Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 3.16 Ct., Platinum 950

A sublime example of nature refined by thoughtful skill, this ring centers a transparent 3.16 carat cushion shape blue sapphire that needs nothing more than a gentle enhancement to reveal its full expression. Measuring 9.53 by 7.64 by 4.59 millimeters and fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, the gem displays a rich, dark color saturation and an excellent polish that captures and returns light with a velvety intensity. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, the stone’s internal character is discreet, a mark of authenticity rather than imperfection, and its single known enhancement, careful heat treatment, has been applied with restraint to deepen tone and improve clarity without masking the gem’s inherent personality. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire speaks of provenance and the storied geology of a celebrated origin, a deep blue that feels both rare and inevitable, a jewel that commands attention while remaining elegantly reserved.

Framing this exceptional center is a delicate arrangement of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.173 carats, each graded clarity VS and color grade between F and G, chosen to complement rather than compete, to heighten the sapphire’s presence with measured brilliance. The entire composition is set in platinum 950, a metal whose cool, enduring strength underscores the gem’s color and secures it with a refined sensibility. Crafted with the thoughtful restraint that defines haute jewellery, the setting allows the sapphire to be seen from every angle, the excellent polish of the gem and metal working in concert to present a look that is both modern and timeless. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this ring is more than an adornment, it is a declaration of cultivated taste and considered accomplishment, a piece for the collector who values authenticity over artifice. Its natural beauty requires only minimal enhancement, and in that quiet confidence it becomes a lasting testament to elegance, an object to be treasured and worn as an unmistakable sign of refined status.
