Solitaire Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.11 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company features a rare and transparent bluish green sapphire weighing 1.11 carat, an emerald cut that emphasizes clarity and geometry, and proportions that read as refined and elegant. The stone measures 5.81 by 5.19 by 3.82 millimeters, a compact yet confidently sized gemstone that sits beautifully on the finger without overwhelming the hand. Clarity is graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which means that the stone presents no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, allowing the turquoise to teal tonal range to read clean and pure. Color saturation is medium intense, a balance that offers richness without drifting into overly dark tones, and the polish is excellent, creating crisp facet junctions and a bright step facet glow. Importantly, the sapphire is completely natural with no enhancement, and it is sourced from Tanzania, a locality known for producing sapphires with attractive and distinct green to blue green hues. For an educated buyer who values natural origin and integrity, these factors combine to create a sapphire that is both gemologically interesting and visually versatile.

The emerald cut is a classical choice that changes how light interacts with color and clarity. Rather than relying on a brilliant cut to scatter light, the step facets of an emerald cut produce broad flashes and a hall of mirrors effect, which makes color tone and clarity the dominant visual traits. With this sapphire, the medium intense saturation and eye clean clarity take full advantage of the cut, so the color appears even and the internal character of the stone is showcased rather than masked. The excellent polish enhances facet reflections and sharpness, giving a clean, architectural look to each plane of the gem. From a connoisseurs perspective, the absence of enhancement elevates the stone, because the color and clarity are expressions of natural formation and crystal chemistry, rather than human intervention. Origin matters to many collectors and designers, and Tanzanian sapphires are appreciated for their often unique and complex colors that can shift slightly under different lighting. This combination of natural origin, no treatment, and a classical emerald cut creates a sapphire that will appeal to buyers who seek provenance, durability, and an aesthetic that reads both modern and timeless.

The ring setting itself is crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, a warm metal that creates a pleasing contrast with the bluish green hue of the sapphire. The design reads as a refined solitaire with a secure prong setting and a clean, polished band that is slim enough to remain delicate yet substantial enough for daily wear. The setting lifts the emerald cut stone slightly above the band, allowing light to enter from beneath and maximizing the step facet reflections, while the open gallery preserves the gem feeling of depth and dimension. Styling wise, the warm yellow gold enhances the green and blue tones, so the ring pairs naturally with neutrals, earth tones, and classic blacks and whites for a sophisticated daytime look. For evening wear it complements metallics and deeper tones, where the sapphire will glow against richer fabrics and under ambient light. The ring also layers exceptionally well with other bands because its slim profile keeps the composition balanced, and because the solitaire aesthetic reads as both formal and relaxed it is equally appropriate with a tailored suit or with casual weekend wear. For an educated buyer who values versatility, the combination of a medium intense bluish green sapphire and a warm gold setting provides an effortless way to enhance an outfit without overpowering it.

From a practical and investment viewpoint, this ring offers several points of strength. The sapphire is a durable stone suitable for everyday wear, and the 14 karat gold setting provides a good balance of strength and wearability. The unenhanced Tanzanian origin adds both rarity and provenance, which are qualities that collectors and buyers appreciate when evaluating long term value. At The Natural Sapphire Company we provide detailed information on origin, clarity, treatment status, and exact measurements so that buyers can make informed decisions based on objective gemological criteria. For care, routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is recommended, and periodic checks of the prongs will ensure the stone remains secure.

For those who prefer bespoke options, our team can advise on alternate mountings or complementary bands. Overall this ring balances gemological transparency, elegant design, and everyday versatility, making it an excellent choice for anyone who values craftsmanship, provenance, and understated style.
