Studs Bluish Green Sapphire Earring 2.18 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 18K Yellow Gold

This pair of sapphire stud earrings presents 2.18 total carat weight of transparent, round bluish green sapphires, each stone measuring 5.97 x 5.95 x 4.13 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and a clarity grade described as eye clean when evaluated at eye level. The stones display vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, and they are offered with no enhancement, a quality attribute that is increasingly prized by informed buyers who seek natural gem material in its original state. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historic source for sapphire material that is recognized for producing lively, medium to medium dark tones with strong color presence, and the pairing is carefully matched for color, proportion and clarity so the studs read as a cohesive set when worn. The mixed brilliant cut is selected to balance color return and scintillation, and the dimensions provide a comfortable, wearable diameter that gives visible presence without overwhelming the ear, making these earrings suitable for both daily wear and formal occasions.

The optical performance of these sapphires is central to their appeal, and the cutting and polishing regimen has been executed to maximize how light is captured and reflected from every angle. A mixed brilliant cut introduces a brilliant facet pattern on the crown that promotes small, lively flashes of white light known as scintillation, while the pavilion design encourages controlled light return and color saturation, so the stones exhibit sparkling highlights interspersed with deep, saturated flashes of bluish green. Excellent polish and precise facet junctions reduce light leakage and enhance the return of light to the observer, resulting in an appearance that changes dynamically as the head moves, and as ambient lighting conditions shift. In direct light the facets act as tiny mirrors throwing concentrated points of light outward, and in softer light the same facets distribute color evenly across the face of the gem, which is why the stones appear to capture and reflect light from every angle, producing a lively and three dimensional optical effect that speaks to superior cutting and material quality.

The sapphires are set in 18K yellow gold, a metal choice that provides both robust wearability and a warm color contrast that complements the bluish green tones of the gems. The setting design is a classic four prong basket with a post and butterfly back that secures the stones while allowing maximum light access through the pavilion and around the girdle, so the stones can breathe and perform without being visually obstructed by excessive metal. For the educated buyer the combination of natural Ceylon origin, vivid saturation, eye clean clarity at eye level, no enhancement, and a mixed brilliant cut represents a convergence of attributes that command a premium relative to treated or heavily included material, and these earrings deliver that combination in a compact, elegantly wearable form. The Natural Sapphire Company sources and matches sapphire pairs to these standards, and this design is intended for collectors and connoisseurs who value traceable origin, uncompromised natural color, and thoughtful cutting that prioritizes light performance. For care simply avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners if stones are mounted, clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and have prong settings inspected periodically so the gems retain their ability to capture and reflect light as brilliantly as the day they were set.
