Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 2.06 Ct., 14K White Gold

The ring features a beautiful, transparent 2.06 carat asscher-octagon shape blue sapphire with the dimensions of 7.88 x 7.28 x 3.88 mm and an asscher cut. The asscher cut, known for its understated elegance, enhances the clarity and color of the sapphire by optimizing the way light interacts with the stone. Unlike the more common round brilliant cuts, the asscher cut’s step facets create a hall-of-mirrors effect, producing a more subdued but equally captivating sparkle. Its octagonal shape and concentric facets distinguish it from other cuts, such as the emerald or cushion cuts, giving it a unique appeal that attracts connoisseurs and collectors alike.
This sapphire has a clarity grade of eye clean, meaning there are no visible inclusions when the stone is examined at eye level. This clarity grade is particularly desirable for asscher cuts, as their large open facets and deep pavilion can make inclusions more noticeable. The medium light color saturation gives the sapphire a soft, calming blue hue, balancing vibrant color intensity with a gentle luminosity that enhances its beauty without being overwhelming. The excellent polish additionally contributes to the stone's exceptional brilliance and ensures that its facets are crisp and well-defined.
The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon (Sri Lanka), a region renowned for producing sapphires with superior quality and vivid colors. Ceylon sapphires are highly prized in the gemstone market for their exceptional clarity and brilliance.
Complementing the blue sapphire, the ring also features white round shaped diamonds, weighing approximately 0.40 carats in total. These diamonds have a clarity grade of VS1/VS2, indicating that they contain very slight inclusions that are difficult to detect even under 10x magnification. Their color grade of F places them in the top tier of near-colorless diamonds, ensuring they exhibit a bright, clear sparkle that enhances the overall aesthetic of the ring.
The ring is entirely set in 14K white gold, which provides a modern and elegant setting that accentuates the brilliance of both the sapphire and the diamonds. The cool tones of the white gold complement the blue of the sapphire and the icy brilliance of the diamonds, creating a cohesive and refined look. The craftsmanship involved in setting the stones is meticulous, ensuring that each gem is securely held in place while maximizing its light performance and visual impact.
In comparison to other cuts and styles, the asscher cut sapphire in this ring presents a sophisticated alternative to the popular round or princess cuts. While round and princess cuts are known for their dazzling brilliance and fire, the asscher cut offers a more understated elegance with its step-cut faceting and distinctive shape. The combination of an asscher cut sapphire with high-quality diamonds and 14K white gold setting makes this ring an exquisite piece of jewelry, designed to appeal to those with an appreciation for fine details and exceptional craftsmanship.
