Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 1.34 Ct., 14K White & Yellow

This ring centers a transparent 1.34 carat oval blue sapphire, with exact dimensions of 7.42 by 5.38 by 4.18 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a brilliant facet pavilion with a modified crown to optimize return of light and color. The proportions yield a depth ratio of approximately 65 percent, which enhances the apparent saturation without sacrificing brilliance. Clarity is graded eye clean at standard viewing distance, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and lively facet contrast. Color is described as vivid saturation, a signature trait of Ceylon sapphires from Sri Lanka, and the stone has been heat treated to stabilize and intensify its blue tone using industry standard practices. The mixed brilliant faceting, together with precise pavilion angles, accentuates the stone texture and pleochroic shifts that are characteristic of fine Sri Lankan sapphire material.

Surrounding the sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds, totaling approximately 0.16 carats, graded VS for clarity and F or G for color, selected to present bright white contrast against the vivid blue center. The halo diamonds are set in 14 karat white gold, while the shank and shoulder are executed in 14 karat yellow gold, creating a controlled contrast that elevates the sapphire color. The center sapphire is secured by four robust white gold prongs placed at cardinal points, each prong head carefully formed and burnished to hold the girdle with minimal exposure. The halo diamonds are held in tight bead settings with full metal beads rather than open shared claws, reducing the risk of snagging and increasing retention force. An engineered under gallery supports the pavilion and disperses leverage away from the prongs, and the shoulders transition into a comfortable, solid yellow gold shank that resists bending.

All metalwork is finished to an excellent polish and inspected for fit and security as part of The Natural Sapphire Company quality protocol. The choice of white gold for the head both protects the metal against visible wear and enhances diamond brilliance, while the yellow gold shank provides resilience and classic warmth. For buyers who value technical precision and secure mounting, this design offers balanced optical performance combined with reinforced mechanical security, providing confidence for daily wear and long term enjoyment.
