Britt’s Pick: The Rainbow Vault Ring by Robinson Pelham

Post by PinkDiamond »

I suppose it's the rebel in me that allows me to wear pastels all winter, and I match my jewelry to my outfit so neither dark nor light stones have seasons for me. :lol:

Here's a lovely ring that I thought you'd enjoy seeing. I wish we could see it modeled so we'd be able to see the scale of it, but c'est la vie. 8-)

So we need a year-round rainbow, and this is the one.

From London-based jeweler Robinson Pelham—a master of colorful designs—this Rainbow Vault ring takes on an updated silhouette that looks fierce on the finger, with saturated hues to spare. I love the way it’s completely paved in gemstones, from multicolor sapphires to emerald, tsavorite, citrine, and topaz, but I’m also entranced by its artful detail.
