Accent Stones Blue Sapphire Ring 1.48 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.48 carat oval blue sapphire measuring 7.48 by 6.27 by 3.95 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a controlled pavilion geometry to optimize both color saturation and light return. The mixed brilliant faceting concentrates blue to the table while providing lively scintillation from the crown, producing an intense face up color consistent with its Ceylon Sri Lanka origin. The stone is evaluated as eye clean at typical viewing distances, and the excellent polish on the facet junctions preserves crisp facet reflections and clean culet performance. The 14K yellow gold bezel setting registers precise metalwork with a low profile that frames the oval silhouette and warms the sapphire tone without overpowering saturation. Along the shoulders, straight white baguette diamonds totaling approximately 0.48 carats are channel set, each stone graded F in color and VS1 to VS2 in clarity, their rectilinear facet planes and parallel girdles delivering controlled, linear flashes that contrast and complement the sapphire.

The sapphire contains only minor internal characteristics that are not apparent at typical viewing distances, and these microscopic inclusions enhance character rather than detract from the gem. At higher magnification these internal features act as light modulators, producing a subtle velvety diffusion that enriches the perceived depth of color and creates zones of slightly varied blue that animate with movement. This intrinsic texture supports the stone’s natural origin and resists an overly flat or synthetic look, offering the wearer a living, dynamic color field that changes with tilt and light. The combination of the mixed brilliant cut, the eye clean clarity, and the careful bezel and channel setting by The Natural Sapphire Company results in a piece where craftsmanship and gemological nuance are in balance. Technical proportioning, exacting facet polish, and matched baguette geometry ensure stable optics and long term durability while delivering a ring with distinct personality rooted in natural inclusions and precise cutting.
