Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 3.26 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company puts a rare combination of size, clarity, and origin in a classic, wearable design, centered on a transparent 3.26 carat radiant shape blue sapphire measuring 9.42 x 7.58 x 4.87 mm. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, the stone shows a medium intense color saturation and an eye clean clarity at normal viewing distance, with an excellent polish that maximizes the radiant cut facets. Compared with many mass market alternatives, where color is often weak or stones are heavily included or synthetic, this Ceylon sapphire offers the authentic, vivid personality collectors and connoisseurs seek, while heat treatment is an industry standard enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies the attractive blue color. Flanking the center are tapered white baguette diamonds totaling approximately 0.34 carats, graded VS1, VS2 for clarity and E for color, a combination that lends crisp, architectural contrast without overpowering the sapphire, resulting in visual balance and long term value that outperforms many generic three stone rings.

Beyond the gemological strengths, this ring is entirely set in 18K yellow gold, a choice that blends beauty with practical longevity, and the construction details are designed to support everyday wear. Unlike softer plated or hollow bands, a solid 18K yellow gold shank resists corrosion and maintains its warm hue over time, and it polishes back to a deep lustre when needed. While 14K alloys can be slightly harder, 18K offers a richer tone and superior resistance to tarnish compared with silver, and a more flattering backdrop for the sapphire than white metals, which can mute blue saturation. The four prong setting and tapered diamond shoulders provide structural support for the pavilion and corners of the radiant cut, reducing lateral stress and protecting the stone during regular use. In short, the combination of a high quality Ceylon sapphire, precision cut and polished, natural E color VS range diamonds, and a thoughtfully engineered 18K yellow gold mounting gives you a ring that not only looks exceptional at first glance, but is built to remain a treasured, wearable heirloom for years to come.
