Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 3.16 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a transparent 3.16 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, dimensions 9.53 x 7.64 x 4.59 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that pairs a brilliant crown with a faceted pavilion to optimize light return and preserve the cushion outline, the mixed brilliant cut yields dynamic internal reflections and a balanced scintillation pattern, clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal to the unaided eye and do not interrupt light transmission, color shows dark saturation with a deep Ceylon blue characteristic of Sri Lankan material, enhancement by controlled heat treatment is disclosed, and polish is excellent which sharpens facet junctions and improves contrast across the crown and pavilion planes, the sapphire origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source noted for velvety to vivid blue tones, the stone is set on elevated four prongs that allow maximum pavilion exposure and light ingress, the mounting is crafted in 18K white gold to provide a cool, reflective backdrop that accentuates blue saturation and prevents warm metal bleed, shoulder pavage features white round natural diamonds, weights approximately 0.12 carat, 0.16 carat, 0.12 carat, and 0.24 carat, each diamond graded clarity VS and color F G, the combined accent weight is approximately 0.64 carat, diamonds are precision matched for cut and brightness and are bead set in graduated rows along the shoulders to produce continuous white light reflection that frames the center sapphire without overpowering it.

The optical behavior of the sapphire and the linked diamond arrangement is intentionally designed to convey enduring affinity, the mixed brilliant faceting creates recurring flashes that radiate from the table and refract back through the crown, these recurring flashes function as a technical metaphor for permanence, each reflection is like a repeated promise, the deep Ceylon hue anchors the design, representing stability and depth of feeling, the excellent polish and precise faceting sustain consistent return of light over time, the pavage diamonds act as complementary engines of white brilliance, their F G color and VS clarity ensure neutral white flashes that outline the sapphire and amplify its blue through contrast, the choice of 18K white gold provides long term durability and a neutral optical field that lets the sapphire govern color narrative, at The Natural Sapphire Company this design and execution emphasize stone first principles, cut integrity, and setting symmetry so that the gemstone s brilliance becomes a technical expression of eternal love.
