Bezel Bi Color Sapphire Ring 3.81 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the deep, weathered soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where rivers have carried mineral riches for millennia, this cushion shaped bi color sapphire began its slow and miraculous journey, born of heat and pressure and the patient shaping of the earth, the stone that now sits at the heart of this ring started as microscopic traces of aluminum and titanium within molten rock, over countless seasons those traces arranged into crystal, and through erosion and the careful work of local miners the rough sapphire was set free from its mountain cradle, the gem is transparent with an intense color saturation that speaks of Ceylon provenance, its 3.81 carat weight and dimensions of 9.67 x 7.86 x 5.64 mm give it a presence without overpowering the finger, the mixed brilliant cut and the cushion shape were chosen to honor the stone itself, to allow its bi color nature to breathe, and to translate the gentle shift of hue into lively scintillation and depth, the clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a truthful reminder of its natural origin, the polish is excellent, and the stone has no enhancement, every facet reflects light the way years of geological patience intended.

When the rough reached our bench it entered the hands of cutters and goldsmiths whose craft completes the gem story, the mixed brilliant cut was executed to balance fire and brilliance, to capture the dual tones of the bi color sapphire and present them as a living surface that moves with the wearer, the cushion outline offers both antique soul and modern poise, and each facet was refined to an excellent polish so the stone reads as transparent and alive, the setting is entirely 18K yellow gold, chosen for its warm embrace of the blue violet tones and for its long standing role in timeless jewelry, the gallery work and shoulders were formed with attentive geometry and gentle arches so that light can pass beneath the stone while the bezel and claws hold it securely, every joint was soldered and finished by hand, every surface was burnished until the metal itself seemed to glow, the result is a ring that speaks of both natural wonder and human skill, a collaboration between the earth and the artisan.
