1.04 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire and Natural Diamond Three Stone Ring, 18K Rose Gold

This ring is centered by a precisely faceted marquise cut blue sapphire, executed with a modified brilliant facet scheme to maximize scintillation along the elongated axis. The marquise presents a medium dark tone with strong saturation, a deep bluish violet hue that demonstrates excellent light return through the crown and pavilion facets. The symmetry of the marquise is controlled to minimize bow tie effect, with a carefully proportioned length to width ratio that emphasizes verticality without sacrificing brightness. Flanking the center are two tapered triangular brilliant diamonds that function as architectural counterpoints, their triple facet convergence at the girdle creating focused fire and contrast. These side stones are calibrated for matched weight and optical brightness, and are cut with extra facets in the pavilion to enhance scintillation at oblique viewing angles. All gems are retained in low profile claw seats, the prongs precisely tipped and polished to secure the stones while exposing maximum table area for light interaction, and the girdles are inspected for consistent thickness to ensure durability under everyday wear.

The metalwork is entirely executed in 18K rose gold, chosen for its warm undertone which subtly moderates the sapphire saturation and complements the high dispersion of the side diamonds. The band is drawn to a slender, tapered profile that evolves into a softly rounded shoulder, providing visual lightness and structural support without overwhelming the gemstone cluster. The gallery is engineered with an open framework to allow upward light admission, and the inner shank is hand finished for comfort, polished to a mirror sheen that reflects onto the pavilion facets. Design inspiration is drawn from a botanical motif, specifically a stylized blossom where the marquise represents the central petal and the tapered diamonds evoke two supporting leaves. This interpretation is translated into architectural clarity through precise geometry and axially balanced proportions, resulting in a ring that reads as both organic and engineered. The finishing touches include hand burnishing of prong junctions and a controlled polish that preserves crisp facet junctions, delivering a piece that will appeal to knowledgeable collectors who value both gemological refinement and artisan metalcraft.
