Accent Stones Blue Sapphire Ring 1.15 Ct., 18K Yellow & White

This ring centers a transparent 1.15 carat oval Ceylon sapphire, with exact dimensions 8.10 x 5.91 x 3.20 mm, and a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant facet crown with a precision pavilion to optimize face up performance. The mixed brilliant faceting preserves strong return of blue tone while maintaining scintillation, and the pavilion design was chosen to enhance depth and table reflection for an elegant face up spread. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, ensuring the stone reads clean and transparent to the unaided eye. Color exhibits medium saturation typical of fine Ceylon material, presenting a lively medium blue that balances vividness with clarity of tone. The sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, with an excellent polish and tight symmetry, set within a yellow gold claw basket that secures the stone while allowing light to enter from the pavilion and crown for maximum brilliance. The use of 14K yellow gold for the prongs and gallery provides a visual contrast to the white gold band, and careful hand setting preserves the stone geometry and facet integrity.

Flanking the center sapphire are white marquise lab grown diamonds totaling approximately 0.48 carats, each selected for consistent proportions, clean faceting and matched symmetry, with clarity grades in the VS1 to VS2 range and a color grade of E. The marquise shapes are cut and set to complement the oval center, creating optical elongation and channeling light into the sapphire through precisely placed shoulders. The mounting combines 14K white gold for the band and diamond settings with the 14K yellow gold sapphire basket, executed with precision millwork and hand finishing to ensure secure prong seats and a low profile gallery. The Natural Sapphire Company sources the Ceylon sapphire through a documented, ethical supply chain, working with vetted artisanal and small scale mining partners in Sri Lanka who adhere to fair labor practices and environmental management guidelines, and we maintain chain of custody records from mine to finished piece. The lab grown diamonds offer an additional traceable component, produced in a controlled environment to provide consistent quality and transparency. The overall construction emphasizes technical gemological integrity, responsible sourcing, and enduring craftsmanship.
