Solitaire Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 5.18 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From the riverbeds of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where gem gravels have been turned by hands and time for centuries, comes a sapphire that carries the island in its color. This cushion shaped bluish green sapphire weighs 5.18 carats, and measures 10.41 by 7.68 by 6.12 millimeters, its form cut to a mixed brilliant design that balances fire and depth. Transparent to the eye, with a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, this stone shows a vivid color saturation and an excellent polish that together reveal the story of heat, pressure, and the slow art of crystallization. No enhancement has been applied, which means the stone that left the earth is the stone you will wear, an honest and natural treasure. In Sri Lanka these colors were prized in ancient trade routes, and they continue to speak of tropical seas and monsoon skies, a connection to place that makes each sapphire a small piece of geological and cultural history.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that origin with careful hands and exacting craft, translating the sapphire into a ring that celebrates its natural beauty while offering everyday elegance. The gem is set in a sculpted 14K yellow gold mount, a warm embrace that intensifies the bluish green hue and adds a classic, luminous frame to the modern cushion shape. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to open the stone to light, and the excellent polish allows facets to play together so that flashes of brightness sit against deep, ocean like tones. The setting lifts the stone with four refined prongs, allowing light to enter the pavilion and exit through the crown, while the gallery is worked to provide both strength and a delicate profile. The ring was designed with respect for the sapphire's transparency and for the clarity that is visible to the eye, so the gem reads as both a signal of refined taste and as an unaltered marvel of nature.

Wearing this ring moves the story from the mine to the moment, from a Sri Lankan riverbed to everyday expression in our lives. Its silhouette in 14K yellow gold is at once bold and wearable, making it suitable for casual afternoons and for evenings when a single piece must hold its own. The 5.18 carat cushion sapphire has presence on the hand, without overwhelming, and the mixed brilliant cut ensures it will catch light whether beneath a cafe lamp or under gallery spotlights. Because sapphire ranks high on the hardness scale, this ring is resilient and suited to daily wear as well as to the careful rituals of formal occasions, making it a versatile companion for travel, celebration, and the quiet routines that shape our days. The warmth of the gold pairs beautifully with denim and white linen as it does with a tailored suit or an evening gown, creating a bridge between the spontaneous and the ceremonious.

If you are drawn to the idea of owning a gemstone that is both a natural artifact and a wearable story, this ring exemplifies that union. From its Ceylon origins to the skilled hands that set it in 14K yellow gold, every stage in its journey has been chosen to preserve authenticity, to showcase the vivid bluish green color, and to ensure comfortable, confident wear. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in presenting stones that are not enhanced, so you can feel the direct link to the earth with every glance. This ring invites you to become part of its narrative, to carry a piece of ancient geology forward, and to wear a gem that moves easily between the everyday and the exceptional.
