Antique Style Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 2.99 Ct., 14K White Gold

At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish gemstones as living relics of the earth, and this ring is a quiet testament to that belief. At its center sits a beautifully transparent bluish green sapphire, weighing 2.99 carats, cut in an elegant emerald shape with precise dimensions of 9.84 by 6.45 by 4.38 millimeters. The stone is eye clean when examined at normal viewing distance, and it displays vivid color saturation with an excellent polish that lets light glide across its long step facets. This Ceylon sapphire has been heat treated, a time honored and stable enhancement used for centuries to reveal the truest depth of color within the rough, and it rests proudly in a setting of 14 karat white gold that was chosen to enhance the cool, green blue tone of the gem. Flanking the center stone are straight baguette shaped natural diamonds, carefully selected for their E color and Very Slightly Included clarity grades of VS1 and VS2, in groupings of approximately 0.36 carats, 0.16 carats, and 0.10 carats, for a total diamond weight of approximately 0.62 carats, a classical arrangement that balances presence with refinement.

The story of a Ceylon sapphire stretches across centuries of trade routes and royal treasuries, and the history of Sri Lankan mines gives this ring an instant link to that past. Sri Lanka has been called a source of the finest sapphires since antiquity, a place where gem bearing alluvial gravels have yielded stones treasured by kings, explorers, and jewelers alike. The bluish green hue of this example is a subtle variation within that long tradition, recalling verdant island landscapes kissed by the ocean, a color that has appealed to connoisseurs seeking something both rare and quietly distinctive. The emerald cut itself is steeped in its own lineage, born from the era of classic cutters who prized clarity and architectural beauty. Its long, linear facets create a hall of mirrors effect that reveals the inner life of the stone, a facet design that has been favored by collectors and lovers of tradition because it allows the gem to read as both jewel and object of contemplation.

In design, the ring speaks to a desire for permanence and refined restraint, qualities that make it well suited to become an heirloom. The emerald cut sapphire presents its color with dignity, allowing the vivid saturation to be appreciated without distraction, while the baguette diamonds step down from the center in graduated precision to accentuate the central plane of the stone. Each baguette is chosen for its straight, clean lines, and the combined E color and VS clarity ensure a cool white flash that frames the sapphire without competing for attention. The choice of 14 karat white gold is deliberate, offering a durable setting that harmonizes with the cool blue green of the sapphire and the icy gleam of the diamonds. Every element, from the prong work that lifts the center stone to the gallery detail that permits light to enter from below, is executed with a reverence for classical jewelry making, and with the exacting standards that collectors expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.

Beyond features and measurements, this ring carries the kind of value that only comes from connection to place and tradition, and from careful human hands shaping a design meant to endure. A sapphire such as this is more than an adornment, it is a bridge between past and future, a gem that will gather the memory of the wearer as it passes from one hand to another. Whether presented to mark a personal milestone, to celebrate an anniversary, or to begin a new family story, the ring is designed to accompany the wearer over years and decades, gaining character but never losing its essential beauty.
