Accent Stones Blue Sapphire Ring 0.67 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a beautifully transparent 0.67 carat pear shape blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, dimensions 6.79 by 5.13 by 2.69 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that is engineered to maximize light return. The mixed brilliant cut on this pear form combines a carefully calibrated arrangement of triangular and kite shaped facets on the crown with precision facet geometry on the pavilion, producing both strong white light reflection and lively spectral color flashes. The result is an appearance that is at once brilliant and saturated, because the facet pattern channels incident light into the pavilion and returns it through the table and crown with minimal leakage. The sapphire exhibits intense color saturation and an excellent polish, factors that enhance the apparent depth of tone and the consistency of lustre across the surface. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and entirely acceptable clarity for natural colored sapphires that preserves purity of color while indicating natural formation, and importantly this sapphire has received no enhancement, which means the color and clarity are intrinsic to the stone rather than the result of heat treatment or other modification.

Flanking the central sapphire are natural white diamonds set as marquise and pear shapes, selected to complement the pear shape of the center stone and to accentuate its symmetry and light performance. The marquise shaped diamonds weigh approximately 0.10 carats in total and the pear shaped diamonds weigh approximately 0.40 carats in total, each graded Very Slightly Included across VS1 and VS2 for clarity and F for color, which places them in the near colorless range and ensures minimal interference with light return. The marquise and pear profiles create a halo of pointed reflections that direct viewer attention toward the sapphire while adding scintillation at varying angles, because the elongated diamond facets catch light differently than round brilliants and thus contribute a complementary play of light. Set in 14K yellow gold, the warm metal tone offers a visual contrast to the cool blue of the sapphire, and the open prong mounting raises the stones to allow maximum ingress of light from above and from the sides, preserving the engineered effect of the mixed brilliant cut and enabling the pavilion to act as an effective light chamber.

For the informed buyer this ring represents both gemological integrity and considered design, because the provenance and treatment history matter as much as raw beauty. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their vivid cornflower and royal blue hues and for the way their crystal structure responds to precise faceting, and when a Ceylon stone of intense saturation and excellent polish is cut to a mixed brilliant standard the optical outcome is particularly strong. The combination of a no enhancement policy for the sapphire, a clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level, and high quality near colorless diamonds yields a balanced piece that performs well visually and holds appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who value natural origin and fine cutting. At The Natural Sapphire Company we place emphasis on cutting proportions and facet alignment because those variables control brilliance and return on the finger, and this ring demonstrates how an optimized cut and thoughtful companion stones combine with classic 14K yellow gold setting to produce a piece that is both wearable and investment worthy. Care recommendations include routine gentle cleaning and professional inspection of prongs, and we are happy to provide further gemological documentation and high resolution imagery upon request.
