Pave Bi Color Sapphire Ring 3.02 Ct., 18K Rose Gold

At The Natural Sapphire Company we believe that true beauty carries a story, and this ring is a chapter that reaches back into the refined tastes of bygone eras while speaking with modern clarity. At its heart sits a transparent 3.02 carat cushion shape bi color sapphire, carefully cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both color play and scintillation. The stone measures 7.36 by 7.01 by 5.65 millimeters, it has a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and it exhibits a medium intense color saturation with an excellent polish. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire offers the depth and lively color transitions that have defined the island as one of the world capitals of fine corundum for centuries, and the cushion shape evokes the classic proportions favored in antique jewels from the nineteenth century and earlier.

Surrounding the center sapphire, a delicate arrangement of white round natural diamonds provides both structure and radiance, each stone chosen to create measured contrast with the blue green tones of the bi color sapphire. The accent stones include rounds weighing approximately 0.036 carats, 0.04 carats, 0.06 carats, and 0.028 carats, all with clarity graded VS and color graded F or G, so that their sparkle reads as bright white against the warm glow of the metal and the cool shimmer of the sapphire. The ring is entirely set in 14K rose gold, a metal choice that recalls the warm palettes seen in Victorian jewelry while offering contemporary durability and a flattering tone against the skin. The overall silhouette and the scrolling, openwork gallery mirror the graceful, lace like lines found in Edwardian and Belle Époque pieces, where fine metalwork supported a central gem like a flowering crown, and the mixed brilliant facets of the cushion stone bring a modern vitality to that vintage sensibility.

The setting style invites comparison to several celebrated historical approaches. The floral and filigree motifs along the shoulders and gallery are reminiscent of Victorian and Edwardian creations, where jewelers favored nature inspired silhouettes and light, airy openwork, and where platinum and gold were worked into delicate mounts that seemed to float the gemstone above the finger. The use of rose gold and clustered round diamonds calls to mind the romantic sentiments of the Victorian era when warm gold tones and bright accents were used to convey enduring affection. At the same time the strong, four prong elevation that secures the cushion shaped sapphire is evocative of antique solitaires and the prominent settings seen in many royal examples, where the stone is lifted to capture maximum light and to announce its presence with confident poise. This ring blends those historical cues into a unified design that reads as timeless rather than purely retro, making it a piece that honors the past while being utterly wearable today.

Choosing this ring is to choose an heirloom in miniature, an object designed to be worn and loved through generations. Ceylon sapphires have long been associated with trust, wisdom, and protection, prized by collectors and rulers for their clarity and color depth, and this particular bi color example offers a contemporary twist on that long standing legacy. The excellent polish and the careful selection of VS clarity, F G color diamonds ensure that every facet contributes to a steady, refined brilliance that will punctuate both quiet mornings and celebratory evenings. Set in 14K rose gold, the piece will develop a soft, lived in patina over time, deepening its warmth while the sapphire retains its transparent light. At The Natural Sapphire Company we welcome inquiries about wrist tests and custom engraving for those who wish to further personalize this bridge between history and the present, and we stand behind the craftsmanship so that this ring may one day be the centerpiece of your family's story.
