Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 1.31 Ct., 10K White Gold

At The Natural Sapphire Company we begin this ring with a story that starts in the mineral rich soils of Ceylon where artisans and miners have long sought the most vivid blues, and this 1.31 carat round blue sapphire carries that history within its crystal lattice. Measured at 6.99 by 6.95 by 3.83 millimeters and cut as a mixed brilliant, the stone is a study in balance between natural origin and human precision. Under loupe and by eye the sapphire shows a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which allows its vivid color saturation to sing without being obscured. Our cutters preserved the best of the rough as they translated raw Ceylon blue into a gem with excellent polish, where each facet meets its neighbor with exacting alignment. The mixed brilliant approach marries a lively crown of brilliant facets with a carefully proportioned pavilion, producing flashes of deep cornflower blue and electric flashes of violet at different angles. These light returns are not accidental, they are the result of measured facet angles and mirror finish faceting that channel light inward and then release it as scintillation and color, a conversation between light and stone that you will see with every tilt of the hand.

Set by our master setters in platinum 950, the sapphire takes center stage on a band that is traced with white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.27 carats in total, each diamond chosen for its VS clarity and color grade F and G so that their icy brilliance frames the blue without competing with it. The ring is designed so that the prongs sit low enough to offer comfort and security, and high enough to allow light to enter the pavilion, enhancing the mixed brilliant faceting. From the mine to the wheel and from the wheel to the polish, every stage of creation has been overseen by specialists who respect the stone and its origin. When you wear this ring you carry a piece of Ceylon heritage, the meticulous geometry of a superior mixed brilliant cut, and the assurance that The Natural Sapphire Company has combined natural beauty with technical excellence to present a sapphire ring that is timeless and alive with light.
