Accent Stones Bi Color Sapphire Ring 1.69 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.69 carat oval bi color sapphire, dimensions 8.12 x 6.36 x 4.03 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both color and light return. The mixed brilliant approach combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a modified pavilion, producing lively scintillation across the table and crown facets while preserving depth of color in the pavilion. Clarity is graded Very Slightly Included, evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal natural inclusions that do not interrupt the visual clarity of the stone, and the polish is excellent, which enhances facet definition and contrast. The sapphire originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and the stone has received no enhancement, offering natural color saturation and authentic material properties that are prized by connoisseurs and collectors.

The bi color nature of this Ceylon sapphire is emphasized by the mixed brilliant faceting, which is calibrated to present discrete color zones as harmonious planes rather than abrupt patches. On the crown, a dominant table facet sits within well proportioned star and bezel facets that transition into a crown of triangular and kite facets, producing high dispersion and controlled white light return. The pavilion features a sequence of modified mains designed to preserve a deep tone and to promote internal reflection of the cooler secondary hue. Intense color saturation is a primary characteristic, enabling the stone to read richly both face up and through the pavilion, while the mixed brilliant cut optimizes contrast through precise facet angles and a well finished girdle. The result is a gemstone that reveals layered color, optical depth, and lively brilliance under varied lighting.

The mounting takes inspiration from both organic forms and refined architectural motifs, translating vine like flow into a structural silhouette that echoes classical column details. The center sapphire is secured in a full bezel that provides continuous edge protection and a clean profile, while the gallery incorporates open relief to maintain light entry and reduce weight without compromising stability. Accenting the shoulders are white round natural diamonds, two at approximately 0.06 carats and two at approximately 0.03 carats, selection based on size and proportion to the oval center. All diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included, in ranges VS1 to VS2, with a color grade of F, ensuring bright, near colorless side stones that interact with the yellow gold to produce vivid flashes of white light. The smaller diamonds are integrated into the shoulder motif using low profile settings that are either bead set or flush set depending on position, maintaining planar continuity and a tactile smoothness that suits daily wear.

Craftsmanship is executed in 14K yellow gold, chosen for its warm counterpoint to the bi color sapphire and for its robust mechanical properties which support fine engraving and secure stone seats. The piece is realized through a combination of digital modeling and traditional hand finishing, allowing precise control of facet alignment and setting tolerances, followed by hand polishing to an optical mirror finish on all exterior surfaces. The bezel wall thickness and seat geometry are calculated to distribute mechanical loads while enabling regular maintenance and repolishing, and the gallery design facilitates cleaning access without compromising bezel integrity. Final quality control by The Natural Sapphire Company includes verification of gem identity, measurements, proportions and polish, assessment of diamond matching for color and clarity, and mechanical inspection for stone security and overall fit. The result is a ring that balances aesthetics and engineering, offering a wearable jewel with considered faceting, calibrated color presentation, and enduring construction.
