Floral Blue Sapphire Ring 4.48 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a GIA certified Blue 4.48 carat cushion sapphire, dimensions 10.54 by 7.85 by 6.01 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant pavilion style that pairs a brilliant crown with faceted pavilion facets to optimize both scintillation and color return. The stone’s length to width ratio of approximately 1.34 yields a gently elongated cushion profile, while the measured depth of 6.01 millimeters corresponds to an approximate depth percentage near 65 percent, a proportion that promotes strong light return without sacrificing face-up spread. The mixed brilliant faceting creates a network of small, high-angle crown facets for lively white light scintillation, combined with broader pavilion facets that enhance the gem’s vivid blue saturation and display dynamic flashes under movement. Clarity is graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which, together with excellent polish, produces an open, transparent appearance with minimal obstruction to light travel, and the documented heat treatment is a standard, stable enhancement that optimizes the stone’s intense blue hue while retaining natural origin characteristics recorded by the GIA.

The provenance of this sapphire, sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, is integral to the ring’s appeal and performance, Ceylon sapphires are historically prized for a particular balance of tone and saturation that reads as vivid yet lively on the hand, and the slightly cooler, bright blue signature of Sri Lankan material interacts exceptionally well with a warm 18K yellow gold mount to produce high contrast and visual depth. The setting is executed in fully hallmarked 18K yellow gold, crafted to secure the stone with minimal metal coverage to maximize the table exposure and allow the mixed brilliant cut to speak freely, while the internal proportions and polished finish of the mounting are calibrated to support daily wear without compromising the gem’s light dynamics. For the discerning buyer who values documented origin, cut geometry, and artisanal finishing, this stone and setting combination from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a technically refined example of Ceylon blue sapphire jewelry, and our team can provide the GIA documentation, exact setting specifications, and custom sizing to ensure the ring meets precise expectations.
