Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 3.11 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a remarkable C.Dunaigre certified Blue Cornflower sapphire, weighing 3.11 carats, cushion shape, mixed brilliant cut, dimensions 8.34 x 7.21 x 5.56 mm, vivid color saturation, eye clean clarity as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. The stone is heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves color without compromising the permanence of the gem, and the sapphire is traced to Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classical source renowned for producing the most desirable cornflower blue tones. Certification by C.Dunaigre provides independent verification of the gem character, the stated origin, and the disclosed enhancement, which is crucial for the educated buyer who values transparency and documented provenance. When assessed against the primary value factors of color, clarity, carat weight, cut, and origin, this sapphire demonstrates top tier color and clarity for its weight class, which is a powerful determinant of market desirability and long term value.

From a gemological perspective the mixed brilliant cushion cut is chosen to balance optical performance and face up color, combining step facets that enhance depth of tone with brilliant facets that return lively scintillation, a combination that allows rich cornflower blue to remain vivid under varied lighting. The dimensions and pavilion depth create pleasing proportions on the finger, giving the stone an impressive presence without overwhelming wearability. Eye clean clarity at this size is uncommon, and the excellent polish ensures optimal light performance, minimizing surface distortion and maximizing brilliance. Heat treatment here is fully disclosed, it is a conventional treatment for sapphires that can intensify saturation and reduce the visibility of minor inclusions, and because the stone is still eye clean the treatment has been applied without over reliance on masking internal features, which is important for long term assessment of rarity and aesthetic quality.

Flanking the center sapphire are white cushion shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.80 carats total, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of E, a near colorless grade that provides clean, bright contrast to the vivid blue center. Cushion diamonds echo the central cushion sapphire shape, creating visual harmony, while the high clarity and E color ensure that the side stones read as bright and color free next to the sapphire, supporting the overall face up impact rather than competing with it. The entire composition is set in 14K white gold, a metal choice that offers both durability and a cool, reflective backdrop that accentuates blue saturation, and the open gallery and carefully articulated prong work allow light access to both the center sapphire and the side diamonds, which optimizes brilliance and makes the ring comfortable for daily wear. Craftsmanship at every junction from secure setting to symmetrical stone placement reflects the standards of The Natural Sapphire Company, and the construction supports both beauty and longevity.

Beyond the technical merits this ring tells a story of commitment, each gem chosen not only for its market grade but for its symbolic resonance, cornflower blue sapphires have a long association with sincerity, devotion, and steadfastness, qualities that align naturally with the intention behind an engagement or promise ring. Presented at the moment of proposal the rich, vivid blue will register as a deliberate choice, conveying that thought was given to provenance, grading, and enduring beauty, a language of consideration that is palpable to an educated recipient. Over time the ring becomes an heirloom, the combination of a well documented Ceylon sapphire and high grade diamonds in 14K white gold preserves both monetary and sentimental value, and the included certification from C.Dunaigre and The Natural Sapphire Company reinforces the story for future generations. For buyers who value transparency, documented origin, and lasting aesthetics, this ring is an articulate symbol of commitment, an object that communicates devotion through both gemological quality and mindful provenance, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is available to provide additional information on certification, custom engraving, and lifelong care options to ensure this ring remains a meaningful and beautiful testament to a shared promise.
