Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 4.48 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the heart of Sri Lanka to a master jeweler s bench, this sapphire tells a story that begins with ancient geology and generations of skilled hands. Mined in the storied gravels of Ceylon, the rough crystal spent its first life under tropical skies, slowly bearing the trace elements that give Ceylon sapphires their beloved electric blue. At The Natural Sapphire Company we selected this particular stone for its rare combination of size and clarity. The gem is a GIA certified Blue 4.48 carat cushion shape sapphire, measuring 10.54 by 7.85 by 6.01 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and depth. It is transparent and eye clean at eye level, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish that brings a velvety brilliance to the surface. The sapphire has been heat treated, a responsible enhancement that stabilizes and enriches the blue, and this treatment is disclosed and documented with the same transparency that guides our sourcing, grading, and care. The certification and provenance from Ceylon add historical context and market confidence, creating both emotional resonance and tangible value.

Set in warm 18K yellow gold, the ring pairs the central sapphire with delicate white round natural diamonds that frame and elevate the center stone. The accent diamonds weigh approximately 0.12 carats, 0.06 carats, and 0.051 carats respectively, all graded VS for clarity and F G for color, each hand set to catch light and guide the eye to the sapphire s heart. The result is a composition that balances majestic color with refined brilliance, the yellow gold providing a complementary halo that enhances the sapphire s blue without overwhelming it. Every curve of the shank and every prong was finished by hand to preserve the stone s presence and ensure lasting wear. This ring is more than an adornment, it is a conversation across time, from Ceylon s creek beds to the jeweler s tools, a piece that carries proven origin, certified quality, and thoughtful design. With The Natural Sapphire Company you receive not only a stunning gem, but the story and stewardship behind it, a legacy ready to be worn and passed on.
