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

At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate gemstones that carry a lineage, and this ring is a study in timeless elegance and classical design. The centerpiece is a transparent 2.84 carat oval blue sapphire, measuring 9.28 by 6.56 by 5.71 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and depth. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, the sapphire displays medium color saturation, an eye clean clarity when viewed at eye level, and an excellent polish that lets its inner light breathe. Surrounding the sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.84 carats, with very slightly included clarity in VS1 and VS2 grades, and a color grade of F. The composition of 14K white gold for the head and 14K yellow gold for the shank gives a refined two tone appearance that echoes heirloom rings of past centuries, while providing a contemporary sensibility that will suit daily life. The balance of a Ceylon blue center stone with bright F color diamonds, set in classic mixed metal, evokes the legacy of royal and family jewels, making this piece an enduring symbol meant to be passed down through generations.

Beyond its beauty, this ring was designed with practical durability in mind, ensuring it can withstand the rhythms of modern daily wear. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, which means that this 2.84 carat Ceylon sapphire resists scratching and holds a polished finish through regular use. The surrounding diamonds, as the hardest natural material, add both brilliance and structural protection for the center stone. The mixed brilliant cut enhances resilience by dispersing light without creating overly delicate facets, and the secure setting in 14K gold provides a robust mounting, 14K gold offering a favorable balance of hardness and malleability compared to higher purity alloys. While no gemstone is immune to extreme impact, the natural toughness of sapphire combined with quality craftsmanship from The Natural Sapphire Company makes this ring a practical choice for everyday wear, as well as a treasured piece for special occasions. For those who value tradition, legacy, and durability in equal measure, this sapphire and diamond ring is a refined and sensible expression of enduring beauty.
