Solitaire Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.17 Ct., 10K White Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent 1.17 carat oval bluish green sapphire, with exact dimensions of 6.97 x 5.34 x 4.12 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance internal fire with overall light return. The mixed brilliant cut combines small step facets on the pavilion with brilliant facets on the crown, producing a lively scintillation while preserving depth and saturation of color, a combination that is particularly effective for oval shapes. The sapphire presents intense color saturation, and the finish is described as excellent polish, which indicates that light is returned cleanly from the table and facets, enhancing both brilliance and the perception of transparency. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, which for an educated buyer signals minimal surface or internal features that do not detract from visual performance, and that the stone reads as clean and lively in typical viewing conditions.

The origin of this sapphire is Madagascar, a source known for producing a wide range of fine sapphires with strong, attractive color and modern traceability. Madagascar gemstones often display complex and appealing coloration owing to local geological conditions and the presence of trace elements such as iron and titanium that interact to produce blue and green tones. For buyers who value provenance, the Madagascar origin places this sapphire within a contemporary supply context where material can often be traced back to named regions, which supports narratives of responsible sourcing when combined with supplier documentation. The Natural Sapphire Company provides detailed information about each gem we list, and we are available to discuss any additional documentation or laboratory reports that discerning buyers may wish to review.

The ring setting is executed entirely in 22K white gold, a high purity precious metal choice that offers a substantial gold content and a soft, satiny surface feel. A slender band and a classic four claw style setting lift the sapphire from the band in a manner that is both secure and visually light, allowing maximum exposure of the pavilion to incoming light, a practical feature for maintaining brilliance. The 22K white gold setting contributes to the ring aesthetic by offering a luminous backdrop that complements the bluish green tone without overwhelming it. From a workmanship perspective, the excellent polish on both the metal and the stone, along with precise prong work, indicates careful attention to finish and symmetry, which are important factors for long term wear and retained value.

Design inspiration for this ring draws from both natural forms and architectural clarity. The elevated four claw setting references classical architectural motifs, such as a colonnade that lifts and stages an important element, creating a sense of monumentality in miniature. At the same time the rounded oval sapphire and the smooth continuous band reference natural pebbles shaped by water and wind, a quiet organic sensibility that feels both refined and timeless. For an educated buyer who values gem quality and design coherence, this piece offers a harmonious blend of technical gem standards, transparent origin, and an elegant silhouette. Practical considerations for care should be noted, because 22K gold is relatively soft compared with lower karat alloys, periodic inspection of the prongs and gentle cleaning with warm water and a mild soap will preserve appearance, and The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on maintenance and recommended services to keep the ring secure and brilliant for many years.
