You're standing in the middle of Red Square at the peak of the Russian winter. If you listen closely, you can almost hear the snowflakes falling. Sidewalks are smothered in white and the colorful onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral are frosted with a slick twinkling of ice. The Moscow skyline sparkles like diamonds. The great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy strolled the same frozen streets while composing his romantic masterpiece, "Anna Karenina." His story of passion and longing set in 19th century Russia is still considered one of the greatest novels of all time.

Our 14K White Gold Sapphire & Diamond Empress Ring evokes the spirit of that elegant era of imperial society. The Russian royals were famous for their exquisite taste and the gem and jewelry collections of the great Czars rank among the world's most spectacular treasures. With such a stunning and elaborate design, our jewelers have crafted a ring that would look right at home on the finger of Tolstoy's high-society heroine. An oval-cut blue sapphire (1/3 ctw) sits in the center of an ornate 14K white gold setting, surrounded by four, faceted square sapphires (1/4 ctw). A half carat of genuine, brilliant-cut white diamonds sparkle throughout the vintage-inspired setting, adding a dazzling complement to the cool blue stones. The perfect gift to celebrate your own epic romance.
