Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 9.02 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring is centered by a transparent 9.02 carat asscher octagon blue sapphire, with precise dimensions of 10.56 x 10.56 x 8.46 mm, cut in a classical asscher faceting style. The asscher cut presents a series of concentric step facets on the crown and pavilion that generate the characteristic hall of mirrors effect, producing broad flashes of color and internal light play rather than pinpoint scintillation. The stone is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, exhibiting excellent polish and well aligned facet junctions that preserve crisp facet edges. Color is described as medium intense saturation, providing a vivid Ceylon tone that remains lively face up, and the sapphire has been heat treated to enhance its hue and transparency. The square outline with truncated corners emphasizes the geometric symmetry of the asscher cut, and the substantial pavilion depth contributes to the stone feeling larger in face up presence while maintaining structural integrity.

Flanking the center sapphire are white trillion shaped lab grown diamonds totalling approximately 0.40 carats, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F. The triangular profile of the trillion stones introduces contrasting scintillation and lively edge sparkle against the asscher steps, creating a complementary balance between flash and fire. The mounting is executed in platinum 950, utilizing a four prong setting to secure the center stone and precise bezel supported claws for the side diamonds, all finished with meticulous workmanship. The gallery incorporates openwork to allow light to enter the pavilion and to reduce overall weight without compromising strength. The band is engineered for comfortable daily wear, featuring a smoothly polished interior and a gently rounded comfort fit profile, with a moderate shank thickness that distributes pressure evenly across the finger. The high polish finish and carefully radiused edges ensure the band slides on easily and resists snagging, while the density and durability of platinum 950 provide long term stability for regular use. This piece embodies The Natural Sapphire Company approach to gemological precision and artisanal setting, combining a museum quality Ceylon asscher sapphire with technical design choices that optimize beauty and wearability.
