Antique Style Bi Color Sapphire Ring 3.02 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

For centuries the sapphires of Ceylon have been worn by kings and collectors who sought gems that combine depth of color with clarity and character, and this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company carries that legacy forward with graceful modernity. At its heart sits a transparent 3.02 carat cushion shape bi color sapphire, measuring 7.36 by 7.01 by 5.65 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and scintillation. Its medium intense color saturation reveals a subtle bi color play that shifts with the light, a visual narrative that links ancient mines to contemporary style. The stone is naturally untreated, no enhancement, a rare and desirable attribute that honors the sapphire in its original state, and it exhibits an excellent polish that accentuates its surface brilliance and the precision of the mixed brilliant cutting. Set in warm 18K yellow gold, the sapphire is flanked by graduated white baguette shaped lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.32 carats, 0.20 carats, and 0.10 carats respectively, each graded VS1 or VS2 for clarity and F for color, a pairing that balances vintage elegance with clean, modern lines.

When considered alongside other high end rings on the market, the clarity and presentation of this sapphire stand out for their exceptional combination of eye level purity and natural authenticity. The sapphire has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in practice means the gem is effectively eye clean, with only minimal natural features detectable under careful inspection and typically invisible at normal viewing distances. Many high end sapphires achieve appealing color and apparent clarity through heat treatment or other enhancements, and while those methods can produce beautiful results, they alter the stone from its natural state. In contrast, an untreated Ceylon sapphire of this size that reads very slightly included represents a confluence of rarity and integrity, and the mixed brilliant cut further mitigates the visibility of minor inclusions by dispersing light more dynamically than a step cut would. The accompanying lab grown baguette diamonds, with their VS clarity and F color, offer a high level of purity and a crisp spectral contrast to the sapphire, mirroring the standards found in top tier jewelry houses and reinforcing the ring’s position among the most refined offerings.

Beyond technical assessment, this ring embodies a timeless narrative that will resonate across generations, a consideration as important as any grading certificate. The Ceylon origin ties the piece to a storied past in which Sri Lankan sapphires were prized for their color and durability, worn in ceremonial regalia and treasured in private collections. The 18K yellow gold setting and the geometric rhythm of graduated baguettes recall classical motifs while the subtle patina and handcrafted details seen along the shank connect the piece to atelier traditions. For a buyer seeking an heirloom that balances historical resonance, gemological excellence, and contemporary wearability, this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company offers an authentically natural 3.02 carat focal sapphire with eye level clarity comparable to the finest untreated stones available, complemented by high quality lab grown diamonds that match the ring in refinement and longevity. The result is a work of jewelry that speaks to legacy, responsible sourcing, and enduring beauty.
