Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 2.62 Ct., Platinum 950

Deep beneath the ancient soils of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, where monsoon rivers once carved channels through crystalline rock, this sapphire began its long slow story. It formed over millions of years as aluminum and trace elements met under enormous heat and pressure, and when it finally emerged it carried within it the quiet geography of its birthplace, pockets of light and the memory of the earth that shaped it. Our team at The Natural Sapphire Company follows this journey from the moment the rough is brought from artisanal pits to local sorting houses, where seasoned eyes select only the most promising material. The selected rough then travels to our cutting studio, where the stone is examined in natural light, its internal structure mapped, and a cutting plan is drawn that seeks to honor the stone rather than impose upon it, the result being a transparent cushion shape sapphire weighing 2.62 carats, with dimensions of 8.01 by 7.96 by 4.67 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, vivid color saturation, and an honest clarity rated slightly included when viewed at eye level.

The true voice of this sapphire emerges through the precision of its facets, each face planned to catch light and to return it as pure blue fire. The mixed brilliant cut combines the depth and scintillation of a brilliant arrangement with the soft, classic outline of a cushion shape. Our master cutters adjust each crown angle and pavilion plane to the stone geometry, balancing light leakage against color concentration, so that the vivid saturation deepens without losing liveliness. The polish is excellent, a mirror finish that allows internal flash to travel unimpeded to the surface, and the careful symmetry of the cut minimizes parallax, so that the eye sees a consistent, living blue from many angles. The sapphire is heat treated to enhance its color and clarity in a stable and traditional way, a treatment that is disclosed and consistent with best practices, and the cut work respects this enhancement, conserving zones of color and unfolding them in broad, luminous facets that speak both of geology and of human skill.

Flanking the blue heart of the ring are white trillion shaped natural diamonds, chosen for their clean, bright contribution to the composition. These side stones total approximately 0.50 carats, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, graded VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of I, providing a cool white contrast that frames and lifts the sapphire. The trillions are cut with sharp, precise facets that direct light into the sapphire while also offering their own scintillating counterpoint, their triangular geometry creating a visual arrow that focuses attention on the center. Each diamond is matched by hand for proportion and fire, and each is set to exacting tolerances in the 18K white gold mount, which is crafted to hold the stones securely while exposing the maximum pavilion for light return. The setting architecture is deliberately open, allowing light to enter from beneath and to animate every facet, while the prongs are shaped to protect corners and to keep the balance of the piece elegant and unobtrusive.

This ring is the convergence of natural history and careful human intention, a wearable chapter in the story of a Ceylon sapphire. From the mine to the bench, from the mapping of inclusions to the final polish, every step was guided by a desire to reveal the stone at its best. The Natural Sapphire Company brings that commitment to you, offering not simply a jewel, but an object that holds origin, craft, and time within its facets. The result is a ring that reads both as a bold statement of blue, and as a finely graduated study in light and proportion, meant to be worn, to be touched, and to become part of a new history. If you appreciate the precise geometry of excellent faceting paired with natural, vivid color, this sapphire and its companion diamonds will reward daily viewing and lifetime admiration.
