Blue Sky with Weather Vane Ring – Sapphire & Diamond

18ct yellow gold, Madagascan sapphire, white diamonds

This ring harks back to a time when we relied on weather vanes to help predict the weather. Featuring a beautiful step cut 1.03ct Madagascan blue sapphire which represents the blue sky. The pointed setting is reminiscent of these weather vanes, with the gemstone pointing imaginatively into the direction of the wind. And sitting by its side, a small sparkling diamond representing a droplet of water, the rain.  A weather vane spins and points in the direction from which the wind is blowing and was used to predict the intensity of storms. Farmers used these weathervanes to gather information about prevailing winds in order to know how to plant their crops and ensure proper pollination of their fields. They were also able to predict changes in weather by understanding the weather patterns of their region. Winds blowing in from certain directions would bring hot winds or cold winds, storms and rain.
