Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 1.64 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent Other certified Vivid Blue sapphire weighing 1.64 carat, cut in a classic emerald shape with dimensions 6.18 x 5.84 x 4.17 mm. The gem is of Ceylon Sri Lanka origin and carries a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Color saturation is vivid, and the stone displays an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement to the sapphire, so the depth and tone you observe are intrinsic properties of the natural crystal. The mounting is crafted in 14K white gold, and the overall composition balances the sapphire with precision cut diamond accents to present a restrained and technically exact expression of color and form, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company.

The emerald cut itself is a study in measured geometry, where the broad table, truncated corners and a series of parallel step facets on the crown and pavilion work together to control light transmission and color return. The faceting plan emphasizes deep, even color across the table while avoiding excessive windowing or light leakage, achieved by careful proportional relations between table size and pavilion depth. The step facets create defined facet planes that act like mirrors, returning intense flashes of saturated blue and darkly toned contrast as the stone is viewed from different angles. The polish quality is apparent at facet junctions, where crisp edges and smooth planes produce precise reflections without diffusion. These attributes are particularly important in a vivid blue sapphire, because the cut dictates whether saturation reads as intense and even or as patchy and uneven.

The diamond accents have been selected and placed to complement the sapphire facets and to contribute their own measured light performance. Tapered baguette diamonds weighing approximately 0.08 carats collectively are set at the shoulders, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of E. Their step cut geometry lines up with the emerald steps of the center stone, reinforcing linear visual flow and directing the eye toward the table of the sapphire. The white round diamonds, totaling approximately 0.30 carats and graded VS with F G color, provide contrast through their small facetation and lively scintillation. Together these diamonds create a graded transition from the strong planar reflections of the emerald cut to lively pinpoint sparkle along the band, a deliberate interplay of facet architectures that underscores the ringmaker s control of light and proportion.

The setting is engineered to present the sapphire in optimal lighting while maintaining secure support and refined silhouette. Prongs are positioned to reveal the table and crown corners without obscuring facet planes, and the gallery is open enough to allow light to enter the pavilion and interact with the step facets. The 14K white gold ring surface is finished to a high polish to enhance the perceived brightness of the diamond accents and to offer a neutral backdrop for the vivid blue hue of the sapphire. The cumulative effect of cut, polish and setting is a ring in which every facet has been considered for its optical role, a piece that demonstrates technical accuracy rather than ornamented excess. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this ring as an example of precise faceting married to thoughtful design, ensuring the stone s natural qualities are communicated with clarity and consistency.
