Bezel Blue Sapphire Ring 0.78 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 0.78 carat round blue sapphire, precisely measured at 5.45 by 5.35 by 3.67 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that pairs a brilliant crown with a modified pavilion to optimize both scintillation and color return. The slightly deeper pavilion, approximately 68 percent depth, is a deliberate proportion for Ceylon sapphires, enhancing intense color saturation while preserving lively light performance. Faceting emphasizes contrast on the crown facets to produce crisp, well defined scintillation under point light, while the pavilion faceting is adjusted to promote even blue distribution and strong return of saturated hue. Clarity is graded eye clean at typical viewing distance, meaning no inclusions are visible to the unaided eye, and polish is evaluated as excellent, producing sharp facet junctions and bright facet reflections. Enhancement is heat treatment, a stable and traditional process used to improve colour and clarity in natural sapphires, and origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, which is known for producing bright, vibrant blue tones with slight violet undertones.

The mounting is entirely 14 karat yellow gold, executed as a low profile bezel with a pierced gallery and tapered shoulders that create subtle triangular openwork to allow light to enter the pavilion and enhance the gem's apparent depth. The bezel setting secures the girdle with minimal metal intrusion on the crown, preserving a generous face up area and maximizing visible color. Hand finishing includes careful burnishing of bezel edges and a high polish across the shank, ensuring comfortable wear and long term durability. The Natural Sapphire Company sources this sapphire through a responsible supply chain, working with certified partners in Sri Lanka to ensure traceability, fair labor practices, and minimised environmental impact. Our sourcing program supports local communities through fair wages and progressive reclamation practices at the mine site, and all enhancements and origin information are transparently disclosed so knowledgeable buyers can assess the gem's technical qualities and ethical pedigree with confidence.
