Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 1.16 Ct., 14K White Gold

This sapphire began its story in the rich, weathered soils of Ceylon, where miners have long sought the deep blues that have defined Sri Lankan gem lore for centuries. From the riverbeds it emerged as a rough crystal, its potential hidden beneath a surface shaped by time and geology. In the hands of skilled sorters the stone was recognized for its transparency and intense colour, traits that mark the very best of Ceylon sapphires. The journey from mine to master cutter is an act of careful stewardship, not extraction alone, and every decision taken along the way was guided by respect for the sapphire s natural character. That lineage of place and process remains visible in the finished gem, a living trace of island geology and human tradition that you can wear and hold.

The ring features a beautiful, transparent GIA certified blue 1.16 carat round shape blue sapphire, dimensions 6.12 x 6.06 x 3.92 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, intense color saturation, excellent polish, enhancement no enhancement, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to reconcile the stone s rich color with the need for lively brilliance, combining the depth that brings out saturated cornflower notes with facets that return flashes of white light. GIA certification gives you independent assurance of authenticity and the gem s natural state, a confirmation that the sapphire s color and clarity are real, and uncompromised by heating or other enhancements. Around the centre stone, a carefully considered constellation of natural diamonds adds measured sparkle without overwhelming the sapphire s voice. Featured in the ring, white round shaped natural diamonds, weighing approx 0.432 carats, clarity VS, color F/G. Additional accent diamonds are included to trace the ring s form, white round shaped natural diamonds, weighing approx 0.04 carats, clarity VS, color F/G, white round shaped natural diamonds, weighing approx 0.032 carats, clarity VS, color F/G, and fine melee diamonds, white round shaped natural diamonds, weighing approx 0.01 carats, clarity VS, color F/G. Together these diamonds provide tonal contrast and a field of scintillation that lifts the sapphire, using excellent clarity and near colourless grades to complement rather than compete with the centre gem.

Every aspect of the ring s metalwork speaks to artisanry that elevates the natural stones, the mounting crafted entirely in platinum 950 to ensure durability, stability, and a cool, reflective backdrop that intensifies the sapphire s blue. The design echoes the gem s origin and its transformation, with a split shoulder and delicate lattice beneath the setting that allows light to pass through the pavilion, increasing the sense of depth in the sapphire. Tiny pavé diamonds line the shoulders and edges, set with precision to draw the eye toward the centre while milgrain style detailing adds a whisper of vintage character, a tactile reminder of hand finishing. The four prong crown holds the sapphire with secure confidence, shaped to protect the girdle while allowing the mixed brilliant cut to breathe and display its fire. At The Natural Sapphire Company we oversee every stage of this journey from provenance verification to the final polish, combining gemological rigour with centuries of sensibility in design and hand setting. The result is a ring that reads as both a modern expression of elegance and a continuation of an old world story, a tangible connection to the mine, the cutter, and the jeweller whose expertise turns raw beauty into wearable art. If you seek a piece that carries a clear, documented origin, outstanding colour, and meticulous craftsmanship, this sapphire ring offers all three in equal measure, ready to become part of your own story.
