Antique Style Bi Color / Parti Sapphire Ring 1.97 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a 1.97 carat oval bi color parti sapphire measuring 8.92 x 6.42 x 4.06 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance strong scintillation with controlled color display. The mixed brilliant orientation uses a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown and a complementary pavilion geometry to enhance return of white light while preserving the stone color, a key consideration for parti sapphires that exhibit distinct color zoning. The sapphire is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor internal characteristics that do not materially affect transparency or spectacle. Medium color saturation allows the bi color character to read clearly across the oval table, and the excellent polish maximizes both surface luster and optical transmission. Origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes to the stone pedigree, and the oval proportions were selected to present the color split with symmetry, keeping the focal plane near the gem center to emphasize depth and pleochroic variation.

The mounting interprets a synthesis of architectural tracery and organic petal forms, executed in 14 karat yellow gold to complement the sapphire temperature and to warm the overall palette. The crown style gallery is hand finished with openwork arches that reference classical cathedral motifs, and the prong terminals are refined into petal like shoulders that hold the sapphire with consistent pressure points to preserve symmetry and alignment. Flanking the center are two white round lab grown diamonds totaling approximately 0.80 carats, graded Very Slightly Included across VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F, set to provide calibrated side brilliance and to frame the primary hue. Each side stone is faceted to tight tolerances, and the settings are engineered to allow maximum pavilion light access through the gallery, thereby increasing apparent brightness without compromising security. The workmanship demonstrates careful crown height control, precise prong geometry, and an even, polished finish on both interior and exterior band surfaces. This design is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company as a technical and aesthetic statement for collectors who value considered faceting, accurate color handling, and enduring gold craftsmanship.
