Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 4.06 Ct., 18K White Gold

The ring features a beautiful, transparent 4.06 carat cushion shape blue sapphire with the dimensions of 9.57 x 9.45 x 5.12 mm and a mixed brilliant cut. It has a clarity grade of very slightly included (evaluated at eye level), medium color saturation, and an excellent polish. The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Regarding gemstone grading, the clarity grade of very slightly included indicates that there are minor inclusions which can be observed at close range and are not visible to the naked eye, enhancing the gemstone's visual purity and sparkling appeal. The medium color saturation adds a vibrant yet balanced tone to the sapphire, ensuring it captures light beautifully and displays a rich hue that is neither too dark nor too faint. The polished surface contributes to the gemstone's brilliance by allowing maximum light reflection, which enhances its natural beauty and color.
The ring also features white round-shaped diamonds, weighing approximately 0.36 carats, with a clarity grade of VS1/VS2 and a color grade of F. The clarity grade VS1/VS2 signifies that these diamonds have very slight inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification, ensuring that they are virtually flawless to the naked eye. The color grade of F is near the top of the GIA's D-to-Z color scale, indicating that these diamonds are nearly colorless, providing a striking contrast that enhances the blue sapphire's vivid color.
The ring is entirely set in 14K white gold. The choice of white gold for the setting serves multiple purposes in enhancing the overall aesthetics of the ring. White gold provides a neutral yet lustrous backdrop that complements the blue sapphire's vibrant color, making the gemstone stand out prominently without any color interference. This metal setting also accentuates the sapphire’s transparency and brilliance by reflecting light onto the gemstone, thus enhancing its inherent clarity. By using a prong setting, the sapphire and diamonds are allowed maximum exposure to light from various angles, which amplifies their shine and sparkle.
The combination of a high-quality blue sapphire with carefully selected diamonds, all set in luxurious 14K white gold, makes this ring an exquisite piece of fine jewelry. The detailed attention to the gemstone's grading and the thoughtful setting in white gold ensures that the ring meets the high standards desirable to an educated buyer. This elegant design juxtaposes the vibrant color of the sapphire with the pristine brilliance of the diamonds, offering a timeless and sophisticated appeal. The origin of the sapphire, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest sapphires, adding to the ring's value and authenticity.
