Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.09 Ct., 10K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent, cushion shape bluish green sapphire weighing 1.09 carat, with precise dimensions of 7.09 x 5.22 x 3.04 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth. The mixed brilliant faceting places a modified brilliant crown above a pavilion that incorporates both brilliant and step elements, producing strong light return without sacrificing the deep color that defines the gem. At eye level the stone is graded eye clean, and its excellent polish and well controlled facet junctions yield crisp facet reflections and minimal windowing. The intense saturation of the sapphire enhances the bluish green tonal range, and the pavilion geometry has been calibrated to concentrate color while preserving brightness, so the stone presents a lively play of teal and blue green under variable light. Origin information traces the sapphire to Africa, and the combination of measured proportions, symmetry and polish demonstrates expert lapidary control, resulting in a center gem that reads both vibrant and transparent when mounted.

Flanking the center sapphire are white tapered baguette natural diamonds, with a combined approximate weight of 0.08 carat, clarity Very Slightly Included, graded VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F. The tapered baguette geometry introduces a step cut vocabulary to the design, with elongated facets that emphasize linear contrast and directional light flow adjacent to the mixed brilliant center. Their narrow broader taper is selected to visually extend the sapphire along the axis of the shank, while the step facets provide a restrained flash that frames rather than competes with the central scintillation. The F color grade ensures near colorless white contrast against the yellow gold, and the VS clarity grading indicates inclusive features that are practically invisible without magnification, preserving visual purity. Attention to facet alignment, pavilion depths and precise table proportions in these side diamonds ensures even brightness and matched visual weight, and the interface between diamond girdles and the metalwork has been executed to minimize light leakage and to secure stable seating.

The mounting and metalwork are executed entirely in 14K yellow gold, chosen for its long term durability and resilient mechanical properties when crafted for everyday wear. Four robust prongs cradle the sapphire, the shoulders transition into securely set tapered baguettes, and the shank has been proportioned to resist bending and surface deformation while remaining comfortable for daily use. Fourteen karat gold offers a balanced alloy content, approximately 58.3 percent pure gold by mass, alloyed with harder metals to increase scratch resistance and tensile strength relative to higher karat yellow gold, so the piece maintains polished finish and structural integrity through normal wear and occasional knocks. The workmanship includes careful soldering of joints, consistent wall thickness in the band to prevent fatigue points, and a finish polish that both highlights the warm yellow tone and seals the surface against premature wear. For ownership longevity simple maintenance such as periodic inspection of prongs, professional cleaning and timely repair of any loose stones will preserve the settings and metal finish. At The Natural Sapphire Company we pair gemological precision with durable goldsmithing to deliver a ring that is both technically considered and ready for long term wear, offering refined optical performance from the center sapphire and stable, resilient construction from the 14K yellow gold setting.
