Peridot Slingshot ring

Slingshot by Christine Sadler

There is something intrinsically playful about slingshots. They are associated with mischief makers and laughter. This design which holds a trillion cut gemstone very securely has a sense of fun. One curved edge of the stone is cupped by the metal with a V shaped claw opposite. It looks poised to launch and protect the wearer. The inspiration for this design was to create something using stones that would act as a symbol of protection and a slingshot was the perfect creative solution.

This ring is set with a trillion cut peridot 0.75ct in 9ct white gold. It's designed so it sits next to a straight wedding ring giving greater flexibility and choice when it comes to picking a wedding ring to go with it as the wedding band doesn't need to be shaped to fit. This ring is ideal as both an engagement ring or a right hand ring.

Peridot is the birthstone for August. It is a beautiful crisp green gemstone with the freshness of a granny smith apple.
