1.16 Ct. Color Change Sapphire and Natural Diamond Three Stone Ring, Platinum 950

Imagine a whisper of twilight captured in metal and stone, a ring that feels like a promise breathed into being. At its heart sits a GIA certified 1.16 carat cushion shape color change sapphire, its mixed brilliant cut facets arranged with the care of a poet arranging verses. Measuring 7.48 by 5.38 by 3.18 millimeters, the stone is transparent and eye clean when viewed at eye level, its intense color intensity singing with an inner glow. Born in Burma Myanmar and left untouched by enhancement, this sapphire carries the quiet authority of origin and the honesty of natural color, its excellent polish allowing each facet to reflect and return light like a pool catching moonlight. Flanking this luminous center are two white trapezoid shaped mixed brilliant cut diamonds weighing a total of 0.82 carats, and fifty eight round mixed brilliant cut diamonds weighing a total of 1.29 carats, each diamond graded VVS1 for clarity and F for color, all cradled in the cool embrace of platinum 950. This is a ring where craft and earth meet, offering not only a jewel but a luminous narrative made tangible.

The cushion mixed brilliant cut at the center performs in a way that is both intimate and theatrical, combining broad, romantic flashes with lively scintillation that answers every turn of the hand. Compared to a round brilliant that scatters light in rapid lively pinpoints, the cushion mixed brilliant offers larger flashes and softer flashes, an effect that feels more like warm candlelight than the staccato glitter of a starry night. Against step cuts such as emerald or asscher which reward the eye with depth, clarity and a hall of mirror reflections, this sapphire chooses a different language, one of movement and mood, letting color breathe across a surface of angled and polished planes. Where a brilliant cut intensifies brilliance and a step cut concentrates color and clarity, the mixed brilliant cushion blends both worlds, creating a performance that reads as both fire and color. The color change nature of this sapphire adds a final, secret verse to that performance, so that as light shifts from the broad daylight spectrum to the warm glow of evening the gem subtly alters its personality, a living emotion that shifts in sympathy with the world around it.

The surrounding diamonds are composed and supportive, not competitive, framing the center with a chorus of white light that elevates the sapphire without stealing its story. The two trapezoid shoulders, cut in a mixed brilliant fashion, offer broad reflective facets that act like mirrors, echoing the cushion shape and adding a sense of architectural balance. The fifty eight round mixed brilliant diamonds contribute a delicate rain of smaller flashes, each facet catch sending tiny prismatic notes into the air, a gentle counterpoint to the sapphire s broader flashes. Compared to pavé of very small single cuts which can create a carpet of steady light, the mixed brilliant rounds here provide a more dynamic response to movement, their cuts tailored to harmonize with the center stone rather than overwhelm it. The VVS1 clarity and F color of these diamonds ensure that they read as pure white light, their near colorlessness warming the sapphire s hue without forcing it into a false shade. Set in platinum 950, the metal s cool purity acts as a perfect stage for both the blue violet of the sapphire and the immaculate white of the diamonds, enhancing contrast, lending endurance, and giving the whole piece a tactile weight that speaks of permanence.

To wear this ring is to carry a changing sky on your finger, to hold a small ceremony of light and memory wherever you go. The Natural Sapphire Company has fashioned this piece not just as an object of beauty but as an heirloom in the making, a jewel whose unenhanced Burmese origin and GIA certification speak to provenance and honesty. The excellent polish magnifies every aspect of the design, allowing the mixed brilliant pavilion to send fire outward while the crown returns color inward, creating an effect that is at once energetic and deeply soulful. If you compare this design to other styles, you will find that it offers a rare balance, the cushion silhouette granting a romantic, softer outline, the mixed brilliant facet architecture delivering both scintillation and broad flashes, and the diamond accents providing a disciplined brilliance that frames the color change as a living story. We invite you to imagine a proposal beneath a kind sky or an anniversary evening that changes color as your memory of the moment deepens, and to consider this ring as the vessel for that memory. For any questions about provenance cut or light performance we at The Natural Sapphire Company are here to guide you, to share the stones story, and to help you see how this ring will perform both beneath the sun and under the gentle light of home.
