Three Stone Bi Color Sapphire Ring 1.11 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a 1.11 carat marquise shape bicolor sapphire from Madagascar, carefully selected and set by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 8.30 by 4.48 by 3.87 millimeters, presenting an elegant length to width proportion that reads as 1.85 to 1, a balance that preserves the marquise silhouette while optimizing surface area for light collection. The mixed brilliant cut employed in this sapphire blends a brilliant style crown with a modified pavilion facet architecture, a combination intended to harvest incident light across the table and bezel facets and to return it as concentrated scintillation and broad face up brilliance. These faceting choices, together with the excellent polish, produce crisp reflection patterns and a lively interaction of flash and dispersion that is particularly effective in marquise outlines where controlled light flow is essential to avoid dead zones near the points.

From a proportions standpoint the sapphire has a total depth of 3.87 millimeters, which corresponds to approximately sixty one percent depth relative to the average of the length and width. This proportional depth sits in the range where pavilion angles are steep enough to direct light back through the crown rather than leaking out the sides, while remaining shallow enough to keep the table large and the entry of light broad. The mixed brilliant facet map uses smaller pavilion facets converging toward the culet region, a distributed pavilion design that enhances return of white light and colored flashes and reduces the pronounced bow tie effect that can occur in elongated shapes. On the crown, a balanced arrangement of star and kite facets around a moderately sized table maximizes the number of internal reflections visible at typical viewing distances, creating a harmonic pattern of scintillation when the ring moves, and a steady broad area of color when viewed face up.

Color and clarity interact with this cut to accentuate the sapphire s optical performance. The piece exhibits medium intense color saturation across its bicolor range, a clean transition from green to teal that the mixed brilliant faceting presents as layered color zones in motion. Because there is no enhancement, the hue and saturation are entirely natural, so the way the color disperses and concentrates under different lighting conditions is authentic to the Madagascar origin. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, a descriptor that means inclusions are extremely minor and do not interrupt the engineered light paths created by the faceting. Those minute internal features can in practice act as additional scatter points that contribute to localized flashes without impairing overall brilliance. The excellent polish across all facets ensures that surface diffusion is minimized and that light transmission and contrast remain sharp, preserving crisp facet junctions and allowing the mixed brilliant design to deliver maximum return.

Flanking the center sapphire are two white marquise shaped lab grown diamonds, with a combined weight of approximately 0.24 carats and individual clarity grades in the range of very slightly included, specifically VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F. These side marquise diamonds are selected to provide bright, high contrast reflections that frame the sapphire and extend the light architecture outward across the shoulders of the ring. Their marquise form echoes the center profile, creating a continuous line of pointed symmetry and coordinated scintillation. The entire composition is set in 14 karat white gold, engineered to support the optical design with a low profile gallery that allows light to enter beneath the stones and to exit through the crowns with minimal obstruction. The prong seats are precision formed to secure the stones while exposing as much pavilion as possible to ambient light, and the bezel and gallery milling are executed to sustain clean lines and even light distribution. As with all pieces from The Natural Sapphire Company the ring reflects a commitment to facet level decision making and hand finishing, resulting in a jewel that prioritizes engineered brilliance and refined color presentation for discerning buyers who value technical craftsmanship and natural provenance.
