Pave Blue Sapphire Ring 1.57 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a GIA certified Blue 1.57 carat round sapphire originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, precision cut to a mixed brilliant faceting scheme that optimizes both color saturation and light return. The stone measures seven point one one by seven point zero five by three point nine four millimeters, yielding a depth of approximately fifty six percent, a proportion chosen to preserve vivid saturation while avoiding windowing common in shallow cuts. The mixed brilliant configuration pairs a brilliant style crown with calibrated pavilion facets, producing strong contrast and consistent face up color. Clarity is evaluated as eye clean at eyepiece level, and the stone shows excellent polish and facet symmetry, attributes that demonstrate high quality cutting and finishing. The vivid blue tone is a classic Ceylon presentation, and certification from GIA documents the stone identity and origin, providing assurance of authenticity and traceability.

The mounting is engineered for daily wear, set entirely in platinum nine hundred and fifty for maximum structural integrity and long term stability. The sapphire is secured in a four prong crown with a reinforced gallery and well formed prong shoulders to protect the girdle from lateral impact while maintaining an upright profile for light admission. The band is partially set with round white natural diamonds totaling approximately zero point three zero carats, clarity VS and color grade F G, set in a micro pavé technique with uniform bead work to maintain low profile and wearer comfort. Platinum nine hundred and fifty provides high density and a natural resistance to wear and tear, it will develop a patina rather than thin away, and prongs can be professionally retipped to restore original security. From a materials perspective the sapphire rate on the Mohs scale at nine combined with diamond hardness at ten and the robustness of platinum create a system well suited to daily use, subject to routine inspection and professional cleaning. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the craftsmanship and offers guidance on long term care, including periodic prong checks and ultrasonics safe for cleaned stones with no fractures, ensuring the piece remains secure and visually striking for everyday wear.
