Dream beyond the traditional. The Skye Kite® cornflower sapphire ring set centers a fantasy kite-cut sapphire in a vivid purplish-cornflower blue, set against a smoky blackened band that turns the whole ring into a piece of midnight. Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished in deep black ruthenium, this two-piece set is a captivating, dark-romance alternative to the classic engagement ring.

A geometric, gothic proposal
The Skye Kite® set is built around one of the most striking silhouettes in alt-bridal — the angular kite cut, whose sharp facets scatter light in a fantasy “fireworks” pattern. Lifted above a blackened band, the geometry feels architectural and otherworldly, made for those who love gothic engagement rings with a modern, magical edge. Prefer to keep exploring the kite silhouette? Our kite-cut sapphire engagement rings gather more of it, and our sapphire couples rings carry the same dark-romance spirit.
The engagement ring
Holds the 7 x 10 mm kite-cut cornflower sapphire, framed by simulated diamonds and sapphires — the statement piece and focal point of the set.
The matching band
A slender blackened band engineered to stack and sit in symmetry with the engagement ring, completing the two-piece silhouette. Beautiful worn alone too.
The cornflower sapphire
The center is a 7 x 10 mm kite-cut simulated cornflower sapphire in a mesmerizing purplish-blue — a color that shifts between periwinkle and violet as the light moves. Simulated sapphire gives you that vivid, saturated cornflower tone with crisp, consistent color and brilliant sparkle, chosen to look its most dramatic framed by dark metal. To understand the lore behind the blue, our complete guide to sapphire meaning is a lovely place to begin, and you can browse more in our sapphire engagement rings collection.
Simulated diamond and sapphire accents
Precision-set simulated diamonds and sapphires trace the setting, layering white fire and echoes of blue around the kite center. It is a brilliant, budget-friendly way to add depth and contrast, and the flash of bright accents against blackened silver is exactly what gives the Skye Kite® set its edge. Prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite accent instead? Message us — most of our designs can be upgraded.
The black ruthenium finish
The set is finished in black ruthenium, a rare precious metal from the platinum family, applied over solid 925 sterling silver. Ruthenium reads as a deep, smoky gunmetal — a rich blackened-silver tone rather than a flat, pure jet-black. That is its magic: instead of looking painted-on, the finish carries genuine depth and an antique, gothic-vintage warmth, so every angular facet holds a soft shadow. It is a more precious, more durable finish than ordinary black plating or oxidized silver, and it lets a sterling silver ring wear like something far darker and more mysterious. Curious about the metal? Read what is black ruthenium.
What it symbolizes
Sapphire has long stood for loyalty, wisdom and steadfast love, while the kite — and the darkness around it — speaks to individuality and a love that refuses to follow the crowd. Together they make the Skye Kite® set a story worth wearing. For more on the meaning behind dark rings, see our guide to black rings for women and our edit of gothic wedding rings for dark romance.

Sizing & care
Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, we are happy to help — and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee.

Frequently asked questions
Is the sapphire real?
The center is a simulated cornflower sapphire, chosen for its vivid purplish-blue and brilliant sparkle. It gives you the coveted cornflower color at an easy price, cut in a fantasy kite shape to look its most dramatic against the dark metal.
Is it pure black?
Not pure jet-black — and that is by design. Black ruthenium is a deep, smoky gunmetal, a rich blackened-silver tone. It carries real depth and an antique, gothic-vintage warmth that flat, painted jet-black finishes cannot, so the ring reads as dark and mysterious rather than one-dimensional.
What is black ruthenium?
Ruthenium is a rare precious metal from the platinum family. Applied over sterling silver, it creates a deep blackened-silver finish that is more precious and more durable than ordinary black plating or oxidized silver.
What is the kite cut?
An angular, four-sided fantasy cut whose sharp facets scatter light in a “fireworks” pattern. It reads as geometric and otherworldly — a favorite for alternative and gothic engagement rings.
What metal is it made from?
Solid 925 sterling silver, finished in black ruthenium for its smoky gunmetal depth. It is real sterling silver, not a base-metal alloy.
Does this come as a set?
Yes — it includes the kite-cut sapphire engagement ring plus a matching blackened band designed to stack in symmetry beside it. The band can also be worn on its own.
What are the accent stones?
Precision-set simulated diamonds and sapphires that layer white fire and echoes of blue around the center. Prefer lab-grown diamond or moissanite accents? Reach out and we will tailor it.
Will the finish wear off?
Black ruthenium is a precious-metal finish from the platinum family, more durable than black PVD or oxidized silver. With gentle care — removing it for showers, swimming and lotions — it keeps its rich, smoky depth. If it ever needs refreshing down the line, we are happy to help.
Can it be engraved?
Yes. You can add a personal engraving of up to 16 characters at checkout — a date, initials or a short message. Engraved pieces are final sale, so please double-check spelling.
Is it durable enough for daily wear?
Yes. Sterling silver is a firm, wearable metal, the setting secures the stone, and the ruthenium finish adds a durable precious-metal layer. As with any pointed cut, remove the rings for rough activities to protect the kite tips.
What size should I order?
Select your ring size at checkout. If you are unsure or between sizes, contact us for guidance. Resizing is available and starts from a modest fee.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. All of our stones are ethically sourced and conflict-free, so you can wear your set with complete peace of mind.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box and is backed by our lifetime warranty — ready for a proposal or to give as a keepsake.
