Antique Style Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 2.81 Ct., Platinum 950

Beneath the ancient soils of Ceylon, where monsoon rains and slow shifting tectonics have been shaping the earth for millennia, this sapphire began its quiet life. Deep within metamorphic rock, aluminium and trace elements combined under intense heat and pressure to grow a crystal whose color would one day whisper of tropical seas and shaded jungle pools. Generations of Sri Lankan miners have learned to read the land, following subtle signs where gem bearing veins approach the surface. When the rough of this stone was finally recovered it carried with it not only mineral growth but the layered history of its place of origin, a history of island trade and royal patronage that made Ceylon sapphire a name spoken with reverence across continents. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that lineage by selecting only those stones that tell a story in their color and form, stones that require our hand only to reveal the beauty that nature has already written.

What you see at the heart of the ring is a transparent 2.81 carat oval bluish green sapphire, measuring 9.11 x 7.47 x 5.03 mm, faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to marry table and pavilion facets for both depth and scintillation. The gem shows a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is a testament to its natural character and the authenticity of its origin. Color sits at a deep, dark saturation that gives the sapphire a brooding presence, while an excellent polish allows light to move across its surface with refined ease. This sapphire bears no enhancement, no heat treatment and no foreign intervention, so its hue, internal story, and its manner of light return are the direct expression of the conditions that formed it. Minimal enhancement is the guiding philosophy behind this gem, because when a stone of such natural quality arrives intact, the finest work of the cutter and setter is to preserve and celebrate rather than to change.

Set in warm 18K white gold, the sapphire is framed by a halo and accents of white round natural diamonds that together weigh approximately 0.288 carats, and additional white round diamonds weighing approximately 0.072 carats, all chosen for their bright color and clear VS clarity. The diamonds’ color grades of F and G provide a luminous contrast that lifts the bluish green center and adds fire without competing with the sapphire’s unique tone. Look closely and you will notice the delicate filigree gallery and hand finished prongs that cradle the oval, work that speaks to a workshop tradition of careful handcrafting. At The Natural Sapphire Company our jewelers create settings that echo the gem’s natural story, ensuring the metalwork breathes light up into the stone and reveals its depth and nuance with every gesture. This ring is more than a piece of jewelry, it is a conversation between earth and artisan, a Ceylon born sapphire that required only subtle human touch to become an heirloom quality ring. If you seek a gem whose beauty is fundamentally natural, whose journey from rock to ring is honest and traceable, this piece answers that desire with quiet grace.
