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

This ring showcases a GIA certified blue sapphire weighing 1.64 carats, cut in an elegant emerald shape with dimensions measuring 8.13 by 5.24 by 4.10 mm, and it embodies the qualities that informed buyers prize in a fine colored gemstone. The sapphire has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, which indicates a level of clarity that is effectively eye clean for most observers, while retaining the natural character that makes each stone unique. The color displays vivid saturation and excellent polish, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a factor that significantly increases its rarity and appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who value untreated material. The origin of this stone is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with a luminous, velvety blue that reads as lively and pure in hand and under magnification. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem with full documentation and with the confidence that comes from GIA certification, which confirms the gemstone identity and supports provenance and grading information that matters to discerning buyers.

The emerald cut is a sophisticated choice for a blue sapphire, as the long, stepped facets emphasize depth of color and clarity more than extreme brilliance, and they reward careful cutting with a rich, even color spread. For a stone showing vivid saturation, the emerald cut allows the blue to present in a velvety block of color that changes subtly with movement, revealing flashes of lighter and deeper tones rather than a scatter of small bright flashes. The clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level is consistent with an attractive and natural appearance, and because the cutting and polish are excellent, any minor inclusions do not detract from the overall visual impact. The absence of heat or other common enhancements means that the stone’s color is entirely natural, which is a highly prized attribute in the marketplace and an important differentiator for buyers who understand how treatments affect value and longevity. Collectors often prefer untreated Ceylon sapphires for the combination of classic provenance and the organic quality of color that is intrinsic to the stone.

Complementing the sapphire are two white natural half moon shaped diamonds, totaling approximately 0.50 carats, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included in VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of I. The half moon shape is chosen to sit flush alongside the emerald cut center, creating a balanced silhouette that both frames the sapphire and adds controlled brightness to the composition. Diamonds in the VS range provide excellent eye cleanliness, and a color grade of I presents a pleasing white appearance next to the deep blue center without creating a stark contrast that would distract from the sapphire. The total diamond weight of approximately 0.50 carats contributes subtle scintillation, allowing the sapphire to remain the focal point while the side stones lift the overall presence of the ring. The entire piece is rendered in 18 karat yellow gold, a metal choice that enhances the warmth of the design and sets off the blue hue of the sapphire with classical elegance. 18 karat gold offers a durable yet luxurious setting metal that retains its finish well over time with appropriate care.

Security of the mounting is a central consideration for both everyday wear and long term ownership, and this ring has been designed and finished with that priority in mind. The sapphire is held by a robust prong setting that is shaped and positioned to protect the stone corners and to distribute impact forces, while the half moon diamonds are seated in secure tailored settings that minimize movement and exposure. The gallery and shoulders are reinforced to give structural support to the head, and the joinery between the head and the shank is carefully executed to prevent leverage related wear. At The Natural Sapphire Company every piece undergoes a multi point quality inspection to verify seat security, prong integrity, and overall construction before it leaves our workshop, and our experienced setters hand finish and check the tension of each element to provide lasting peace of mind. Routine professional inspection and gentle cleaning will help maintain the condition and security of the ring over time, and our team is available to advise on best practices for care and to assist with any servicing that may be required. This ring combines rare, untreated Ceylon origin color, precise cutting and polish, quality side stones, and considered, secure workmanship to offer a piece that is both beautiful and built to be enjoyed for generations.
