Floral Blue Sapphire Ring 0.57 Ct., Platinum 950

At The Natural Sapphire Company this ring begins its story in the storied gem fields of Ceylon, where a transparent blue sapphire found its life within ancient volcanic rock, slowly forming its colour and clarity over countless years. This oval 0.57 carat Ceylon sapphire, measuring 5.69 x 4.33 x 2.89 mm, carries a medium light colour saturation that whispers of pale tropical seas, and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level that speaks to its natural origin without any enhancement. Cut as a mixed brilliant oval, with an excellent polish, the stone is faceted to balance lively scintillation and soft, velvety colour, each facet shaped to reveal the gem rather than hide it, and every detail preserved to celebrate a stone that needed no heat treatment to tell its story.

From that place of origin the sapphire was brought to our bench, where master craftsmen translated the gem s natural character into a wearable heirloom, setting it entirely in platinum 950 to provide both enduring strength and a cool backdrop that amplifies the stone s delicate blue. The setting is hand finished, with intertwining platinum shoulders and subtle leaf like accents that cradle the oval stone, prongs raised just enough to allow light to enter the pavilion and return as sparkle to the eye, metalwork polished to a mirror sheen where needed, and textured where the design calls for contrast. The mixed brilliant cut finds its best expression here, because the precision of the setting and the polish of the metal work enhance the sapphire s transparency and its gentle play of light. For someone who values provenance and craftsmanship, this ring offers a direct connection from Ceylon s ancient earth to contemporary design, a gem that feels both intimate and timeless, ready to be worn and cherished for a lifetime.
