Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 3.23 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a remarkable, transparent blue sapphire of 3.23 carats, cut into a classic oval shape. The stone measures 9.82 x 7.55 x 5.22 mm, and displays a mixed brilliant cut that balances internal fire with a broad, luminous table. At eye level the sapphire evaluates as eye clean, indicating clarity that allows the gem to present its depth of color without visible inclusions to the naked eye. The color saturation is intense, rendering a vivid Ceylon blue that is distinctly lively without appearing overly dark. The polish has been executed to an excellent standard, providing a highly reflective surface that enhances both light return and the visual purity of the hue. This sapphire is natural, with no enhancement recorded, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long recognized for producing sapphires with exceptional tone and clarity. The choice of platinum 950 for the mount complements the stone with a cool, stable metal that will preserve the integrity of the setting over time.

Surrounding the center sapphire, the ring features a precisely arranged halo of white diamonds in two complementary shapes. The pear shaped natural diamonds total approximately 0.40 carats, each graded Very Slightly Included across VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F. These pears are positioned to introduce subtle directional sparkle, lending the halo a sculpted silhouette that reinforces the oval profile of the sapphire. The round shaped natural diamonds total approximately 0.80 carats, each also graded Very Slightly Included under VS1 and VS2, with a consistent F color grade. The round stones provide continuous scintillation, creating a uniform rim of light that frames the blue center without competing with it. Set entirely in platinum 950, the mounting uses secure prong work and precise collet touches, allowing each diamond to contribute optimal brilliance while maintaining the overall structural balance. The combined effect is a considered interplay between the intense Ceylon sapphire and the crisp, cool clarity of high quality white diamonds.

Beyond its technical attributes, this ring is crafted to embody a cherished memory or a milestone occasion with quiet dignity. Sapphires have long been associated with fidelity, wisdom, and enduring affection, attributes that align naturally with commemorating engagements, anniversaries, or important life achievements. The vivid Ceylon blue of this sapphire evokes both the depth of a particular moment and the continuity of years to follow. When set within the halo of white diamonds and secured in platinum, the piece gains a presence that is both intimate and formally assured, suitable for daily wear or for keeping safe as an heirloom. The clean clarity and the lack of enhancement in the sapphire underscore a narrative of authenticity, a meaningful detail for anyone seeking a tangible reference to an unaltered moment in time. The design is intended to be timeless rather than trendy, ensuring that the ring can be referenced and worn across generations as a physical repository of memory.

The Natural Sapphire Company applies a consistent standard of craftsmanship and gemological rigour to this ring, ensuring that each specification is documented and verifiable. Practical considerations include the comfort and durability offered by the platinum 950 band, which resists wear while maintaining a polished aesthetic. The dimensions of the center stone, given as 9.82 x 7.55 x 5.22 mm, make for a visually prominent yet proportionate center that integrates smoothly with typical ring profiles. The total approximate diamond weight of 1.20 carats supports a luminous halo without overwhelming the sapphire, and the combined clarity and color grades provide predictable matching and long term visual stability. Care guidance recommends routine inspection of the setting, gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush, and professional servicing as needed to ensure the prongs and mounts remain secure.
