Halo Blue Sapphire Ring 2.64 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the ancient rock chambers of Ceylon in Sri Lanka this Blue sapphire began its long passage to light, born of heat and pressure deep within the earth, sediment and time working together to concentrate aluminum and trace elements until a crystal formed, miners discovered a transparent, richly saturated stone, AGL certified Blue, weighing 2.64 carats, measuring 8.48 by 6.96 by 5.77 mm, and displaying a clarity graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, an intense color saturation that speaks of its island origin, and an excellent polish that hints at the care it would receive at the hands of master cutters, each rough facet and inclusion studied, decisions made to preserve as much weight and color as possible while unlocking the gem's inner fire, The Natural Sapphire Company guided this sapphire from mine to table with a commitment to provenance and transparency, an AGL certificate accompanying the stone to record its identity and origin as it began its second life as a jewel.
