A modern sapphire and gold ring centered by a sugarloaf sapphire in a white-gold bezel, and set in a brushed yellow-gold mount with tapering open shoulders, in 18k. Atw sapphire 5.57 cts.

Sugarloaf cabochons are a wonderful variation on the traditional cabochon
shape, rarer and often highly desirable. A sugarloaf, like all cabochons, has a smooth, polished
surface and no facets, utilizing some of the most ancient cutting techniques. Sugarloaf cabochons have a four-sided, domed pyramidal shape, which optimizes the natural colors of a variety of colored stones.
 The stone cut is presumably named after the form in which refined sugar was usually produced and sold until the mid-19th century when it became available in cubes and granulated form.
