Accent Stones Bi Color Sapphire Ring 0.54 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 0.54 carat round bi color sapphire, precisely measured at 4.75 by 4.74 by 3.40 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to optimize both scintillation and color saturation. The mixed brilliant faceting places a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown to maximize face up brilliance, combined with a controlled pavilion geometry that deepens color and enhances light return, producing a lively interplay between dispersion and body color. The stone has been evaluated as eye clean at standard viewing distance, indicating no inclusions visible to the unaided eye, and it displays intense color saturation with a warm golden to saffron hue characteristic of fine Montana sapphires. The pavilion depth of 3.40 millimeters yields a depth ratio of approximately 71.6 percent relative to the average diameter, a proportion that intensifies the face up color and presence of the stone, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and optimal light performance. The sapphire has been heat treated to stabilize and enhance its color and clarity, a common and widely accepted enhancement for sapphires, and its origin from Montana contributes to its distinctive tonal range and crystal habit.

Complementing the sapphire are white pear shaped natural diamonds, with an approximate combined weight of 0.10 carats, graded Very Slightly Included in clarity across VS1 and VS2, and holding a color grade of E for minimal body color and maximum contrast against the sapphire. The pear faceting geometry of these accent diamonds is selected to introduce targeted brilliance and fire at the shoulder of the ring, creating a controlled asymmetry that draws the eye toward the central sapphire while providing crisp white light reflection to balance the warm sapphire tones. Each diamond is cut and calibrated to sit flush with the sapphire axis, allowing the meeting of pavilion and crown facets to create complementary light dynamics, and each is hand set in a secure prong configuration designed to minimize metal obstruction, and maximize both light return and protection. The overall gem configuration emphasizes proportion, with the smaller total diamond weight serving as a refined foil to the vivid sapphire, and the combination of excellent polish on all stones and exacting setting tolerances results in a cohesive optical presentation.

The mounting and band are executed entirely in solid 14K white gold, selected for its balance of precious metal purity, mechanical strength, and long term wearability. Fourteen karat gold contains 58.5 percent gold by weight, alloyed with selected metals to increase hardness and tensile strength relative to higher karat alloys, and this compositional choice yields a shank and prong structure that resists deformation, maintains form through daily stresses, and responds predictably to repair or resizing when needed. The shank is engineered with a rounded profile and uniform wall thickness to distribute stress and reduce the likelihood of fatigue at the shoulders, and the prongs that secure the sapphire and diamonds are robustly constructed to protect the girdles and culets while preserving optimal light entry. At The Natural Sapphire Company, each 14K white gold mount undergoes meticulous finishing to achieve a high polish that resists minor abrasions, and we recommend routine professional inspection and maintenance to preserve optimum settings and surface finish, including repolishing and tightening of prongs as required. The result is a jewel that combines the gemological distinction of a Montana bi color sapphire and fine E color diamonds, with the durable, serviceable metal engineering appropriate for long term, everyday wear.
