Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 2.84 Ct., 18K White & Yellow

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company centers a transparent 2.84 carat oval blue sapphire, dimensions 9.28 x 6.56 x 5.71 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that is engineered to maximize light reflection and brilliance, and to outperform common market alternatives. Unlike traditional step cuts and shallow ovals that tend to return less light, the mixed brilliant cut combines precision faceting on the crown and a carefully proportioned pavilion to create intense return of white light and vibrant blue flashes. The excellent polish and eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level allow each facet junction to act like a tiny mirror, producing crisp scintillation that reads as more lively and larger than stones of similar carat weight with ordinary cutting. The medium color saturation from Ceylon Sri Lanka gives a lively, true blue that interacts beautifully with the mixed brilliant faceting, preserving color depth without sacrificing sparkle, and offering a look that feels both natural and highly refined compared with darker, less transparent sapphires or heavily treated stones commonly found on the market.

Surrounding the sapphire is a halo of white pear shaped lab grown diamonds weighing approximately 0.30 carats, paired with white round shaped lab grown diamonds weighing approximately 0.70 carats, all graded VS1, VS2 for clarity and F for color. These complementary stones are selected to enhance light performance, their precise cuts and high color grade reflecting additional brilliance back into the center sapphire, producing a unified burst of sparkle that elevates the overall presence of the piece beyond a single stone setting. The two tone mounting in 14K white gold and 14K yellow gold delivers both contrast and balance, the white gold halo optimizing diamond fire and the yellow gold band providing warm contrast that accentuates the Ceylon blue. Compared with mass produced halo rings, this design prioritizes facet alignment, stone proportions, and metal selection to maximize light return, durability, and timeless appeal. For buyers seeking a superior balance of brilliance, color, and value, this ring embodies The Natural Sapphire Company commitment to provenance, skilled cutting, and careful stone pairing, offering an heirloom quality piece that visibly outshines many market alternatives.
