Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 2.90 Ct., 10K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent AGL certified Blue sapphire weighing 2.90 carats, with dimensions of 8.59 by 6.37 by 5.96 mm, an oval outline and a mixed brilliant cut that balances large pavilion facets with a faceted crown to enhance both depth and brilliance. The stone has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity characteristic that preserves visual transparency while confirming natural origin. The sapphire displays vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, attributes commonly associated with fine Ceylon material, and the AGL report provides documented provenance from Sri Lanka. For an educated buyer, these specifics matter, because the combination of weight, cut and vivid Ceylon color produces a strong color presence without appearing overly dark, and the mixed brilliant faceting maximizes internal reflection so that the blue reads both deep and lively across different lighting conditions.

The setting is executed in rich 18K yellow gold, chosen to warm and intensify the sapphire tones, and to create a classic contrast with the surrounding white diamonds weighing approximately 0.60 carats in total. The round natural diamonds are high quality, graded Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F, which means near colorless performance that contributes bright, white scintillation around the center stone. The halo is set as a continuous circlet of individually seated round diamonds, each held so that metal work is minimal at the crown and light may reach each diamond from multiple angles. The center stone is secured by low profile yellow gold claws that are deliberately restrained to reveal the maximum table and crown facets, while an open pierced gallery beneath the halo allows light to pass through the pavilion and maintain lively dispersion. These design choices, combined with precise stone geometry and skilled finishing, produce a perceptible lift and separation between the sapphire and its diamond surround, making the blue appear more saturated and three dimensional. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this ring as an example of considered gem selection and refined goldsmithing, documented by laboratory grading and finished to exacting standards that appeal to connoisseurs who value clarity of origin, measured grading, and optimised light performance.
