Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 3.66 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a 3.66 carat oval bluish green sapphire, precisely measured at 8.99 by 7.07 by 5.69 millimeters, presented in a double cabochon cut that yields a smooth domed surface on both the crown and the pavilion. The sapphire displays a vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, with clarity graded as eye clean when examined at normal viewing distance. The stone originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires with lively, clean tones, and has been stabilized through standard heat treatment, a widely accepted enhancement that improves color uniformity while preserving the natural character of the gem. These objective attributes provide a clear baseline for evaluating the stone, and the double cabochon geometry produces a concentrated internal glow and soft, even color distribution that responds to changes in ambient light with a subtle, luminous depth.

The mounting is executed in 14 karat yellow gold, chosen for its warm, complementary contrast to the bluish green heart of the sapphire. The design employs a continuous bezel that embraces the oval outline of the cabochon, forming a clean silhouette that both secures the stone and frames its shape with a minimal, refined profile. The bezel rises to form a shallow cup that follows the stone’s perimeter, offering protection for the high dome while allowing the visual center to remain unobstructed. Flanking the bezel on either shoulder are two white, round natural diamonds, each weighing approximately 0.05 carats, with clarity grades in the Very Slightly Included range, VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F. These diamonds are set in small, polished bezels integrated into the shoulder, positioned to capture and reflect light to the edges of the sapphire without competing with the central gem.

The architecture of the setting is deliberately restrained to enhance the cabochon’s presence. The full bezel provides a soft metal edge that accentuates the smooth curvature of the sapphire, while the under-gallery includes carefully placed openings that admit light to the pavilion area, allowing the cabochon to retain a luminous inner vitality despite the protective rim. The diamonds on the shoulders act as directional highlights, their high color and clarity creating points of white reflection that lead the viewer’s eye inward to the broader blue-green field of the sapphire. The shank is a comfortably rounded band with a gentle taper toward the stone, proportioned to support the bezel without appearing bulky. Polished to a mirror finish, the yellow gold enhances the warmer undertones in the sapphire and establishes a harmonious balance between metal and gemstone.

The overall execution reflects a focus on durability, daily wearability, and visual coherence. The bezel setting provides a secure seat for the double cabochon, reducing the risk of snagging while preserving the gem’s domed aesthetic. The placement and modest scale of the accent diamonds ensure that they augment perceived brightness and clarity around the sapphire, rather than diverting attention from it. All metalwork is performed to precise tolerances, ensuring the bezel meets the stone uniformly and the diamonds are set flush to the shoulders for long term stability. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this ring as an example of considered design meeting traditional craftsmanship, where material choices and setting geometry are intentionally aligned to showcase the sapphire’s vivid color, clean clarity, and polished surface while retaining practical wear characteristics. Care recommendations include routine cleaning with a soft brush, mild soap and water, and periodic professional inspection of the bezel and diamond settings to maintain optimal presentation and security.
