Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 3.24 Ct., Platinum 950

From the heart of Madagascar, where ancient rivers and shifting earth have long whispered secrets to those who listen, this sapphire began its journey as a fragment of deep time, buried and forged by pressure and patience. In the alluvial plains and highland pockets of that island, sapphires of unique hues emerge, carrying within them the mineral history of their birthplace. This particular stone, a transparent bluish green sapphire weighing 3.24 carats and cut into a cushion shape, measures 8.02 x 7.26 x 5.76 mm, and it displays an intense color saturation that reads like a memory of ocean and forest entwined. Mined from Madagascar, the gem bears the fingerprints of the land, and even small internal features that give it a soul are described by its clarity grade of Very Slightly Included, evaluated at eye level, a trait that confirms the natural story of the stone rather than obscuring it.

After its extraction, the sapphire was entrusted to cutters who balanced science and artistry, choosing a mixed brilliant cut that optimizes both flash and depth, and that allows the bluish green color to live fully within each facet. The gem received a careful heat treatment, a widely accepted enhancement that enhances tone and clarity without altering the identity of the stone, and was given an excellent polish so that each facet reflects light with confident clarity. Flanking this center sapphire are two white half moon shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.40 carats in total, graded Very Slightly Included, VS1, VS2, with a color grade of F, each diamond chosen to act as a companion rather than a rival, to lift the center stone with a quiet, bright halo. The entire composition is set in 14K white gold, chosen for its cool counterpoint to the gem, and for its enduring strength as the metal that will hold this story through a lifetime of wear.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we shape this shared history into something personal, working with master setters to cradle the cushion sapphire in four prongs that allow light to enter and animate the color, while the half moon diamonds are nested in the shoulders so they support the center stone in both sight and meaning. The ring’s band is tapered and refined, a frame that speaks of restraint and intention, crafted so that the center keeps its place beneath the eye yet above the everyday. The result is a piece that feels like a conversation between land and craft, a promise held in metal and stone. The combination of a strong, transparent 3.24 carat center, the precise dimensions of 8.02 x 7.26 x 5.76 mm, the mixed brilliant cut, and the complementary half moon diamonds creates a balanced silhouette that reads as both modern and timeless.

For a significant life event, this ring is more than a selection, it is a message. It makes an evocative engagement piece for someone who treasures depth of color over traditional expectations, a refined anniversary gift that marks growth and renewal, or a milestone present that remembers origins while celebrating a shared future. The sapphire’s bluish green hue can symbolize the steadiness of the sea and the promise of new growth, the half moon diamonds add a whisper of brilliance that catches the eye without shouting, and the 14K white gold band offers daily durability. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, it is a thoughtful heirloom ready to be given, worn, and someday passed on, a trusted companion through years of moments both ordinary and extraordinary.
