Solitaire Bi Color Sapphire Ring 1.37 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.37 carat pear shape bi color sapphire, measuring 8.95 x 6.20 x 3.25 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant configuration to optimize both scintillation and color saturation. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant style crown, calibrated to disperse light across the pear silhouette, with pavilion faceting proportioned for depth and return, producing an intense play of blue and violet tones that is characteristic of high quality African sapphires. The stone shows an evaluated clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level, meaning minor crystal or feather inclusions that do not interrupt overall transparency and that contribute to the gemological individuality without compromising light performance. The polish is rated excellent, each facet meeting smoothly at precise junctions to maximize facet contrast and allow the bi color zoning to read distinctly from different viewing angles, a property that enhances the gem s pleochroic behavior under directional light.

The mounting is executed entirely in 18K white gold and employs a restrained three prong configuration with a V style prong securing the pointed end of the pear and twin shoulder prongs at the rounded apex, the gallery engineered to allow light ingress while protecting the pavilion. The slim band flows into gently tapered, almost cathedral shoulders which create a low to medium profile, balancing protection with an airy presentation of the sapphire, and the internal surfaces are hand finished to reduce metal visibility when viewed through the gem. This approach recalls the structural clarity of the late 19th century Tiffany solitaire in its emphasis on elevating a single center stone, while the open basket and delicate shoulders echo elements of Edwardian and Belle Epoque pierced galleries that favored lightness and refined metalwork. The result is a modern solitaire that borrows the best proportions of historical mounts to both secure and showcase the mixed cut pear, executed with precise hand setting and final polishing typical of The Natural Sapphire Company craftsmanship, ensuring the optical qualities of the African bi color sapphire are presented with technical integrity and enduring wearability.
