Pave Bi Color Sapphire Ring 1.70 Ct., 10K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent bi color sapphire weighing 1.70 carats, emerald cut, with dimensions 7.52 x 5.99 x 3.67 mm. The sapphire was sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it exhibits medium color saturation with a clear, eye clean clarity when evaluated at eye level. The stone shows an excellent polish, and the emerald cut presents broad step facets that create a refined pattern of light and depth. The cut proportions and the rectangular silhouette maintain a classic profile, while the bi color character is visible through the pavilion and table, offering subtle shifts in hue as the gem meets light. These attributes were selected to showcase both the internal structure of the sapphire and the way it responds to ambient and directional illumination.

The setting is executed in 14K yellow gold, chosen to complement and contrast the green and golden tones of the sapphire. The design uses four slender prongs that secure each corner of the emerald cut without obscuring the gem faces, allowing maximum exposure of the crown and table. The prongs are shaped and positioned to follow the geometry of the emerald cut, minimizing metal coverage along the edges and preserving the stone outline. The head sits in a shallow basket with an open gallery, permitting light to enter from below and behind, and enhancing the clarity and color transmission of the stone. The shank is a smooth, rounded band with a high polish finish, providing a continuous reflective surface that passes light back to the sapphire and emphasizes the brightness of the table.

A line of white round natural diamonds is incorporated into the inner profile of the head, totaling approximately 0.189 carats. These diamonds are graded VS for clarity and F G for color, and they are set to be discrete yet intentional, positioned along the gallery where their scintillation amplifies the sapphire without competing with it. The small scale and tight setting of these stones create a soft halo effect when seen from certain angles, and when the ring is viewed from the side the diamonds add a layer of internal sparkle that animates the pavilion of the center gem. The combined effect is one of contrast and balance, the white diamonds lending crisp, lively flashes that accentuate the cooler tones of the sapphire, and the yellow gold introducing warmth that rounds the visual character of the composition.

The craftsmanship emphasizes clean proportions and finishing details that contribute to both aesthetics and durability. All metal surfaces are highly polished to a consistent sheen, and the prongs and gallery are finished to ensure secure retention of the center stone while maintaining comfortable wear. The open gallery and minimal prong footprint also facilitate cleaning access, helping to preserve the visual performance of the sapphire over time. The emerald cut itself benefits from the restraint of the setting, as the broad step facets display clarity and color in larger, more even planes, while the orientation and elevation of the head optimize the path of light through the table and into the pavilion.

This ring is presented as a considered study in restraint and contrast, combining a finely proportioned Ceylon bi color sapphire with carefully placed accent diamonds and a warm 14K yellow gold setting. The design supports and highlights the gem characteristics, the open construction and polished metal enhancing transparency and color without unnecessary ornamentation. For collectors and those seeking an elegantly modern solitaire with subtle accent detail, this piece offers a secure and wearable profile together with the refined optical presence of a Ceylon emerald cut sapphire, brought to market and crafted by The Natural Sapphire Company.
