Whisper Pink Sapphire & Diamond Ring

Whisper Pink Sapphire

& Diamond Ring

After I turned 21, whenever I visited the farm, mother would offer a glass of wine. Her choice of wine was always Boone Farms Tickle Pink and for her it was her tradition of welcome. Often there were Ritz crackers and Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp white cheddar cheese. Just writing this takes me back to her kitchen, the big oak table, the wine glass and the pouring of the wine and her favorite color pink. I miss my mom and all those years growing up on the farm.

This is a far more sophisticated ring than Boone Farms Tickle Pink wine and Ritz crackers. If my mom were here today, I know she would love this ring, for its very fluid, liquidy pink color of the center sapphire. The gem was cut by Phillip Youngman, the world’s best colored gem cutter. Achieving color and brilliance, sparkle and shine has made Youngman a living legend in the world of gems and jewelry.

The ring style is our Essex. Big oval pink sapphire and two high white oval side diamonds, all set in platinum with a 18K yellow gold shank. This will indeed be a magical gift for someone special this Christmas.

Tickle pink which sold for .99 cents a bottle in the early 70’s is now apparently a collectible. There is actually a market for unopened tickle pink wine. Who could have guessed?
