Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 2.59 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent, Other certified Intense Blue cushion shape sapphire weighing 2.59 carat, with exact dimensions 8.70 x 6.69 x 4.38 mm, and a mixed brilliant cut that combines the broad, light reflecting facets of a cushion outline with the scintillating return typical of brilliant faceting. The mixed brilliant pavilion is calibrated to enhance face up color while maintaining strong internal light return, producing lively scintillation and a pleasing play between blue saturation and brilliance. Color saturation is described as medium intense, an even distribution of vivid cornflower to royal blue tones that is consistent across the table and crown facets, and the stone is transparent and clean to the eye, graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The polish on the sapphire is excellent, indicating sharp facet junctions and a clean facet finish that maximizes both luster and optical performance. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with a characteristic, lively blue hue, and the sapphire has no enhancement, preserving natural material properties and crystal integrity.

Complementing the centre sapphire are white round shaped, natural diamonds placed as a halo and along the shoulders, specified as approximately 0.594 carat total weight, clarity graded VS, color grade F and G, and an additional grouping of white round shaped, natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.378 carat total, also clarity VS and color grade F and G. The diamonds are matched for balance of face up brightness and near colorless appearance, selected to create a bright, white contrast that frames the blue sapphire without overpowering it. The setting treatment uses close set halo diamonds to outline the cushion silhouette, with pavé or bead set accents continuing down a split shoulder to maintain visual flow and structural balance. Precision hand setting and consistent seat depth are used to ensure each diamond is secured and aligned, and the mixed setting types are chosen to optimize both optical interplay and long term retention.

The ring is fully fabricated and set in 18K white gold, providing a durable and noble foundation for the sapphire and diamond ensemble, and the mounting is engineered for security while preserving light performance. The centre stone is held by well proportioned prongs that are burnished and rounded at the tips to reduce vulnerability to catching, while the prong shoulders are reinforced into the gallery and the split shank is tied into a solid undergallery to distribute tensile loads and prevent flex. The halo and pavé diamonds are set with precise bead and bead and prong techniques that minimize exposure while maintaining maximum brilliance, and the seat under the center stone is constructed so the pavilion is supported without impeding the stones optical interaction with light. From a maintenance perspective the 18K white gold construction offers long term stability and the setting geometry permits routine inspection and retipping if required. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document the gemstone origin and enhancement status and stand behind the craftsmanship, offering secure settings designed to provide peace of mind while preserving the technical characteristics that discerning buyers appreciate.
