Floral Bi Color Sapphire Ring 1.49 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.49 carat round bi color sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka that immediately sets itself apart from the usual single tone stones on the market, the stone measures 6.71 x 6.71 x 4.52 mm and is cut in a mixed brilliant style to marry the scintillation of a brilliant with the depth of a pavilion cut. The sapphire shows a medium color saturation that produces an alluring play between violet and soft pink hues as it turns in the light, an effect that many competitors try to mimic with lower grade material or synthetic substitutes. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, giving this gem an eye clean appearance that rarefies the look without sacrificing natural origin. The stone has been heat treated, which is a standard and stable enhancement for Sri Lankan sapphires, and it benefits from an excellent polish that maximizes sparkle, this combination of natural Ceylon origin, thoughtful enhancement and top finishing creates a gem that stands above mass market pieces both in character and provenance.

What truly elevates how this sapphire presents itself is the setting, every detail of the 14K yellow gold mounting has been designed to amplify the stone rather than mask it. The head lifts the gem with a delicate crown of prongs that secure the table while creating generous apertures in the gallery, the openwork beneath the stone allows light to enter from below and reflect back through the crown facets, increasing brilliance and color saturation at every angle. The prongs are pared and rounded rather than bulky, so the pavilion receives an unobstructed path for light, and the slightly tapered shoulders draw the eye toward the center while maintaining a comfortable profile on the finger. Compared to bezel and heavy halo mountings that often mute a sapphires fire, this design keeps the gem airy and luminous, and the high polish on the band provides crisp contrast that makes the bi color hues pop like a spotlighted gem in a jewelers display. The balance between secure setting and optical openness is something many standard settings do not achieve, and it is a deliberate choice here to present the sapphire at its most vivid.

From a value perspective this ring is exceptional, the 1.49 carat weight in a round mixed brilliant cut offers a weight to face size ratio that appears larger and more alive than many stones of similar carat weight cut in shallower styles, the natural Ceylon origin and the eye clean clarity command a visual and investment premium that synthetic or heavily included alternatives cannot match. The use of 14K yellow gold is not only a classic aesthetic choice, it enhances the warm undertones that appear in the bi color sapphire and gives the piece a versatility that complements both modern and traditional wardrobes, compared with platinum or white gold settings this yellow gold ring highlights the purple and pink interplay for a richer presence. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in pairing provenance with craftsmanship, this ring exemplifies that philosophy, a responsibly sourced Ceylon sapphire, a stable and accepted heat treatment, and a hand finished setting that prioritizes light and security. If you are comparing options, consider how many rings offer this combination of natural origin, expert cutting, eye clean clarity, and a setting that is engineered to make the gemstone pop, this piece is designed to outperform ordinary solitaires while retaining timeless elegance and everyday wearability.
