Three Stone Blue Sapphire Ring 3.52 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on an exceptional AGL certified blue sapphire, a round 3.52 carat gem measuring 9.19 by 9.13 by 4.80 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant specification that balances scintillation with rich color depth. The sapphire exhibits vivid color saturation, an excellent polish, and a clarity evaluated as very, very slightly included at eye level, evidence of natural formation rather than treatment. The stone is documented as originating from Burma, no enhancement, certification from the AGL confirms the gemological attributes and the absence of heat or other treatments. The combination of size, cut, and Burmese origin gives this sapphire a strong, clean presence in hand, while the mixed brilliant cut bridges classical round brilliance with facet arrangements that emphasize the stone color and internal light return.

The mounting has been conceived to maximize the visual impact of the sapphire while minimizing metal intrusion into the field of view, the sapphire is secured by four slim platinum prongs that rise directly from the shoulder and cradle the crown without obscuring its table. The prong terminals are shaped to follow the stone girdle closely, reducing shadowing and allowing light to enter at wide angles, the reduced metal footprint around the pavilion facilitates refracted light escape, contributing to the jewel perceived as lively and saturated. Beneath the center stone the gallery remains open and sculpted, permitting direct light to reach the pavilion facets and enabling the mixed brilliant facets to display their fire and facet contrast, this undergallery openness also creates a delicate silhouette when viewed from the profile, drawing attention to the sapphire rather than to the setting itself.

Flanking the central sapphire are straight baguette shaped natural diamonds, with a combined weight of approximately 0.80 carats, graded color F, and clarity between VS1 and VS2, their step cut geometry offers a contrasting optical character to the mixed brilliant sapphire, the elongated facets of the baguettes provide a sharp, clean reflection that frames the round center stone and reinforces its color intensity. Each baguette is mounted in a tailored platinum seat that aligns its long axis with the visual plane of the ring, the setting positions the diamonds to sit just below the sapphire crown, creating a graduated transition in height that emphasizes the sapphire elevation while maintaining a cohesive lateral balance. The use of high color, high clarity baguettes ensures a neutral white backdrop, the diamonds read as bright, crisp accents that lift the perceived saturation of the blue by juxtaposition, their precision cut planes also introduce a controlled regatta of reflections that complements the center stone rather than competing with it.

The ring is executed entirely in platinum 950, selected for its structural stability and lustrous white surface that resists long term discoloration, the band itself tapers gently from the shoulders to a comfortable shank width, the shoulders are contoured to meet the prong bases smoothly, this continuity of form keeps the focus on the gem cluster while providing secure mechanical support. The polished finish across the exterior planes presents a mirror background that accentuates the diamonds and sapphire, while the internal joins and prong welds are finished and inspected to ensure both security and wearer comfort. The overall design balances elevation with practicality, the raised head provides a prominent display for the sapphire, yet the prong geometry and undergallery engineering are tuned to everyday wear, all work is carried out to meet stringent standards at The Natural Sapphire Company, the piece is supplied with the accompanying AGL certificate and detailed gem specifications for transparency and long term confidence.
