Amphitrite Molten Sapphire Ring

In Greek mythology, Amphitrite was the goddess of the sea. Not a minor deity, not a nymph elevated by marriage. She was a Nereid, daughter of the old sea god Nereus, and she ruled the ocean long before Poseidon ever held a trident. When he pursued her, she fled to the Atlas Mountains. She returned on her own terms. This molten ring features a natural 7x5mm oval sapphire in the color of Amphitrite's domain: the deep, shifting blue of open water, caught somewhere between storm and stillness.  The band is not hollowed out, as is common in modern manufacturing to lower the gold weight. It is solid through, with the heft and permanence of something pulled whole from the earth. The sapphire sits flush in its bezel like a tide pool held in stone. Handmade to order in New York from 100% recycled gold.
