Antique Style Blue Sapphire Ring 1.55 Ct., 14K Rose Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent 1.55 carat pear shape blue sapphire, measuring 8.07 x 5.95 x 4.33 mm, cut in a refined mixed brilliant style to maximize light return and visual impact. The mixed brilliant cut merges a well proportioned brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a complementary pavilion design that directs and reflects light back through the table, producing lively scintillation and controlled dispersion of color. The pear silhouette combines a rounded end for concentrated brilliance with a tapered tip to emphasize length and presence, and the careful symmetry of this stone ensures even light distribution across the surface. Evaluated as eye clean at standard viewing distance, the sapphire exhibits no inclusions visible to the unaided eye, which maintains strong transparency and allows the intense color saturation to read uniformly. The excellent polish enhances facet definition so that each plane catches light crisply, and the disclosed heat treatment is stable and commonly accepted within the trade, having been applied to optimize the stone's color and clarity without compromising structural integrity.

Technical attributes of the cut and setting work together to amplify perceived brilliance and value, making this piece attractive to an educated buyer. The mixed brilliant faceting scheme increases return of white light and creates a lively pattern of flashes and scintillation, while proportioned depth and table dimensions preserve the deep saturated blue associated with high quality Ceylon Sri Lanka sapphires. Ceylon origin is prized for producing sapphires with a vivid, lively blue that combines both sapphire tone and a velvety richness, and this example shows that characteristic intensity which commands scholarly and collector attention. The clarity grade, described as eye clean, is an important contributor to optical performance, as minor internal features are held beneath the threshold of visibility, preserving light transmission. The excellent polish ensures that facet junctions are sharp and reflective, which is critical for maximizing brilliance because any surface abrasion or poor finishing would diffuse light and reduce sparkle. The pear shape with a mixed brilliant cut therefore balances color saturation, light return, and silhouette elegance, offering a measurable advantage over less precise cuts where color or sparkle can be sacrificed.

Complementing the central sapphire are natural white round diamonds weighing approximately 0.20 carats in total, with each stone around 0.10 carat, clarity grades in the Very Slightly Included range, and a color grade of E. The near colorless E grade produces a bright contrast against the intense blue of the sapphire without introducing warmth that would mute the primary color. The round brilliant geometry of the side diamonds contributes additional scintillation and white light return, framing the sapphire and increasing both perceived size and liveliness. The ring is crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, a metal choice that subtly warms the presentation and enhances the blue by contrast, while the hand engraved shank and open gallery design let light access the pavilion and accentuate brilliance from multiple angles. Together these elements form a considered design that appeals to buyers who value provenance, gemological integrity, and precision cutting. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the disclosure of origin, treatment, and grading, and offers this piece as an example of how expert cutting, responsible enhancement disclosure, and elegant mounting combine to produce a sapphire ring of lasting aesthetic and investment value.
