Solitaire Blue Sapphire Ring 1.62 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 1.62 carat emerald cut blue sapphire, measuring 6.80 by 5.53 by 4.29 mm, cut in the classical emerald style with parallel step facets and well defined truncated corners. The step faceting yields broad, planar facets on the crown and pavilion that emphasize the stone's vivid color saturation while preserving controlled light return, creating broad flashes rather than scintillation. Clarity is graded eye clean at eye level, indicating that no inclusions affect the visual integrity of the table view, and the excellent polish produces mirror like facet junctions that enhance the sapphire's depth and clarity. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, and originates from Tanzania, a provenance that contributes to its saturated blue character and natural zonal patterns. The combination of precise facet geometry, proportional depth, and a clean girdle results in a balanced optical performance, maintaining intensity of hue across the table without perceptible windowing.

The setting is entirely 14K white gold, executed with exacting bench work to complement the stone's geometry and maximize wearability. The sapphire is secured with four corner prongs positioned to protect the emerald cut corners while allowing an open gallery that permits light to enter the pavilion, improving color delivery and depth. The band is finished to a high polish with subtle tapering toward the head, providing both structural stability and visual focus on the center stone. Attention to prong symmetry, seat fit, and bezel clearance demonstrates the sort of meticulous hand finishing and quality control expected from The Natural Sapphire Company. Every junction has been refined to reduce metal shadowing against the stone, and the low profile gallery ensures the ring is comfortable for daily wear while retaining an engineered approach to light performance. For clients who value technical refinement and natural provenance, this piece presents a rare combination of an untreated Tanzanian sapphire, precise step cut faceting, eye clean clarity, and skilled 14K white gold craftsmanship, assembled to showcase the gem at its optical best.
