LITWIN’S ADVENT CALENDAR: High fashion through hand sculpting and giant gems. The Oxidized Silver Kensington ring features a round colossal Peridot with unusual gemstone fire, set in a 24K yellow gold bezel. This setting is also available with a London Blue Topaz.

This is how we roll. We not only went the extra mile, we went an extra 800—because we wished to satisfy a customer. First, we headed to the Mid-America Jewelry Show in Columbus, Ohio to gather a group of carefully selected, rare lavender sapphires. Then we traveled to Chicago to show them to our customer in person.

Now, we are making her ring with the wonderful sapphire she chose, and we wanted to share the rest of this collection with you. Each of these stones is unique and stunning, and they’ll only be here through this week. Perhaps one is just right for you!

Keep in mind: sapphire is September’s birthstone, but it’s right for any day of the year.

Pictured are five very special stones, from left to right:

• 4.49 carat lavender oval sapphire
• 4.46 carat indigo color-change cushion cut sapphire
• 6.60 carat violet emerald cut sapphire (with certification) set in an 18 karat white gold mounting with .37 carats of round diamonds.
• 4.27 carat violet cushion cut sapphire
• 13.15 carat cushion cut pink zircon (we know, it’s not a purple sapphire, but it’s amazing! 10x sparklier than a diamond…really.)

If you’re a connoisseur of sapphires, or love the color purple, you simply must see these!
