Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 2.26 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a GIA certified, transparent blue sapphire weighing 2.26 carats, cushion shaped with mixed brilliant cutting, measuring 7.69 x 7.11 x 4.94 mm. The sapphire presents an intense color saturation that reads as a vivid, pure blue, with a clarity grade evaluated as eye clean at standard viewing distances, and an excellent polish that enhances light return and surface brilliance. The stone is natural and unenhanced, a characteristic confirmed by the GIA report, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with lively color and fine crystalline structure. The cushion outline and mixed brilliant faceting combine the softer, classic silhouette of a pillow shaped gem with scintillating faceted surfaces that yield strong internal fire and a lively face up presence, making the sapphire the visual and structural anchor of the design.

Surrounding the center sapphire, a halo and shoulder arrangement of white round natural diamonds complements and amplifies the blue center, with component diamond weights of approximately 0.27 carat, 0.39 carat, and 0.09 carat. All accent diamonds are graded VS for clarity and F G for color, assuring clean appearance and a high level of white light return against the white gold setting. The diamonds are precisely matched and set to create a uniform field of brilliance, with the halo forming a defined luminous border and the shoulders extending that brightness along the band. The total accent diamond weight is approximately 0.75 carat, and each stone is individually selected and placed to preserve symmetry and to provide durable security in regular wear. The arrangement emphasizes a balanced relationship between the sapphire and the diamonds, enhancing perceived size and presence while maintaining proportion and refinement.

The mounting and finish articulate measured craftsmanship and refined geometry, with the entire assembly crafted in 18K white gold that provides a cool, reflective backdrop for both the blue sapphire and the white diamonds. The prong work that secures the sapphire is engineered to both display and protect the pavilion and crown, while the halo and pavé style shoulders are executed to preserve consistent line and profile. The metal receives a high polish that complements the excellent polish of the sapphire and the cut quality of the diamonds, producing cohesive light performance across the piece. Viewing the ring from profile, the gallery reveals considered structural support and open spaces that allow light to enter the pavilion, increasing scintillation and enhancing the dynamic interplay of color and white light. The proportions of the band and head are balanced to offer day to day comfort and a confident wrist presence without undue bulk.

This ring is presented as a thoughtful embodiment of lasting value and personal continuity, designed to become a timeless treasure for the wearer. The combination of a GIA certified, unenhanced Ceylon sapphire with well matched, finely graded white diamonds set in 18K white gold results in an object that is suitable for significant life milestones and for passing between generations with care. Provenance and certification accompany the gem, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the documented origin and grading that support long term appreciation and stewardship. Routine care recommendations include periodic professional inspection of settings and gentle cleaning to maintain maximum brilliance, and consideration of insurance for protection against loss or damage. For clients seeking a piece that balances classic form with contemporary precision, the ring offers enduring aesthetics, sound gemological credentials, and the durable construction necessary to serve as a cherished heirloom.
