The complete two-ring set — a vivid pear-cut lab-created blue sapphire engagement ring (~1.2ct) with hidden halo and CZ pavé shoulders, crowned by a coordinating art deco contour band: baguette and graduated round accents fanning upward in a radiant sunburst that frames the sapphire like a dark tiara. Both rings in high-polish black ruthenium over solid 925 sterling silver. From above, royal blue burning against gunmetal black, ringed by a geometric crown of white light; from the side, the hidden halo's secret circle of sparkle. Gothic glamour meets Great Gatsby geometry — a black bridal set for lovers of dark romance who want the full, finished composition.

About the Black Ruthenium Color
Black ruthenium reads as a deep gunmetal gray-black — a dark, smoky, mirror-polished charcoal tone — rather than a flat jet black. It's a platinum-family metal plated over the solid sterling silver base, prized exactly for that liquid-dark luster: it catches light the way polished hematite does, making the blue sapphire and white accents glow hotter by contrast. If you're expecting matte jet black, this finish is darker-than-graphite gunmetal — we want that to be clear before you order.
Like all dark finishes, the ruthenium plating can soften at high-contact points over years of wear, gradually revealing the bright silver beneath. Re-finishing service is available to restore the full dark luster — message us anytime.
The Engagement Ring
Pear-cut lab-created blue sapphire (~1.2ct) in claw prongs above a hidden halo — a concealed circle of CZ beneath the stone, visible from the side profile — with CZ pavé running down each shoulder of the ~2mm band.
The Art Deco Crown Band
Curved contour band with baguette CZ and graduated round CZ fanning upward in a radiant sunburst, designed to nest above the engagement ring and crown the pear sapphire like a dark tiara.
About the art deco crown band
The set's defining addition is the coordinating band: a curved contour silhouette set with alternating baguette and round accents that radiate outward and upward in a sunburst fan — classic art deco geometry, the same alternating-cut radiance found in 1920s tiaras and Gatsby-era jewelry. Worn nested above the engagement ring, the band crowns the pear sapphire, completing the composition into something regal: the teardrop of royal blue at the center, the geometric fan of white light above it, all carried in dark gunmetal metal.
The contour curve is shaped specifically to follow the pear's rounded crown, so the two rings sit flush with no gap. The band also works worn alone on another finger as a curved statement band, or as an anniversary addition to a ring you already own.
About the hidden halo engagement ring
The engagement ring carries a hidden halo — a circle of CZ accents set around the basket directly beneath the sapphire, invisible from above and revealed as a ring of sparkle from the side profile. It lifts the center stone slightly for a taller, more sculptural presence, and gives the dark side profile a glowing secret only close company ever notices. CZ pavé runs down each shoulder, threading the black band with white light.
About the lab-created blue sapphire
The center stone is lab-created blue sapphire — real corundum (the same mineral as natural mined sapphire), grown in controlled lab conditions with the same chemistry, the same Mohs 9 hardness (second only to diamond), and the same saturated royal blue as fine natural sapphire. The only difference is origin, which is what makes a vivid ~1.2ct stone accessible. Sapphire is the September birthstone and a centuries-old symbol of wisdom, loyalty, and truth.
About the black ruthenium over sterling silver
Both rings are solid 925 sterling silver — not plated base metal — finished in high-polish black ruthenium, a durable platinum-family plating that gives the set its dark gunmetal luster. All white accents across both rings are simulated diamond (CZ). Lead-free, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic; genuine 925 sterling silver does not turn skin green. The black-on-blue palette pushes a classical sapphire-and-art-deco composition into gothic, dark-romance, and fantasy territory — vivid color and period geometry, carried in darkness.

Sizing & care
True to size and comfort-fit; both rings are sized the same. If you don't know your size, message us before ordering — we can send a complimentary ring sizer.
The sapphire center (Mohs 9) handles daily wear excellently. To preserve the black ruthenium finish on both rings, avoid harsh chemicals (chlorine, bleach, ammonia), abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic and steam cleaners, and remove the set before swimming, gardening, or heavy work. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth only — never abrasive polishing cloths on the dark finish. Store the two rings nested or separately in their box so other jewelry doesn't rub the plating.
Frequently asked questions
Is the black finish jet black or gray?
Deep gunmetal gray-black — a dark, smoky, mirror-polished charcoal tone, like polished hematite. It is darker than graphite but not a flat jet black. The high-polish finish catches light, which is exactly what makes the blue sapphire and white accents glow against it. If you're expecting matte jet black, please note the difference before ordering.
What exactly is included in the set?
Two rings: the pear sapphire engagement ring (with hidden halo and pavé shoulders) and the coordinating art deco crown contour band. Both are black ruthenium over solid 925 sterling silver and ship together. The engagement ring is also available on its own as a separate listing if you don't want the band.
Do the two rings sit flush together?
Yes — the crown band's contour curve is shaped to follow the pear sapphire's rounded crown, so the band nests above the engagement ring with no gap, reading as one finished composition on the finger.
What is the hidden halo on the engagement ring?
A circle of simulated diamond (CZ) accents set around the basket directly beneath the sapphire. It's invisible from above and reveals itself as a ring of sparkle when viewed from the side. It also lifts the center stone slightly for a taller, more sculptural profile.
Is the sapphire real?
Yes — lab-created blue sapphire is real corundum, the same mineral as natural mined sapphire, with the same chemistry, Mohs 9 hardness, and royal blue color. The only difference is controlled laboratory origin. It is not glass or CZ.
Are the white stones real diamonds?
No — the hidden halo, pavé shoulders, and all baguette and round accents on the crown band are simulated diamond (cubic zirconia/CZ). The lab-created sapphire is the real-gemstone focal point. Moissanite or diamond accents available on a solid 14K gold custom version — message us before ordering.
Can the crown band be worn on its own?
Yes — it works alone as a curved art deco statement band on any finger, or as an anniversary band added to an engagement ring you already own (the contour suits pear, oval, and round centers).
Will the black finish wear off?
Black ruthenium is a durable platinum-family plating over the solid sterling silver base, but like all dark finishes it can gradually soften at high-contact points over years of daily wear — including where the two rings touch. Gentle care extends it significantly, and a re-finishing service is available to restore the full dark luster on either or both rings — message us anytime.
How big is the center stone?
Approximately 1.2 carats in a pear/teardrop cut. The elongated silhouette wears larger than its carat weight suggests, the hidden halo lifts it for added height, and the crown band's fan extends the composition further up the finger — the full set has substantially more presence than the carat number implies.
Will this set turn my finger green?
No. Both rings are genuine solid 925 sterling silver under the ruthenium plating — lead-free, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic. Green skin reactions come from low-quality base metals, not real 925 silver or ruthenium.
Can I get this set in solid gold or a bright finish?
Yes — message us before ordering. We can quote the same set in bright sterling silver (no black finish), or in solid 14K white, yellow, or rose gold with upgraded accent stones.
What's included in the box?
Both rings, a free luxury velvet jewelry box, and a care card. Free USA shipping.
