Accent Stones Bi Color Sapphire Ring 2.63 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent bi color sapphire, precisely measured at 2.63 carats with dimensions of 9.62 x 5.66 x 4.71 millimeters, presented in an elongated emerald cut shape with a designer cut profile. The designer cut integrates the step cut geometry traditionally associated with emerald cuts, with a modified crown faceting schema that increases facet count on the crown to intensify return and to articulate the bi color zoning, so the yellow and green tones remain distinct yet harmonious as the stone is rotated. Clarity has been evaluated as eye clean at typical viewing distances, and the stone exhibits intense color saturation with an excellent polish that produces crisp facet junctions and minimal surface deviation. The sapphire originates from Montana and has undergone routine heat treatment to stabilize color and improve clarity, a stable enhancement that is consistent with industry practice and that does not materially affect the structural integrity of corundum. The table to depth relationship as cut maximizes face up spread and color separation while maintaining pavilion volumes sufficient to control light leakage, and the resulting optical performance balances pleochroic effects with broad, even flashes that emphasize the bi color character of the gem.

Complementing the center sapphire are white pear shaped natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.50 carats in total, graded in clarity at the VS1 to VS2 range and in color at E. The pear shapes are faceted to standard brilliant proportions to produce strong scintillation and contrast, their lop-sided symmetry calibrated to sit snugly against the emerald orientation of the sapphire, creating a complementary interplay of step cut and brilliant facet systems. The diamonds are set adjacent to the sapphire in precision machined seats and hand refined prongs, each prong profile contoured to protect vulnerable girdle regions while leaving the pavilion exposed to light for optimal return. The entire assembly is crafted in 18K yellow gold, alloyed and finished to provide a warm color field that enhances the yellow component of the sapphire while offering material robustness, and the mounting features an open under-gallery that permits light ingress and simplifies routine cleaning without compromising mechanical support.

From a durability and everyday wear perspective this design emphasizes material selection and construction techniques that increase longevity and reduce maintenance. Sapphire rates nine on the Mohs scale and corundum crystal structure provides excellent resistance to abrasion and surface wear in daily contexts, while the accompanying diamonds are the hardest natural material, providing scratch resistance to key contact points. The 18K yellow gold setting is engineered with a balanced alloy composition to retain sufficient ductility for secure prong settings while minimizing susceptibility to accidental deformation, the shank and shoulders are dimensioned to distribute stress away from the gallery, and prongs are burnished and tipped to reduce catching on textiles. Heat treatment of the sapphire is a stable enhancement that does not compromise toughness, and the designer cut intentionally orients the sapphire so that load bearing and potential impacts occur across robust facet junctions and away from delicate corners. Routine care recommended by The Natural Sapphire Company includes periodic inspection of prong integrity, conservative cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoidance of aggressive chemical exposure, procedures that together will preserve the technical precision of the cut, the polish, and the secure setting for daily wear over many years.
