Pave Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.12 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From the moment the bluish green sapphire first revealed itself beneath African soils, this gem began a journey that connects earth, artisan, and wearer. Buried in ancient rock, it grew slowly over millennia, taking on the deep, oceanic tones that set it apart. Miners and local hands recognized its promise, and with care the rough was brought to light, each speck of dust washed away, each natural aspect respected. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that origin story, tracing the stone from its African source through every step of selection, so that the heart of the land remains present in the finished piece. There is a quiet dignity to a sapphire that has lived through time, and in this pear shaped 1.12 carat gem, measuring 7.09 by 5.65 by 3.74 millimeters, you see a record of geology and patience. Its surface first hinted at color and life, and those hints guided master cutters who would unfold its inner fire.

The transformation from rough to faceted marvel is where skill and soul meet. This sapphire was given a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that balances scintillation and depth, and that decision was made to celebrate both light and tone. Under the loupe it reads as eye clean when examined at eye level, a clarity that feels like a clear memory, unclouded and true. The intense color saturation speaks of seaside forests and twilight waters, a palette that seems to move as you tilt the stone, catching and holding light with an excellent polish that makes each facet a small window. Heat treatment was applied to bring harmony and stability to the hue, a standard and honest enhancement that allows the gem to show its best self while preserving its natural character. Set in 18K yellow gold, the pear silhouette is cradled by purposeful prongs that lift it toward the light, while the warmed tone of the gold deepens the sapphire s bluish green and creates a welcoming glow against the skin.

Surrounding the center stone are white round natural diamonds that act as storytellers of light, each one chosen for quality and conversation with the sapphire. Two larger side stones, weighing approximately 0.24 carats, offer clarity graded Very Slightly Included, with grades identified as VS1 and VS2, and with a color grade of E that brings a cool, crystalline contrast against the warm gold and the deep sapphire tone. Smaller accent diamonds, totaling approximately 0.09 carats, carry clarity graded VS and a color grade between F and G, placed along the shoulders in a ribbon like twist that draws the eye inward toward the pear. Each diamond was selected for its personality, and set to catch morning and evening light alike, so that every glance becomes a small ceremony. The combined effect is one of balance and movement, a ring that reads as both finely detailed and wholly harmonious, where the sparkle of diamonds frames the calm, complex depth of the sapphire.

This ring is more than an object, it is a vessel for memory and meaning, designed to mark a threshold or to commemorate a moment that matters. The pear shape has long been read as a symbol of tears of joy, of a single drop of water, of a flame tending upward, and it carries with it a quiet eloquence for engagements, anniversaries, milestones, or simply the choice to honor oneself. Wearing this piece is like wearing a small story, one that begins in African soil and continues in daily life. Crafted by hands that understand gemstone temperament and finished by artisans who respect proportion and comfort, the ring becomes an heirloom in the making. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind this journey, offering not just a beautiful object, but stewardship of the gem s narrative. When you choose this ring, you place a moment into a form that endures, a celebration that can be passed forward, a memory that will catch the light, again and again.
