Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 3.41 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a certified bluish green sapphire weighing 3.41 carats, cut in a classic emerald cut, with dimensions 9.05 by 6.73 by 5.06 millimeters, originating from Madagascar. The stone is transparent and evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distances, exhibiting vivid color saturation and an excellent polish. The emerald cut is executed with true step facets, a broad table and well proportioned crown and pavilion geometry, a faceting arrangement that emphasizes the richness of color and the stone transparency rather than scintillation. Because the step cut produces long, linear flashes of light and internal luster, the deep bluish green hue reads with depth and uniformity across the table, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and minimal surface disturbance. The no enhancement status of the sapphire confirms that the color and clarity are entirely natural, which is important for collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize untreated material. The stone sits in a classic four prong setting that secures each corner of the emerald cut, preserving the clean outline of the geometry and allowing optimal light interaction through the pavilion.

Flanking the central sapphire are white tapered baguette diamonds totaling approximately 0.34 carats, selected for their near colorless E grade and Very Slightly Included clarity grades VS1 and VS2. The tapered baguette shape is chosen to mirror the linear emphasis of the emerald cut, their elongated step facets reinforcing the directional play of light from the center stone to the band. Each side stone is hand set in a low profile bar style that aligns the girdles with the ring shank, producing a smooth visual gradient from the central stone to the metal. The precision of the baguette cuts and the tightness of their setting are critical, because tapered baguettes require exact parallelism and consistent facet planes to maintain optical continuity and to avoid light leakage. The E color grade ensures a cool white appearance next to the bluish green sapphire, preserving high contrast and crisp transitional edges between color and white light, while the VS clarity grades indicate inclusions that are minute and not detectable without magnification, maintaining clean visual lines at face up view.

The mounting is crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, selected to provide a warm metal tone that complements and enriches the bluish green body color of the sapphire. The yellow gold hue interacts with the stone by reflecting subtle warm tones into the pavilion and undergallery, which can deepen the perceived richness of the green while still allowing the sapphire to read as bluish green rather than purely green. The shank is engineered with a proportional thickness to balance comfort with structural integrity, supporting the weight and prong tension required for the 3.41 carat emerald cut. The gallery is open beneath the pavilion to permit light entry and facilitate cleaning, while the prongs are tapered and burnished for security and minimal profile, reducing snag risk without obscuring the stone corners. All metal surfaces are finished to a high gloss polish, and all settings are hand inspected and adjusted to ensure precise alignment of the baguette shoulders and the center prongs. The craftsmanship approach emphasizes longevity and serviceability, allowing routine maintenance such as prong reflow or rhodium touch up on request.

This design is intentionally versatile, performing beautifully as a solitary statement ring or as part of a stacked arrangement. Worn alone, the emerald cut sapphire and tapered baguette shoulders present a symmetrical, architectural silhouette that reads as refined and formal, ideal for those who prefer a single, strong focal gem. The relatively low profile and slim shank allow the ring to sit comfortably beneath a wedding band or alongside multiple slim stacking bands, enabling combinations with plain gold bands, diamond pavé bands, or textured metal rings. When stacked, the linear geometry of the emerald cut and the tapered baguettes align cleanly with straight edged bands, producing an orderly stacked aesthetic, while a slightly rounded or domed band can soften the overall stack for a more casual look. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can advise on complementary band widths and transition stones to achieve balanced proportions, and because the sapphire is untreated and stable, it is well suited to everyday wear with normal care. For longevity, we recommend periodic professional inspection, gentle cleaning with a soft brush, warm water and mild soap, and avoidance of abrasive chemicals, and our team is available to discuss custom sizing or matching bands to complete a personalized set.
