Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 1.48 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.48 carat oval blue sapphire, dimensions 7.48 x 6.27 x 3.95 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a brilliant crown with a precision pavilion to optimize scintillation and return of light. The mixed brilliant faceting pattern balances large crown facets for broad flash with a faceted pavilion geometry that disperses light into lively scintillation, resulting in an intense blue with uniform saturation across the table and shoulders. With an evaluated eye clean clarity grade at eye level and an excellent polish the pavilion and crown facets exhibit crisp facet junctions and minimized surface graining, preserving strong transparency and mirror like facet reflections. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, the sapphire displays the characteristic vivid cornflower to royal blue range associated with that provenance, and the measured profile yields a depth near 57.5 percent which contributes to both face up presence and well controlled brilliance.

The mounting features white round natural diamonds set along the shoulders, with accent groups weighing approximately 0.112 carats and 0.18 carats, each graded clarity VS and color F G to complement the sapphire with clean, near colorless brilliance. These diamonds are pavé set into tapered shoulders, each seat cut and punched to ensure consistent bead heights and secure tension transfer from the shank to the crowns of the stones, enhancing light entry and return without visually overwhelming the center gem. The center stone is held in a four prong cathedral style basket that exposes the pavilion for light return while maintaining mechanical security. The entire ring is fabricated in 14K white gold, selected for its optimal balance of gold content and alloyed metals that increase tensile strength and scratch resistance for long term wear. The 14K alloy provides structural integrity for thin pavé shoulders and prongs, resisting deformation with daily use while allowing precise hand finishing and high polish. For longevity we recommend routine inspection of prong settings and occasional rhodium re plating to maintain the bright white finish. This piece is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, crafted to marry gemstone performance with enduring metal durability for everyday wear.
