Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 3.77 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company showcases a transparent 3.77 carat oval blue sapphire, measuring 9.99 by 8.03 by 5.53 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, and its clarity is graded slightly included at eye level. Compared with many high end sapphires on the market that either strive for absolute eye cleanliness at the expense of color depth, or that boast intense color but sit lower on clarity, this stone delivers a thoughtful balance. Slight inclusions in Ceylon sapphires often act like internal fingerprints that confirm natural origin and provide depth to the blue, and in this example the inclusions are restrained enough that they do not interrupt the gem’s overall transparency or sparkle. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and return of light, giving a livelier face up appearance than some step cut or shallow stones of similar carat weight. The medium intense color saturation is a hallmark of fine Sri Lankan sapphires, offering a vivid, appealing blue that reads richer against the warm backdrop of 14K yellow gold, and the standard heat treatment enhances color stability without diminishing the gem’s natural character.

When buyers compare clarity among high end rings, considerations usually include how visible inclusions are to the naked eye, how inclusions affect durability and brilliance, and whether the stone’s cut and polish compensate for natural features. This sapphire scores highly across those measures, because its slightly included clarity is balanced by an excellent polish and a mixed brilliant facet pattern, which together preserve brilliance and mask minor internal features under everyday viewing. Compared with stones that are heavily included or that are eye clean but poorly cut, this ring represents superior value and wearing beauty, because it combines a desirable carat size, a lively Ceylon hue, and a polished finish in a durable, classic 14K yellow gold setting. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select sapphires for real world appeal, and this piece is an example of a gem that reads as bright and transparent in hand, while offering the provenance, craftsmanship and balanced gem quality that savvy buyers seek when choosing a high end sapphire ring.
