Floral Blue Sapphire Ring 1.49 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring features a transparent 1.49 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, measuring 8.05 x 5.44 x 3.70 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and table brightness. The stone presents a medium intense color saturation typical of fine Ceylon material, combined with an excellent polish that enhances light return across the pavilion and crown facets. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves color uniformity while preserving natural clarity. The mounting is fully executed in 14 karat yellow gold, where the warm metal tone complements the stone’s vivid blue and maintains a classic, restrained profile. This description is provided by The Natural Sapphire Company, reflecting documented gem characteristics and finishing details.

Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a designation that indicates inclusions are present but minimal and do not materially interfere with transparency or overall visual appeal in normal viewing conditions. When compared to other high end sapphire rings on the market, this stone sits at the upper end of the clarity spectrum for colored sapphires of comparable color and origin, where an expectation of eye clean material is common but natural inclusions are often still observed. High quality Ceylon sapphires frequently show fine silk or pinpoint inclusions and occasional color zoning due to their geologic formation, and a very slightly included grade reflects better than average transparency for that class. Relative to high end diamond rings, colored stones are assessed with different clarity thresholds, and a very slightly included sapphire often appears more visually pristine than a similarly graded diamond would, owing to the role of color and cut in masking or emphasizing internal features.

The mixed brilliant cushion cut and excellent polish work together to deliver lively brilliance and an even face up, while the medium intense saturation gives the stone presence without overpowering the setting. The 14 karat yellow gold mounting is designed to provide secure prong support and unobstructed light entry, allowing the sapphire’s natural color and clarity to be appreciated directly. For clients seeking a balance of notable color, superior clarity for its class, and traditional metal choice, this sapphire ring represents a technically refined option with documented provenance and professional finishing.
