Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 2.34 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.34 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, measuring 9.26 by 7.64 by 3.37 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance table brilliance with pavilion sparkle. The gem is eye clean at normal viewing distance, showing no inclusions visible to the unaided eye, and exhibits intense color saturation with an excellent polish, characteristics that signal both visual potency and durable finish. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and untreated, no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historic source celebrated for its richly saturated blue sapphires that combine depth of color with lively, velvety tones. For the informed buyer, an untreated Ceylon sapphire of this size, cut quality, and eye-clean clarity represents a notably rarer and more valuable offering than heat-treated material, as the absence of enhancement preserves the stone s natural formation and market premium. The mixed brilliant cushion cut and the measured proportions, including the 3.37 millimeter depth, have been selected to maximize light return while preserving the stone s vivid hue, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and lasting luster.

The setting complements and secures the center stone with approximately 0.494 carats of white round natural diamonds placed along the shoulders and gallery, comprised of individual stones of approximately 0.216, 0.21, and 0.068 carats, each graded VS in clarity and F to G in color, offering bright contrast without overpowering the sapphire. The ring is crafted entirely in 14K yellow gold, chosen to warm and enhance the sapphire s blue, and finished to conserve both comfort and long term wearability. At The Natural Sapphire Company we place strong emphasis on ethical sourcing and traceability, working with Sri Lankan partners committed to transparent supply chains, low impact mining practices, and fair labor standards, and sourcing diamonds in accordance with recognized responsible sourcing measures including compliance with the Kimberley Process. We also prioritize recycling and responsible procurement for precious metals where available. For buyers who value provenance as much as aesthetics, this ring delivers a combination of gemological integrity, thoughtful design, and documented sourcing, and we provide detailed gem information and guidance to support confident purchasing decisions.
