A beautiful vintage Blue John solitaire ring crafted in 9 carat yellow gold dating back to 1999. This lovely ring features an exquisite oval cabochon cut Blue John stone with its smooth domed surface perfectly catching the light. It is held in a bezel setting with intricate textured detailing adding a layer of sophistication to its design. Blue John is a semi-precious mineral, a rare and unique form of fluorite with bands of purple-blue. What makes Blue John so special is the fact that it is only found in one part of the entire world, being exclusive to two caves in the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. The ring features split shoulders which gracefully taper into a plain polished band. In very good vintage condition with minimal light wear and 9ct gold hallmark to inner shank. A beautiful timeless piece which combines classic craftsmanship with the natural allure of Blue John.

Care Instructions

Chemicals and chlorine can damage jewellery. It is recommended that you remove it when using body care products, spraying perfume or hairspray, bathing, swimming and whilst doing housework.

Settings and stones can be damaged by accidentally striking the hand against a hard surface. It is best to remove rings when carrying out any manual work or gardening.

To clean your jewellery use tepid water and a few drops of mild soap, a soft jewellery brush or cloth.

Extra care should be taken with opal, turquoise and pearl as these are porous so soaking should be avoided.  To clean wipe with a damp soft cloth and avoid extreme changes in temperature.

When you are not wearing your jewellery it is best stored away in a suitable jewellery box for safekeeping.
