Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 2.06 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

If you are searching for an engagement ring that combines vivid color, strong light performance, and timeless elegance, or if you are a collector seeking a rare, transparent Ceylon sapphire that performs beautifully under every light, this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that need. At its heart sits a GIA certified Blue 2.06 carat round shape blue sapphire, measuring 7.22 by 7.16 by 5.17 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that delivers lively scintillation and balanced light return. The sapphire is eye clean at face up inspection, showing no visible inclusions to the naked eye, and it exhibits intense color saturation with an excellent polish, traits that preserve both depth of hue and crisp sparkle. Heat treatment enhancement is disclosed, a widely accepted practice that stabilizes and intensifies the stone without compromising its transparency. Flanked by approximately 0.36 carats of white natural round diamonds, graded E in color and VS1 to VS2 in clarity, the side stones give bright white flashes that frame the blue center, while the 18K yellow gold setting warms the sapphire and creates classic contrast that enhances the stone face up.

When comparing light performance, the mixed brilliant cut round sapphire on this ring offers a superior balance between brilliance and color compared to other common cuts and styles. Versus step cuts such as emerald, the mixed brilliant maintains greater scintillation and lively contrast, while avoiding the windowing that can dilute color in larger stones. Compared with full brilliant rounds, the mixed brilliant is tailored to maximize face up color and saturation in sapphire, by combining a brilliant crown with pavilion facets that deepen hue and return light in a lively pattern. Oval and cushion shapes can show attractive flash, but they often introduce bow tie effects and uneven light distribution, issues not present in this round mixed brilliant. Cabochons emphasize color but forfeit all sparkle, and princess or radiant cuts on colored stones can fragment color and reduce the sapphire look, whereas this mixed brilliant round preserves a vivid Ceylon blue with sparkling fire and strong light return. For an engagement ring or a collector piece that must perform for both color and brilliance, this piece from The Natural Sapphire Company is a thoughtful and elegant solution.
