Pave Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.78 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.78 carat asscher octagon sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, presented with precise dimensions 6.52 x 5.99 x 4.62 mm, and a traditional step cut. The asscher meets the technical expectations of a classic step faceting scheme, with concentric crown and pavilion steps that emphasize square symmetry and produce a hall of mirrors effect when viewed face up. The truncated corners preserve the octagonal geometry and increase durability along the girdle, while the generous table and exacting facet junctions allow the vivid bluish green saturation to read consistently across the crown. Clarity is graded as eye clean at normal viewing distance, and the stone exhibits an excellent polish, which together minimize surface disruption and maximize internal light return. The result is a stone that combines the architectural crispness of step cutting with lively color depth typical of fine Ceylon material.

The mounting is crafted in 14K yellow gold, and the design balances refined aesthetics with engineered security for peace of mind. The center sapphire is secured in a four prong basket with reinforced shoulders and precision milled seats, ensuring the pavilion girdle sits fully supported with prong tips burnished to a close and durable bite. The shank is set with matched white round natural diamonds, approximately 0.15 carats in one grouping, and approximately 0.48 carats in a second grouping, each diamond graded VS clarity and F G color, and set using tight pavé and bead techniques to limit lateral movement while preserving maximum brilliance. All settings are finished by hand to smooth any potential snag points, and each stone is checked and tension tested during production. The Natural Sapphire Company applies rigorous inspection protocols to confirm secure stone retention and long term wearability, offering technical assurance to collectors who value both fine gem material and meticulous craftsmanship.
