Platinum and violet sapphire wave engagement ring
An asymmetric, curvaceous platinum engagement ring. This design is called the 'Wave' due to the way it flows up and around the stone. This modern engagement ring is designed with a curved ring shank, which is hand-forged to sweep up and curve around the sapphire. This Wave engagement ring in satin-finished platinum is set with a with 0.57ct rose-cut violet sapphire and is pictured as part of a pair with a fitted platinum wedding band. Platinum fitted wedding bands from £850.
Set with a 0.57ct violet sapphire mined in Madagascar, the vibrant colour of this gorgeous stone is offset beautifully against the soft satin finish of the cool platinum. Ethically and responsibly mined, this sapphire was supplied by our partner Wennick-Lefèvre. Like each of Wennick-Lefèvre's sapphires, this gemstone is untreated, meaning it has not had any form of treatment, including heat-treatment, to enhance its colour or clarity, retaining a rare and completely natural beauty.

Ethically and responsibly mined
Each of Wennick–Lefévre’s gemstones are untreated and unheated, maintaining their inherit natural beauty. Untreated natural gemstones are regarded as the very finest and most precious.

From the source
Mined by hand
The sapphires and chrysoberyl in our W-L collection were mined in Ilakaka, Madagascar, an area with a well-developed tradition of small-scale gem mining. Many of the mines in Ilakaka are operated as collectives and it is the miners themselves that sell the stones directly. Wennick-Lefèvre select and buy each of their gemstones in-person and always on site, along with visiting the mines to assess the conditions, and only buying from miners and dealers they know.
To the machine
Cut with care
The stones are then cut in Sri Lanka in a lapidary factory, Sunrise Facets, owned in partnership between Wennick-Lefèvre and Nilanthi Thisera, a colleague and long time friend. Nilanthi is the first woman in Sri Lanka to own and run a cutting factory. Together they partnered to build a cutting factory based on the values of equality, respect, and a healthy life/work balance.
