Antique Style Bi Color Sapphire Ring 1.11 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.11 carat oval bi color sapphire, a gem that balances presence and refinement. The sapphire measures 6.78 x 5.67 x 3.12 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut combines modified step facets with brilliant style facets to optimize both scintillation and color dispersion. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, a grade that ensures a clean appearance to the naked eye while preserving the natural character of the stone. Color is described as medium light saturation, which delivers a delicate, versatile tone that reads as a cool blue with subtle secondary hues depending on viewing angle and light source. The surface finish is described as excellent, reflecting careful lapidary work, and the stone has undergone standard heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its natural color. The sapphire is from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance long associated with well balanced, luminous sapphires, and the provenance contributes to the gemological and aesthetic story of the piece. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a central element in a design meant to endure.

The mounting is executed entirely in 14K white gold, selected for its balance of strength, wearability, and restrained color. The sapphire is held in a secure multi prong setting that elevates the stone to allow light to enter from multiple angles, without excessive height that would compromise practicality. The shank exhibits fine decorative work, with an engraved motif that runs along the shoulders, a detail that adds texture and a sense of craftsmanship without distracting from the center stone. The proportion between the oval sapphire and the band width creates a classic silhouette, one that sits comfortably as a singular statement or in combination with wedding bands. The overall profile reads as timeless, with traditional elements such as an open gallery and pronged basket paired with subtle ornamental engraving to produce a ring that is both elegant and restrained.

Optically the bi color quality of the sapphire introduces an engaging, yet understated, dynamism to the jewel. Under cooler light the stone leans toward a clearer blue, while warmer light reveals softer, slightly greener or paler nuances, which is characteristic of quality Ceylon material with medium light saturation. The mixed brilliant cut promotes lively return of light, producing pinpoint flashes and broader surface shimmer that animate the oval face up. The dimensions of 6.78 by 5.67 millimeters are well chosen for an oval that reads substantial without overpowering, offering visible table area and a pleasing length to width ratio. The clarity grade of very slightly included indicates that inclusions are not prominent when viewed without magnification, and the excellent polish enhances the gem s visual crispness and symmetry. Heat treatment is a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves color uniformity, and documentation of treatment and origin accompanies the gem to ensure informed ownership.

Beyond aesthetics the ring has been designed with practical long term wear in mind. Four or more secure prongs hold the sapphire, and the 14K white gold construction provides resistance to daily wear while remaining suited to periodic refinishing if desired. Routine care consists of gentle cleaning in warm soapy water and a soft brush, with professional inspection recommended annually to check prong security and overall condition. The engraved shank will develop character over time, a quality many collectors appreciate, and the classical proportions make the ring suitable as an engagement piece, an anniversary gift, or a refined personal acquisition that can be worn alone or paired.
