Vintage Australian parti sapphire spray ring 9ct white gold
Phenomenonal parti sapphire ring with an abundance of Australian sapphires all pear cut to perfection. This 1970s piece is designed in the 1950s flower spray style to utilise the gorgeous sapphires coming out of Australia at the time! Parti sapphires first found popularity in the 1970s and were abundant however now there are fewer and much smaller and with that they have become much rarer and more sort aftet. So purchasing secondhand pieces like this is a great investment. The tiered 9ct white gold setting really showcases the colours of these stunning sapphire. Then the combinatiom of the little textured leaves and pear sapphires have such a lovely botanical feel and flow. What I most like is the balance this piece has, even though it's not symmetrical like so many rings. Hallmarked and acid tested 9ct with light wear to gems and gold.
Size N
Weight 6.97g
Approx 3.5ct
Sits 13mm off the finger
Dark green to mid- light green with a mixture of blues. Sapphires have inclusions and some light wear to gold and gems.

Cocktail Rings : A love story
I adore all rings but the cocktail ring holds a special place in my heart and has become what I am most known for finding.
My love of Cocktail rings was fostered by what they represented to me. The outlandish style and the way they stood out was always something I admired.
My Nanna was very independant and always seemed to be so in control and often wore jewellery she had purchased herself. These large and powerful rings represented freedom, choice and a strong sense of self. When I wear a cocktail rings they give me that same strength and confidence.
My hope is that they can do that for you too!

Let customers speak for us
I haven’t taken her off since I opened the box. So simple yet beautiful. So many people have complimented me on her. Sarah was absolutely fantastic, great communication. Looking forward to finding some more gems in the future :)
Absolutely loved my experience working with Sarah to get this very special ring. Highly recommend for the unique pieces and the fantastic customer service and care. Thank you!
Lovely, this is going to be a surprise for my husbands 75th birthday, he will love it.
Many thanks Lyn
Supurb ring, as described and in perfect condition. Arrived safe and beautifully gift wrapped. Great seller communication. Very happy with purchase. Thank you A++
I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this beautiful antique ring and it’s so special to use as a symbol of love between my husband and I! Thank you so much for your kindness and please know how grateful we are! 🤍💍✨
I’m in love!! The ring is beautiful.
The packaging fabulous.
The promptness of delivery unreal. My ring arrived so quickly I was shocked.
Thankyou. I shall be purchasing from The Secret Compartment again.
Sarah is ‘one if a kind’, just like the fabulous rings she sells. She goes above and beyond to help or answer any questions and the quality of her items is second to none. I’ve lost count as to how many rings I’ve bought from this wonderful seller. Lord knows, I’ll be back again! Thank you for sourcing the very best vintage/antique jewels for us to enjoy Sarah. You certainly have an eye for the special ones. My mum couldn’t be happier with her beautiful anniversary aquamarine💙🙏🏼✨
Sarah made this process such a pleasure. She sent me a bunch of additional pictures and videos so I could compare two rings I was looking at side by side and make my choice. She was almost immediately responsive, despite being on the other side of the world, and offered several payment options to make it feasible for us. And our package arrived from Australia to the US West Coast in 6 days! We’ll be looking for any reasons we can to buy more piece from her in the future.
Sarah was very easy to order from, obliging with sending more pictures and videos to make it easier to decide between the gorgeous options she had available. Ordered this as my engagement ring and am super happy with the decision. This is the second time I have ordered a ring from Sarah and both great experiences :)
WOW!! So impressed by every aspect of this experience. Sarah is lovely, and shipping to the US from Aus was surprisingly fast and issue-free. The ring came wrapped in the actual cutest wrapping paper I’ve ever seen, in a luxurious box, and of course the piece itself is stunning and will be treasured. Cannot recommend enough!
Simply gorgeous ring, even better than photographed. Fits perfectly. Lovely touches to the packing and unexpected presentation box! Many thanks, I would not hesitate to purchase from Sarah at The Secret Compartment again.
Spectacular customer service and stunning ring I will be doing business again with the seller !! Highly recommended from a seasoned buyer!!!
I bought myself a lockdown pick-me-up, and it arrived THE NEXT DAY, exactly as described, wrapped, in a beautiful box, with a lovely note! Such a wonderful shopping experience!! Thanks again!!!
Love the brooch, beautiful. even better there is the gift oe matching pendant. Very generous. delivery was fast and reliable. Thank you Sarah. My new favorite Etsy shop.
Absolutely thrilled with my purchase. An easy, friendly process with great communication. The ring arrived timely & beautifully packaged. The Secret Compartment has such a lovely collection of rings available for sale & now I'm lucky enough to call this one mine.
