Accent Stones Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.56 Ct., 14K Rose Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.56 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire, presented with precise dimensions of 7.56 x 5.91 x 3.25 mm, a classic step cut, and an eye clean clarity when evaluated at eye level. The proportions of this stone were chosen to balance face up size with depth, resulting in a stone that reads larger than its weight might suggest, while retaining the integrity of its color and internal structure. The intense color saturation is a defining characteristic of the piece, and the excellent polish on each facet ensures that the stone presents its color evenly and vividly across the table and pavilion. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the celebrated color pedigree associated with the region, and the heat treated enhancement is a standard, stable, and widely accepted treatment used to refine color and clarity without compromising the gem’s natural origin or long term stability.

The emerald or step cut used for this sapphire optimizes light performance in a way that differs from brilliant cuts, and that distinction is precisely why collectors and discerning buyers value it. Rather than relying on a profusion of small facets to create scintillation, the step cut uses broad, parallel facets that act like mirrors, producing large, dramatic flashes of light and a hall of mirrors effect that emphasizes depth and tone. The long rectangular table allows light to enter deeply and reflect off well aligned facet planes, creating bold flashes of brilliance when the ring moves, and sustained internal reflections when it is viewed straight on. Excellent facet junctions and polish enhance these effects, improving contrast and enabling clean, crisp light return across the sapphire’s surface, while the eye clean clarity permits these internal reflections to travel unimpeded, preserving both brilliance and the stone’s vivid bluish green color.

Flanking the center sapphire are natural white marquise shaped diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 0.30 carats, graded Very Slightly Included in clarity ranging VS1 to VS2 and color F. The marquise profiles were selected to complement the rectangular center stone, their pointed tips aligning with the sapphire’s longer axis to create a cohesive visual flow, while their faceting pattern introduces high intensity sparkle to contrast with the sapphire’s broader flashes. The VS clarity grading means these diamonds exhibit minimal internal characteristics that are difficult to detect without magnification, allowing maximum sparkle and a bright white appearance that frames the center stone without competition. Set in 14K rose gold, the warm hue of the metal creates a subtle contrast that enriches the bluish green tones of the sapphire, and the rose gold’s reflective surface works with the diamonds’ fire to draw the eye toward the center gem.

From a connoisseur’s perspective, the combination of origin, cut, clarity, and setting speaks directly to value and longevity, and The Natural Sapphire Company presents this design to appeal to educated buyers who understand the importance of each attribute. The Ceylon origin is synonymous with lively, clean tones, and the eye clean grade ensures the step cut sapphire communicates its color without obstruction. The heat treatment applied is a permanent, stable enhancement that brings out the gem’s natural potential while preserving its identity and provenance. The ring’s craftsmanship, including secure prong work and an open gallery, enhances light return by permitting additional light to enter the pavilion and reflect back through the crown, amplifying perceived brilliance. For buyers seeking a piece that balances refined brilliance with color depth and clarity, this 1.56 carat emerald cut sapphire ring, set with marquise diamond accents in 14K rose gold, represents a thoughtful investment in both aesthetic presence and gemological quality.
