Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 2.12 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent, cushion shape blue sapphire weighing 2.12 carats, measuring 8.74 by 6.63 by 4.01 millimeters, and finished with a mixed brilliant cut. The sapphire displays vivid color saturation, an eye clean clarity grade when viewed at eye level, and an excellent polish that optimizes light return and surface luster. The stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies natural color while preserving the gem’s integrity. Surrounding the sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.56 carats, graded VS1 and VS2 for clarity and F for color, selected to provide bright contrast and enhance perceived depth of the blue center. The entire composition is set in 18 karat white gold, a metal choice that balances durability with a neutral, reflective backdrop that enhances the sapphire’s color. The Natural Sapphire Company has matched gem proportions, cut, and supporting diamonds to ensure the center stone’s dimensions and mixed brilliant faceting yield balanced brilliance and presence on the finger.

The provenance of this sapphire, originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, contributes a distinct layer of value that extends beyond the gem’s measurable characteristics. Ceylon sapphires have a documented history in international gem markets and royal collections, with generations of lapidary tradition and established supply chains that inform collector and connoisseur preference for their particular hues and crystal qualities. That historical context, combined with the stone’s vivid saturation and eye clean clarity, increases both aesthetic desirability and long term appeal. Transparency about the heat treatment and the inclusion of well-matched F color, VS clarity diamonds reflect The Natural Sapphire Company’s commitment to documented sourcing and honest disclosure, attributes that preserve market confidence. Together, the sapphire’s origin story, technical quality, and considered setting in 18K white gold create a ring that reads as both a refined piece of jewelry and a thoughtfully composed heirloom, offering tangible visual impact and enduring provenance.
