Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 8.37 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers an 8.37 carat cushion shape Blue sapphire, GRS certified, with dimensions 13.02 x 10.71 x 6.22 mm, a mixed brilliant cut and a clarity described as eye clean as evaluated at eye level. The mixed brilliant faceting strategy combines larger crown facets with a brilliant style pavilion, producing broad color flashes and strong scintillation, which are especially effective in corundum to showcase vivid color saturation. The pavilion depth at 6.22 mm maintains sufficient material to concentrate the Ceylon Sri Lanka blue, while the excellent polish preserves crisp facet junctions, allowing light to refract cleanly through the stone. Heat treatment is disclosed, a standard and stable enhancement that intensifies the natural Ceylon hue without compromising structural integrity. The setting employed here is a low bezel for the center stone with an open back and a raised scalloped platform, a configuration that secures the girdle, minimizes light leakage at the edges and simultaneously permits pavilion light return through the open gallery. The result is an apparent increase in color saturation and a perception of improved clarity, because the bezel frames the table and concentrates the viewer focus on the even, vivid blue while the open back lets transmitted light reinforce internal color, rather than extinguish it.

Surrounding the sapphire is a precision executed halo of white round shaped lab grown diamonds, approximately 2.38 carats total, clarity range Very Slightly Included VS1 and VS2, color grade F. These diamonds are calibrated and set with uniform crown height and girdle orientation to form a continuous ring of white brilliancy, their F color creating a neutral white contrast that sharpens the blue center by increasing local contrast and perceived saturation. The diamonds are set into 14K yellow gold, the warm metal tone further enhancing the sapphire by adding a complementary backdrop that subtly shifts the eye perception towards a richer, more vivid blue. Craftsmanship details include careful hand setting, consistent seat depths for the halo stones, a scalloped bezel profile for visual continuity, and a fully finished open gallery to maximize light dynamics. This design and execution reflect The Natural Sapphire Company approach to balancing security and optics, the result being a ring where setting and stone operate as a single optical system, enhancing color, optimizing light return and maintaining the sapphire clarity to expert standards.
