Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 3.04 Ct., 14K White Gold

The deep blue at the heart of this ring is a 3.04 carat C.Dunaigre certified Vivid Blue sapphire, asscher octagon in shape, measuring 8.09 by 7.96 by 5.03 mm, a stone that embodies the long and storied history of Ceylon sapphires. Sri Lanka has been a source of the world s most admired sapphires for centuries, stones that once graced royal signet rings and ceremonial regalia, and this gem carries that same sense of provenance and reverence. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, the sapphire reveals a clarity and depth that reward close inspection. The sapphire has been heat treated, a time honored practice in which responsible treatment is used to awaken the color that nature has prepared, and the asscher cut magnifies the gem s internal architecture. The asscher cut recalls the geometric elegance of early twentieth century design, the straight lines and stepped facets producing a hall of light that moves with the smallest motion, and the C.Dunaigre certification documents the gem s origin and qualities for future generations.

Set in 950 platinum, the ring is engineered with a balance of strength and refinement that will endure as a cherished heirloom. A refined halo of white round natural diamonds frames the center stone, their cool white fire providing an ideal foil to the vivid blue of the sapphire. The halo and accent collection include diamonds totaling approximately 0.345 carats, each graded VS for clarity and F G for color, together with smaller white round diamonds weighing approximately 0.03 carats that grace the shoulders and profile. These diamonds are selected for their brightness and harmony so that the overall composition remains elegant and balanced rather than busy. The platinum mounting is worked with meticulous finishing, the gallery sculpted to allow light to enter the lower facets of the asscher cut and the setting engineered so the stones sit with architectural precision. The result is a ring whose proportions and internal sightlines create a serene and luminous presentation, comfortable enough for daily wear and durable enough to be handed down.

When examined alongside pieces from the world s great maisons, the craftsmanship of this ring is readily comparable, rivaling the meticulous standards associated with Cartier, Van Cleef and Arpels, and Tiffany. The precision of the asscher cut placement, the uniform spacing and tension of the pave, and the crispness of the finished edges display the same departmental discipline and obsessive eye for detail that define high jewelry. At the same time The Natural Sapphire Company brings a focused expertise in selecting and matching fine sapphires, a connoisseur s approach that places authenticity and provenance at the center of the creation. The hand finishing beneath the gallery, the symmetry of the octagonal silhouette, and the careful matching of diamond tone to sapphire saturation all speak to a level of execution that collectors admire. This is craftsmanship that honors classic forms while benefiting from contemporary techniques, producing a piece that reads as both museum quality and intimate keepsake.

This ring is intended to be more than a fashionable purchase, it is an object destined to become a family treasure, a conversation piece whose story will be told with generations of wear. The vivid Ceylon sapphire, the selection of VS clarity white diamonds, and the enduring 950 platinum setting combine to form a composition that is timeless, one that resonates with the history of gem cutting and the enduring appeal of blue sapphires. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the piece with documentation and service, and we invite you to view the ring in person to appreciate how the depth of the blue changes under real light.
