Barbara Bixby’s Paisley Pavé Ring

One of my Valentine’s Day gifts from my husband was a gorgeous paisley ring by Barbara Bixby. I’ve never seen a design quite like this one; it’s very unique! I love it; definitely a go-to item!!! Here is a description of the ring…

Paisley Pavé Ring

“It’s very difficult to make this domed, inlaid stone that’s obviously custom carved to fit into this shape, and to inlay the 18K gold and pavé section in the middle is a testimony to artistic craftsmanship. The softness of the blue chalcedony is enhanced by the 18K gold bezel and sparkling blue sapphire pavé. The graceful shank has two 18K gold signature flowers symbolizing spiritual awakening. As I thought about the traveling gypsy caravan, I loved the idea of using the paisley motif, as it’s a prevalent design motif in India where the gypsies are said to have originated. It represents both the time of harvest and the harvest of spiritual knowledge.” —Barbara Bixby

“Paisley panache. A blue chalcedony gemstone in a bold paisley design takes center stage atop this sterling silver ring. Within the paisley design is an 18K yellow gold border framing stunning bead-set blue sapphires. A unique design highlights the bezel and shank, while 18K yellow gold flowers dazzle on the shoulders and a sterling silver flower blooms at the bottom of the shank. From Barbara Bixby.
