WALNUT WOOD 14K WHITE GOLD SAPPHIRE/TOPAZ 3 STONE CURVE RING

It takes a special woman to wear this sapphire: The kind of woman who spends her morning in a puffy down jacket sipping coffee from a tin cup, her breath condensing in the cool late-spring mountain air. She’s on the log of a downed pine tree on the gravelly shore of Peeler Lake at the northeast border of Yosemite—a spot of perfect, deep blue in the otherwise green and grey pattern of rolling Sierra granite. There is still some snow on the peaks around, but the spring has mostly given way to the fluorescent green of the early summer meadows. The walnut wood in her ring is her connection to nature, the sapphire the color of the lake, and the topaz her lightness of spirit and mood.
