The shield cut isn't made in standard sizes, and you won't find it in a catalogue. Each one is cut from a particular piece of rough to its own outline, so no two are the same. This is 1.60 carats of deep blue natural Madagascar sapphire in a crisp shield shape: a stone for a ring designed around it, a geometric pendant, or a men's signet that looks like no one else's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"rj-pd-points\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural.

Instead of the even sparkle of a round, its facets throw the blue in sharp, angular flashes. It looks deliberate and architectural, and suits a bezel or a setting that follows the outline closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe colour\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rich deep blue from Madagascar, saturated enough to hold its colour in low light without turning inky. The colour shifts gently between pure blue and a cooler tone as the stone moves, a natural effect of the crystal and the faceting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the inclusions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone has natural inclusions, and some can be seen with the naked eye depending on the light. The photos show it as it is. If you need an eye-clean stone, this isn't the right one, and we'd rather tell you now. If you love natural character, it is a striking, honest sapphire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSetting it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no standard mounts for a shield cut, so it needs a setting made to its outline. A goldsmith can build a bezel or a close-fitting prong setting around 8.1 × 6.6 mm, and the shallow 3.4 mm depth keeps it low on the finger. We're happy to send exact measurements and an outline for your jeweler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA gemstone for him: the men's signet ring\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Roho Jewels, we believe men deserve beautiful gemstones too. A natural shield cut sapphire set into a signet ring is a bold, personal alternative to a plain metal signet: one-of-a-kind, full of character, and a ring he'll wear for decades and one day pass down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignet face:\u003c\/strong\u003e at 8.1 × 6.6 mm, this stone suits a signet face of about 12–15 mm (most men choose a face of about 15–18 mm), great on the ring or middle finger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e flush (gypsy), bezel or half-bezel keeps it low and smooth, with no claws to catch on sleeves or gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e the stone is 3.4 mm deep, so ask your jeweler for a signet head at least 4.4 mm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in yellow gold, sharp in white gold or platinum, rugged in oxidised sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mohs 9, second only to diamond, so it is tough enough for a ring worn every day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e husbands, fathers, grooms, graduates, milestone birthdays, or a signet he buys for himself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBirthstone meaning\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSapphire is the birthstone for September and the traditional gemstone for 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries, long a symbol of loyalty, wisdom and sincerity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique Engagement Rings · Men's Signet Rings · Geometric Pendants · Jewelry Designers · September Birthdays · Christmas · Gifts for Him\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Roho Jewels\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Roho Jewels, everything begins with the stone.
