Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 1.64 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From the moment the first glint of sapphire was found in the alluvial gravels of Ceylon, this gem began a journey that links ancient geology with modern artistry. In Sri Lanka, where sapphires have been prized for thousands of years, miners have learned to read the subtle language of the earth, following riverbeds and clay seams to uncover stones that have spent millions of years forming under pressures and temperatures that only nature can command. This particular sapphire carries the quiet authority of that landscape, a jewel born of volcanic rock and river polish, traced from the old gem pits to the hands of experienced cutters. The story of its origin matters, because Ceylon sapphires are known for their luminous, velvety blues and a clarity that seems to hold both sky and ocean within a single table of color, and because The Natural Sapphire Company believes in honoring the provenance of each stone as a living chapter in its design.

The heart of this ring is a GIA certified Blue 1.64 carat emerald cut shape blue sapphire, a stone measured precisely at 8.13 x 5.24 x 4.10 mm, with an emerald cut that reveals crystalline depth while emphasizing symmetry and light. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which gives the gem an honest, natural character while allowing the vivid color saturation to take center stage. The polish is excellent, the facets cut to deliver a crisp, elegant presence without masking the sapphire s natural voice. Importantly, this gem is unenhanced, a rarity that communicates authenticity and a direct connection to Ceylon s celebrated deposits. An untreated, well cut Ceylon sapphire like this one is a statement about time and place, a gemstone that carries the mark of formation rather than human alteration, and that provenance is recorded on the GIA certificate that accompanies the stone.

Flanking this central sapphire are white trapezoid shaped natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.50 carats in total, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included in VS1 and VS2 grades, and a color grade of F. These side stones were chosen for their architectural harmony with the emerald cut center, their clean lines and precise geometry echoing the sapphire s facets while adding bright, white contrast that lifts the blue into a more vivid register. The diamonds are set to complement rather than compete, their trapezoid shapes creating a tapered frame that focuses attention inward, toward the deep Ceylon blue. The entire composition is brought together in 18K yellow gold, a warm and classical choice that enhances the sapphire s cool intensity with a sunlit glow. The setting is crafted to balance security and elegance, with prongs and gallery work designed to reveal the stone s profile from every angle, while the gold band s subtle taper keeps the ring wearable and graceful.

When you wear this ring you carry more than a beautiful object, you carry a story that begins in Ceylon s gem gravels and concludes in a moment of decision and artistry. At The Natural Sapphire Company we steward that story with care, from sourcing and certification to the hands that set each stone, so that the provenance is as meaningful as the sparkle. The GIA certification and the documented origin of Ceylon are assurances that the gem you see is genuine, untreated, and responsibly sourced. If you imagine this ring as an heirloom, consider how its journey will continue, how the blue that started as molten earth will age into memory, how the diamonds will keep framing that color for generations. We welcome questions about the sapphire s origin, the cutting process, and the care that will keep this ring luminous, and we are proud to present a piece that speaks of place, geology, and the quiet craftsmanship that turns raw beauty into something made for the hand.
