Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 4.06 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a C.Dunaigre certified Blue 4.06 carat emerald cut shape blue sapphire, measuring 10.25 x 8.20 x 5.32 mm, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The stone is graded very very slightly included at eye level, with intense color saturation and an excellent polish, and its proportions yield a depth of approximately 58 percent which is ideal for an emerald cut of this size. The precision of the faceting is the defining attribute of this gem, with parallel step facets that have been cut and aligned to exacting tolerances to produce crisp facet junctions and mirror like planes. The large table and well controlled crown and pavilion angles emphasize depth of tone and saturated cornflower blue, rather than scintillation alone, creating a vivid internal glow and a hall of mirrors effect that is characteristic of the finest Ceylon emerald cuts. The corner facets are gently truncated and the girdle is even and proportional, which together with an exceptional polish ensures uniform light return and stable color across the face of the gem.

Complementing the sapphire, four groups of white baguette straight shaped natural diamonds are precision matched to echo the step cut geometry of the center stone, with individual weights of approximately 0.40 carats, 0.25 carats, 0.16 carats, and 0.10 carats, totaling approximately 0.91 carats. Each diamond is graded Very Slightly Included VS1, VS2, with a color grade of F, providing bright, near colorless contrast to the intense blue center stone. The baguettes are cut with sharp facet edges and flat planes, and they are set with minimal metal between stones so that facet intersections align visually with the sapphire steps, reinforcing the architectural symmetry of the design. The entire composition is crafted in platinum 950, offering structural integrity and a refined white backdrop that maximizes contrast and security. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize exacting lapidary standards and transparent grading, and this ring exemplifies how precise faceting and matched gemstone selection elevate both the optical performance and lasting value of a fine sapphire piece.
