Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 3.05 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This 3.05 carat asscher octagon sapphire began its story deep within the alluvial soils of Ceylon, where careful hands and generations of miners first uncovered its bluish green heart, the color that gives the gem its quiet personality. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, this stone measures 7.38 x 7.26 x 5.84 mm and has been gently heat treated to stabilize and enrich its hue, a traditional and widely accepted practice for Ceylon sapphires. At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace that journey from mine to atelier, and our cutters respected the stone by choosing an asscher cut that preserves transparency and reveals the gem’s inner architecture, allowing the square, stepped facets to form concentric, mirror like planes. The finished ring is set in warm 18K yellow gold, flanked by white half moon natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.30 carats in total, graded VS1 and VS2 with a color of F, where those bright, curved accents cradle the central stone and provide a classical, refined silhouette.

When it comes to light performance, the asscher step cut tells a different story than brilliant cuts, and understanding that difference helps you picture this ring on the hand. Step cuts like the asscher emphasize broad, dramatic flashes of light and the gem’s intrinsic color and clarity, producing a hall of mirrors effect that shifts with each movement, rather than the constant scintillation and fire you see in round brilliant and brilliant modified cuts. Compared to an emerald cut, the asscher often presents a squarer, more architectural profile with a higher crown and deeper pavilion that yields slightly more internal sparkle while still maintaining the step cut’s elegant planes. Versus brilliant cuts such as round or cushion, the asscher will show less dispersion and pinpoint sparkle, but it will reward the wearer with bold flashes, strong depth of color, and a vintage inspired presence. The half moon diamonds are selected to introduce crisp scintillation at the shoulders, their lively pinpoint flashes partnering the asscher’s broader light plays to create a balanced interplay of color and brilliance. This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company is therefore ideal for the collector who values the sapphire’s natural color and clarity, and who prefers a composed, architectural light performance that stands apart from high glitter, high fire styles.
