Floral Blue Sapphire Ring 1.68 Ct., Platinum 950

This exquisite ring showcases a transparent 1.68 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, measuring 7.38 x 6.45 x 4.20 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and scintillation. The stone presents a medium color saturation that reveals the classic, velvety cornflower tones prized in Ceylon sapphires, while an excellent polish permits clean, lively reflections across each facet. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the gem reads as visually pristine to the wearer, yet retains the natural inclusion characteristics that confirm its genuine origin. Critically, this sapphire is untreated, with no enhancements, a rarity among fine sapphires and a quality that markedly elevates provenance and desirability. The gem is set in an elegant 18K white gold mounting, hand finished to a high shine that complements the cool blue hues and allows the cushion profile to sit with poised simplicity on the hand. Every aspect of the design is intended to frame the sapphire as a solitary, singular treasure, reserved for a select collector or someone seeking a truly authentic statement piece.

When compared to lab grown alternatives, this natural Ceylon sapphire offers attributes that go beyond mere chemical composition. Lab grown stones often achieve greater uniformity of color and near flawless clarity, qualities that appeal for their technical perfection, however that perfection can lack the fingerprint of natural formation, the subtle inclusions and growth patterns that tell a geological story millions of years in the making. An untreated, natural sapphire from Sri Lanka carries provenance, rarity of occurrence, and a market distinction that lab grown stones rarely match, particularly at this size and with such a combination of color, clarity and no enhancement. For discerning clients who value uniqueness, long term desirability, and the romance of a natural origin, this gem represents an elite opportunity. The Natural Sapphire Company sources and presents stones like this with transparency and care, offering not just a jewel, but an heirloom quality selection that places its owner in a small group privileged to possess an unaltered piece of nature.
