18k White Gold Padparadscha Sapphire and Tourmaline Ring

Vivid color meets masterful craftsmanship in this 18k white gold padparadscha sapphire and tourmaline ring, a striking fine art piece designed and made by Sydney Strong. This handcrafted ring centers around a rare 0.96-carat oval padparadscha sapphire—a gemstone prized for its unique blend of pink and orange tones that evoke the warmth of a tropical sunset. The partial bezel setting frames the sapphire’s brilliance while allowing light to enter the stone from every angle, enhancing its natural fire.

Flanking the sapphire are two round faceted greenish-blue tourmalines totaling 0.49 carats, adding a cooling contrast that brings out the padparadscha’s coral glow. The color pairing is unexpected and utterly captivating—perfect for someone who appreciates nontraditional combinations in fine jewelry.

Set in 18k white gold, the overall silhouette is bold yet elegant. The cool tone of the metal highlights the warm hues of the padparadscha and the crisp vibrancy of the tourmaline, resulting in a composition that feels both grounded and ethereal. This is a piece of padparadscha jewelry that doesn't shy away from attention.

Sydney Strong, known for her artistic eye and precision craftsmanship, designed this piece for individuals who want more—more color, more meaning, more distinction.
