Antique Style Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.02 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.02 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire, dimensions 5.60 millimeters by 5.29 millimeters by 3.92 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a faceted crown designed for scintillation with a pavilion architecture optimized for depth of tone and return of light, clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level while polish is excellent, and the medium color saturation and Madagascar origin contribute to a distinctive, natural hue with balanced saturation and tone. The mixed brilliant configuration places smaller star and kite facets on the crown to enhance pinpoint brilliance, while the modified pavilion facets reduce windowing and reinforce color saturation, the excellent polish yields crisp facet junctions that function as high fidelity mirrors, allowing internal facet reflections to remain sharp and uninterrupted despite the presence of small natural inclusions. Because the stone measures modestly across the table and has a controlled pavilion depth, the cutting geometry favors even light distribution which mitigates the visual impact of the slight inclusions and preserves transparency, this is especially important for bluish green stones where subtle shifts in light path alter perceived chroma.

The setting in 14K yellow gold has been engineered to showcase the sapphire color and clarity while providing secure and unobtrusive support, a four prong head positions minimal metal at the table perimeter to maximize the viewer sightline through the crown while the open gallery and elevated seat allow abundant light entry into the pavilion from below, this undergallery clearance enhances light return and heightens the stone apparent brightness. The warm hue of 14K yellow gold provides a controlled contrast that lifts the bluish green tone, increasing apparent saturation without overpowering the stone, hand engraving and refined shoulder profiles direct peripheral reflections back into the gem, producing subtle secondary flashes that animate the core color. At The Natural Sapphire Company we balance technical cutting principles and goldsmithing, the result is a ring where the chosen faceting, pavilion exposure, prong geometry, and metal color work together to optimize perceived color intensity and transparency, the setting protects the stone and at the same time reveals its best optical behavior for knowledgeable buyers who appreciate precise craftsmanship.
