Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 1.85 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent 1.85 carat oval blue sapphire, with precise dimensions of 8.33 by 6.53 by 3.90 millimeters, executed in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. The stone displays vivid color saturation that is unmistakable to the trained eye, a deep yet lively blue that reads as both regal and contemporary. Clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the internal characteristics are minimal and do not detract from the sapphire’s overall presence, especially when set and viewed on the hand. The sapphire has an excellent polish, a finish that enhances surface return and ensures that light plays across the table and facets with clarity. As a responsible disclosure, this Ceylon origin sapphire from Sri Lanka has been heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement in trade that improves color and clarity while preserving the integrity and long term stability of the gem.

Surrounding the central sapphire is a halo of white round shaped natural diamonds, totaling approximately 0.48 carats, selected for their clarity and color to provide a luminous frame. The diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included, with individual clarity grades of VS1 and VS2, which in practical terms means inclusions are difficult to detect without magnification, and they do not interfere with brilliance. The color grade F indicates a near colorless quality, which allows the diamonds to remain bright and to reflect white light without introducing a warm tint that could compete with the sapphire’s blue. The diamonds complement the sapphire’s hue by adding contrast and sparkle, creating a halo effect that magnifies the perceived size and saturation of the center stone. The entire composition is set in platinum 950, a metal that offers a dense, secure setting and a cool white backdrop that accentuates blue tones and maintains its appearance with minimal maintenance.

For the educated buyer who values technical details and provenance, several aspects of this piece will be compelling. The origin Ceylon Sri Lanka is noteworthy because Sri Lankan sapphires are historically prized for their vivid and pure blues, a factor that contributes to both aesthetic desirability and market value. The mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire is chosen to maximize return of light while preserving an elegant oval outline, a choice that benefits both daily wear and photographic presentation. The clarity grade slightly included, assessed at eye level, indicates that the stone retains natural character without significant impact on appearance, and it often represents excellent value for a richly colored sapphire of this size. Heat treatment is a stable enhancement and an accepted practice among reputable dealers and laboratories, and when properly disclosed, it allows collectors to acquire stronger color and cleaner presentation with confidence. The accompanying diamonds carry industry standard grading of VS1 and VS2 clarity and F color, attributes that assure consistent brilliance and compatibility with the platinum setting, while the total diamond weight of approximately 0.48 carats provides balanced support without overwhelming the center stone.

As a statement piece that exudes confidence, this ring is designed to make an impression the moment it is seen and felt. The oval sapphire, large enough to act as a focal point yet proportioned with refined measurements, communicates assured taste and an appreciation for classic architectural balance. The halo of white diamonds amplifies presence and creates dynamic contrast, ensuring that the ring reads as purposeful and commanding under different lighting conditions. Platinum 950 offers a secure and substantial feel on the finger, a tactile reminder of quality that also suits formal and everyday wardrobes. For those seeking longevity of wear and sustained resale or heirloom value, the combination of a provenance identified sapphire, high quality near colorless diamonds, and a platinum setting meets the standards of discerning buyers and collectors alike. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind each specification and disclosure, and this design demonstrates the company’s commitment to clarity in grading, integrity in sourcing, and excellence in craftsmanship.
