Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 5.62 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a rare C.Dunaigre certified Vivid Blue Royal Blue 5.62 carat asscher octagon shape blue sapphire, and the setting was designed to amplify every nuance of its color and clarity. The asscher cut presents broad step facets and a large open table, and the low octagonal bezel combined with a finely cut diamond halo focuses light into the pavilion so the vivid Ceylon blue appears deeper and purer than in ordinary mounts. Surrounding white round natural diamonds offer a bright, neutral contrast, while the 14K white gold reflects white light back through the stone, enhancing perceived transparency and making the eye clean clarity grade read as exceptionally clean at normal viewing distances. The open filigree gallery under the pavilion allows light to enter from the sides and bottom, increasing sparkle and preventing the flat, lifeless appearance that heavier, fully closed settings often produce.

Compared to other market options, this ring balances bold color saturation and optical performance in a way few can match. Many sapphires of this weight and hue are set in thick bezels or dark metals that mute the blue, or they sit in halos that crowd the shoulders and obscure the asscher facet pattern. Our design keeps the stone visually prominent, using a precise bezel height and minimal profile prongs that secure the gem without blocking table light. The accompanying white diamonds, totaling approximately 0.474 carats in two groups, are VS clarity and color grade F to G, chosen to maximize scintillation without introducing warmth that could compete with the sapphire. Heat treated for color stability, this Ceylon sapphire combines a natural, vivid hue with excellent polish, a combination that rarely appears at this size and price point when compared to commercially mass produced pieces.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this ring as a superior choice for collectors and those seeking a statement piece with enduring value. The certified provenance, substantial 5.62 carat asscher cut, and considered setting create a visual signature that outperforms simpler settings, while the use of 14K white gold provides long term durability with a bright white backdrop that complements the blue. If you compare clarity, color saturation, and the way light is managed, this ring stands above many alternatives, offering both the drama of a royal blue sapphire and the refinement of a precision setting that celebrates the stone rather than concealing it.
