Three Cuts, One Shifting Colour

Most rings built around a single coloured stone stick to one shape throughout. The Alexa Ring doesn't - emerald cut, oval, and pear all appear across the design, each one carrying the same restless teal.

The ring carries natural Australian teal sapphires across three cuts: three emerald cut stones totalling 0.8ct, two oval cut stones totalling 0.43ct, and two pear cut stones totalling 0.39ct.

What Makes a Teal Sapphire Different

Teal sapphires get their distinctive colour from a natural blend of blue and green within the same stone, rather than sitting cleanly in one category or the other. Depending on the light and the angle, the balance shifts - sometimes reading closer to blue, sometimes closer to green, without ever fully settling.

Being natural and Australian in origin, these sapphires also carry a genuine sense of place. Australia has become particularly well known for producing teal sapphires with real depth and character, distinct from sapphires sourced elsewhere.

Why Three Different Cuts, Rather Than One

Each shape shows the teal colour a little differently. The emerald cut's wide, open facets let the colour sit flat and clear, almost architectural in how it reads. The ovals soften that with a rounder, more even spread of colour. The pear shapes add a sense of direction, tapering to a point. Together, the same underlying colour reads three distinct ways across the one design.

Warm 9ct Yellow Gold

Crafted in 9ct yellow gold, the Alexa Ring pairs a rich, classic metal tone with the sapphires' shifting blue-green colour, tying the three different cuts together into one cohesive design.

Why Teal Pairs So Easily

Because it never fully commits to blue or green, teal has a genuine flexibility most single-toned stones don't - it sits comfortably next to a blue-heavy wardrobe just as easily as a green one, without ever looking like the odd one out.
