Halo Blue Sapphire Ring 3.48 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a transparent 3.48 carat Ceylon blue sapphire, presented in an oval outline measuring 11.01 by 8.07 by 4.60 mm, and cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances color saturation with optical performance. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with modified pavilion facets to maximize return of light while preserving weight and depth of tone, resulting in intense color saturation and strong face up presence. The stone is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and it displays an excellent polish that enhances facet junction integrity and overall scintillation. Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes to the vivid cornflower to deep royal blue range associated with that source, and the precision cutting preserves the sapphire core color while permitting lively flashes from the crown facets.

Surrounding the sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 1.44 carats in total, with clarity grades VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, selected to create a high contrast border that amplifies perceived sapphire color and brilliance. The diamonds are hand set in prong settings that are engineered to minimize metal obstruction while maintaining secure retention, and the gallery architecture provides balanced light access to both center stone and halo. The entire mounting is executed in 14K white gold, a durable alloy chosen for everyday wearability and long term resilience. The 14K composition offers increased hardness relative to higher karat alternatives, reducing prong deformation and surface wear under normal use, while a professional rhodium finish may be applied and renewed to preserve a bright white appearance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we focus on meticulous setting techniques, consistent symmetry, and durable construction, ensuring the sapphire sits securely with evenly aligned diamonds, crisp polish on all metal surfaces, and a band profile engineered for comfortable daily wear and long term serviceability.
