Halo Blue Sapphire Ring 0.98 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring begins its story deep in the gem bearing soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where sapphires have been prized for centuries for their vivid color and timeless allure. From the moment the 0.98 carat oval blue sapphire was lifted from the earth its journey became one of transformation and intention. Transparent and richly saturated with a dark blue hue, the stone measures 6.90 by 5.10 by 3.59 mm and has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to balance depth of color with lively internal scintillation. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity is very slightly included, a mark of genuineness that speaks to its natural origins rather than laboratory perfection. Under the hands of gem traders and appraisers the sapphire was selected not only for its beauty but for the story it carries, a story of riverbeds and hillside pits, of generations who have understood how light and landscape create the blue that sapphires from Ceylon are celebrated for. As you consider this ring you are holding more than a gem, you are holding a fragment of Ceylonese geological history, preserved and transformed into something that will accompany life moments.

The transformation from rough to jewel was executed with deliberate care, a process that brought out the sapphire s inner fire and refined its silhouette into an elegant oval. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to harmonize the deep, dark saturation with lively facet contrast, and the excellent polish enhances every angle so that the blue reads as both deep and luminous under different lights. Surrounding the center stone, a halo of white round natural diamonds frames the sapphire like stars around a night sky, with a combined diamond weight of approx 0.252 carats. These diamonds carry clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, chosen to provide bright, near colorless brilliance that lifts the sapphire s tone without competing with it. The entire composition is set in 18K white gold, a cool and enduring metal that complements the blue while offering strength for daily wear. Skilled setters created a refined gallery and secure prong work to raise the sapphire slightly, allowing light to pass through and animate the mixed brilliant cut, while ensuring the halo sits in perfect proportion to the 0.98 carat center.
