Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 3.08 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 3.08 carat oval blue sapphire, with exact dimensions 10.83 x 7.95 x 3.89 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that pairs a brilliant crown with a slightly stepped pavilion to balance scintillation and color depth, the mixed cutting allows the crown facets to return lively flashes while the pavilion steps concentrate the intense blue saturation, clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, polish is excellent, and the sapphire has been heat treated and sourced from Thailand. The setting employs elevated claw prongs that are tapered to minimally obscure the girdle, the prongs are positioned to align with the major axes of the oval to preserve the optical symmetry and to reduce light obstruction, the open gallery beneath the stone is pierced and scalloped to allow maximum light to enter the pavilion and to prevent shadowing, this combination of prong geometry and openwork gallery increases apparent depth and promotes even color distribution across the table, the cool reflectivity of 14K white gold further enhances perceived saturation by providing a neutral light return that contrasts with the sapphire, and the overall profile is engineered to present the sapphire above the finger for an immediate focal presence.

Surrounding the center sapphire is a halo of white round shaped lab grown diamonds, total approximate weight 1.20 carats, graded F color and VS1 VS2 clarity, each diamond is matched for diameter and faceting, set in a scalloped shared prong halo that creates continuous white light around the sapphire, the halo stones are seated slightly below the crown of the sapphire so that their table facets create a ring of brilliance while the shared prong construction minimizes metal between stones to maximize white light spill. The gallery and crown intersect in small scrolls and curved banks that act as optical facets, reflecting the halo back into the sapphire and producing a perceived increase in size and center stone brightness, every junction of metal shows controlled chamfering and hand finishing to eliminate light leakage and to maintain consistent shadow lines, the ring is fully fabricated in 14K white gold with careful attention to symmetry and seat tolerances, this design demonstrates the technical craftsmanship and gemological sensitivity that clients expect from The Natural Sapphire Company, the result is a composed balance of color, contrast, and brilliance that showcases the sapphire while the diamond halo and refined setting details amplify its presence.
