Celtic Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.30 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent, 1.30 carat, pear shape, bluish green sapphire that immediately commands attention for its combination of size, color, and clarity. The stone measures 8.47 by 6.17 by 3.46 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut balances a faceting scheme that promotes scintillation from the pavilion with a bright, lively table. At eye level the sapphire is graded as eye clean, meaning there are no inclusions visible to the unaided eye under normal viewing conditions, which maximizes apparent transparency and light return. The sapphire displays vivid color saturation, a deep and appealing bluish green hue that reads differently as it catches the light, shifting between rich teal tones and deeper green depending on viewing angle and illumination. The polish has been evaluated as excellent, so the facet junctions and surfaces are smooth and reflective, which enhances brilliance and lends a refined finish to the gem surface. This sapphire has undergone a routine heat treatment, a widely accepted enhancement in the trade that improves color and clarity in natural sapphires without altering their fundamental identity, and the gem is sourced from Africa, a region known for producing stones with strong color concentration and stable crystal structure.

The setting is crafted entirely in 14K yellow gold, chosen to complement and elevate the bluish green of the sapphire, and to provide a warm, contrasting backdrop that accentuates the stone rather than competing with it. The pear silhouette is set north to south in a classic prong mounting that lifts the gem slightly above the band, allowing light to enter from multiple directions and emphasizing the tapered outline of the pear shape. The gallery and shoulders display delicate, flowing metalwork that guides the eye inward toward the center stone, with open spaces beneath the pavilion that increase backlighting and deepen the perceived saturation when worn. The mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire benefits from this exposure, as the crown facets disperse highlight reflections while the lower facets return color and depth, creating a dynamic interplay that draws attention to the heart of the ring. The prong placement is engineered to secure the stone while remaining visually discreet, ensuring that the pavilion and crown remain the visual focus, and the 14K yellow gold band is profiled to balance durability with elegance so daily wear does not compromise the aesthetic effect.

For the educated buyer, this ring offers several attributes that support its value proposition. The combination of a 1.30 carat weight with an eye clean clarity grade and vivid saturation is uncommon and therefore desirable, particularly in a natural sapphire from Africa, where material of this character is increasingly sought after. The mixed brilliant cut is selected to optimize both brilliance and color, making the gem versatile in different lighting conditions and suitable for someone who values both optical performance and rich hue. Heat treatment disclosure is transparent, and this treatment is industry standard, performed to improve visual properties without compromising the structural integrity of the corundum. The choice of 14K yellow gold provides a classic, historically resonant setting that pairs especially well with greenish blue tones, creating a visually balanced piece that reads as sophisticated rather than trendy. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize source, treatment disclosure, and cutting quality, because these factors matter to collectors and connoisseurs who assess value on the basis of natural origin, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty. This ring is a considered purchase for someone seeking a statement center stone that performs visually, holds its character over time, and is supported by a setting designed to highlight the gem in everyday wear. Care recommendations include periodic professional cleaning and inspection of the prong settings to maintain optimal light performance and security, ensuring that the sapphire continues to captivate attention for years to come.
