Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 1.33 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a beautiful, transparent 1.33 carat pear shaped blue sapphire, measuring 6.86 by 5.53 by 4.49 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation with color depth, the mixed brilliant cut uses smaller crown facets and larger pavilion facets to return light as both sparkle and rich color, the sapphire has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the inclusions are discreet and do not interrupt the visual purity of the stone, the intense color saturation is the defining characteristic of this gem, the deep, velvety blue reads as lively under daylight and rich under indoor lighting, the excellent polish produces crisp facet junctions and sharp reflections, the proportions of the stone, with a depth of about sixty five percent relative to its length, are particularly well chosen for a pear shape, this depth helps to maintain saturation while still allowing strong light return, the origin of the sapphire is Nigeria, a source that in recent years has produced sapphires with compelling, natural blue hues which collectors and connoisseurs seek for their distinctive character.

Flanking the center sapphire are two white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.20 carats in total, each diamond is graded in the Very Slightly Included range, corresponding to VS1 and VS2 clarity at typical grading, the color grade is F, providing a bright, near colorless contrast that enhances the sapphire without competing with it, the diamonds are calibrated and matched for brightness and symmetry, the three stone composition rests in a meticulously executed 14 karat yellow gold mounting, the warm yellow gold serves to emphasize the blue body color of the sapphire, the setting employs sleek prongs that are sized to secure each gem without visually overpowering them, the gallery work beneath the center stone is open enough to allow light to enter the pavilion, while being structurally robust to protect the gem during daily wear, the overall finish including the polished shank and internal surfaces reflects a standard of workmanship comparable to the finest independent ateliers, the attention to fit and finish, the tightness of prong work, and the precision of the seat for the sapphire recall the level of care seen in pieces from renowned luxury houses such as Cartier, Tiffany and Co, Harry Winston, Bvlgari, and Van Cleef and Arpels, the comparison is in hand finishing and control of detail, rather than brand provenance, this allows the educated buyer to appreciate a product that stands shoulder to shoulder with high end design execution, while coming from a specialist source focused on sapphires.

For the informed buyer, this ring represents a clear combination of desirable gemological attributes, provenance, and lasting design, the sapphire’s carat weight and pear shape offer a poised silhouette on the finger, the dimensions and cut produce a stone that reads larger than its weight might suggest due to the efficient use of depth and table relationships, the very slightly included clarity grade and excellent polish support both eye appeal and long term value, the Nigerian origin adds provenance that many collectors value, the natural white diamonds of F color and VS clarity supply a bright, neutral counterpoint that elevates the overall aesthetic, setting the piece in 14 karat yellow gold provides a durable, attractive metal that is perfectly suited for frequent wear, sapphire is a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making it exceptionally resistant to scratches and suitable for daily rings, at The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparent and specific information, our sourcing and gemological knowledge allow us to present each gem with clear facts, buyers who prize substance over hype will find this ring to be a thoughtfully composed object, one that blends strong visual impact with sound gemological credentials, and one that is crafted with a degree of refinement and finishing that educated buyers will recognize and appreciate.
