The Alcor

Specifications

About the Alcor

Named after the companion star to Mizar in Ursa Major, the Alcor is a ring that rewards a closer look. Rich blue sapphires are set in 18ct yellow gold, creating a colour contrast that is bold, sophisticated, and deeply classic. The Alcor is designed to be noticed.

Sapphires rank 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamonds, making them an excellent choice for a ring worn regularly. Their deep velvety blue and long association with wisdom and loyalty make them one of the most meaningful gemstone choices available.
