Solitaire Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.03 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.03 carat asscher octagon sapphire, a bluish green gem with precise dimensions of 6.09 by 5.83 by 3.12 millimeters, asscher cut to emphasize step facets and internal depth. The sapphire displays intense color saturation and an excellent polish, attributes that lend a clear and vivid presence to the stone. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, a grade that indicates superb visual purity while retaining natural origin characteristics. The sapphire is unenhanced, with no treatments applied, and it originates from Tanzania, a source known for producing richly colored, well formed sapphires. These gemological details are presented to reflect the gem quality and to provide factual information that supports an informed purchase decision.

The mounting is crafted entirely in 14 karat yellow gold, a choice that complements the warm undertones present in the bluish green hue and provides enduring metal strength for everyday wear. The design is clean and measured, with a classic four corner prong arrangement that complements the cropped corners of the asscher octagon shape. The prongs align with the stone corners to secure the girdle while preserving the geometric integrity of the cut, and the head sits on a proportioned gallery that balances light circulation with stability. The band transitions subtly into the head with tapered shoulders that distribute stress and provide additional support, resulting in a silhouette that reads as refined and structurally sound. Overall finishing is smooth and well polished, consistent with the excellent polish grade of the center sapphire.

Security of the gemstone setting has been a deliberate focus in the construction of this ring, providing peace of mind for regular wear. The four corner prongs are formed with sufficient mass and are burnished down to engage the girdle firmly, creating a mechanical lock that resists lateral movement. The prong heads are rounded and smoothly finished to reduce the potential for catching, and the gallery and basket beneath the pavilion are designed to cradle the stone and minimize exposure to leverage. The seat for the sapphire is cut to match the stone profile precisely so that the gem sits flush and even, reducing the tendency for rotation or lift. These aspects of the setting are complemented by professional setting techniques and quality control checks that include visual inspection and tactile confirmation of stone security, ensuring that the stone remains stable without the need for excessive metal coverage that would compromise the asscher cut display.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this ring as an example of well considered gem and mounting pairing, where provenance and craftsmanship are both apparent. The unenhanced Tanzanian sapphire offers natural color and traceable origin, while the 14 karat yellow gold setting is executed to provide both aesthetic harmony and reliable security. This combination suits an engagement setting or a distinguished statement piece intended for frequent wear, and it benefits from periodic care that includes gentle cleaning and occasional professional inspection to maintain prong integrity. For customers seeking a precise description of the gem and setting, the provided specifications and the emphasis on a secure seat for the sapphire are intended to support confidence in the purchase, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the quality and workmanship inherent in this piece.
