Antique Style Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 3.00 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 3.00 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire, meticulously proportioned at 8.00 by 6.26 by 5.94 millimeters, exhibiting the clean geometric lines that define the emerald cut. The step faceting of the crown and pavilion yields broad, parallel facets that emphasize depth of color and internal clarity rather than scintillation, offering a hall of mirrors effect that changes with viewing angle. The sapphire shows vivid color saturation, a balanced bluish green that is lively under direct light and retains depth in softer illumination, a characteristic that the emerald cut showcases effectively. The stone has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves color uniformity without compromising structural integrity, and it has been given an excellent polish to maximize facet crispness and edge definition.

Clarity has been graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means the stone reads as visually clean to a naked eye observer while retaining natural internal character under magnification. The emerald cut, with its large table and step facets, makes clarity a critical factor in overall appearance, because inclusions can lie within the broad planes and become more visible when present. In this example the inclusions are minimal and positioned so as not to interrupt the primary color planes, allowing the vivid saturation to dominate the visual field. The proportions of length, width, and depth produce a rectangular outline with a substantial pavilion depth that enhances color concentration, creating a saturated tone without appearing overly dark or closed. The excellent polish ensures that facet junctions are sharp, which improves the crisp reflection patterns typical of a well executed emerald cut.

The mounting is executed in 18 karat white gold, chosen for its neutral backdrop that allows the bluish green sapphire to read with optimal color fidelity. The sapphire is secured in a classic four prong head, the prongs shaped and polished to minimize visual obstruction of the table while providing robust mechanical security. An open gallery and pierced basket are employed to permit light ingress from multiple directions, enhancing the perceived color and allowing the pavilion to interact with light more effectively. The shoulders are accented with white round natural diamonds, supplied in small calibrated sizes approximately 0.03 carats, 0.02 carats, and 0.015 carats, with clarity graded VS and color graded F to G. These accent diamonds are precision set in the shank, their small size and high clarity offering fine sparkling contrast along the profile, while the F to G color grade ensures minimal color interference against the 18 karat white gold setting. The diamond work is uniformly matched by hand setting and finished with an excellent polish, maintaining symmetry and consistent orientation of each stone in the shoulder row.

The overall design balances a timeless silhouette with technical decisions that favor longevity, wearability, and gem presentation, qualities that embody the approach of The Natural Sapphire Company. The emerald cut center offers a classic and restrained elegance, its architectural form well suited to both solitary wear and pairing with a complementary band. The combination of vivid bluish green color, carefully managed clarity, and a white gold setting with calibrated diamond accents produces a ring that is at once refined and durable. From a craftsmanship perspective, the piece demonstrates controlled facet geometry, secure prong engineering, and precision micro setting for the shoulder diamonds, all executed to retain the gemological virtues of the sapphire while presenting a design language that is enduring. For buyers seeking technical detail and classical proportions, this ring presents a considered choice, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is available to provide further gemological information, measurements for custom sizing, and photographic documentation upon request.
