Pave Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.43 Ct., Platinum 950

A whisper of the ocean captured at the very heart of a ring, this pear shaped bluish green sapphire presents itself as a rare and refined expression of taste, offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company. Weighing 1.43 carats and measuring 8.64 by 6.18 by 3.46 millimeters, the stone is expertly fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that amplifies its intense color saturation and lively scintillation. Evaluated as eye clean at standard viewing distance and finished with an excellent polish, this sapphire arrives to you in its natural state with no enhancement, a pure testament to Madagascar provenance and to the confidence of connoisseurship. Flanking the center are white round shaped accent diamonds, both lab grown and natural, selected for their bright F color grades and excellent clarity characteristics, with the lab grown melee weighing approximately 0.071 carats with Very Slightly Included grades VS1 and VS2, and the natural rounds totaling approximately 0.105 carats in Very Slightly Included clarity and F and G color. The entire composition is rendered in 18 karat white gold, a warm yet modern setting that cradles the pear silhouette with a gallery and prong configuration designed as much for protection as for poetry.

When considering daily wear, durability is the measure that separates a jewel from an heirloom, and on that measure this sapphire performs exceptionally. Corundum, the mineral species to which sapphire belongs, ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond at ten, which makes it remarkably resistant to surface abrasion and everyday scratches. This intrinsic hardness ensures that the pavilion and table retain crisp facets and sustained polish through the rhythms of life, from desk to dinner. Toughness is a separate quality from hardness, and sapphires are known for their favorable toughness, lacking true cleavage and resisting catastrophic splitting under normal wear. The pear shape does require mindful mounting at the tip, because tapered points are more exposed to impacts, and that is why the setting you see here employs secure prongs and a raised gallery to shelter the vulnerable apex. The mixed brilliant cut further contributes to resilience by balancing facet geometry for both brilliance and consistent light return, preventing localized stress points that can occur in more extreme facet arrangements. The accompanying diamonds, whether lab grown or natural, share diamond hardness and act as enduring accents that will not abrade the sapphire, so the ring reads as a cohesive ensemble engineered for daily presence.

Practical stewardship ensures this jewel remains a signal of achievement for a lifetime. With its unenhanced Madagascar sapphire, routine cleaning in warm soapy water and a soft brush is both safe and effective, and for deeper cleaning professional ultrasonic services are generally acceptable for corundum when the stone is natural and untreated, although we advise consultation with our specialists before any aggressive treatment. Remove the ring for heavy manual tasks, vigorous sports, and exposure to abrasive chemicals such as household bleach or concentrated acids, and be mindful that 18 karat white gold, while enduring and luxuriously finished, will benefit from occasional rhodium maintenance to preserve its bright white appearance. Annual inspections are recommended to confirm prong integrity and the secure seating of both the center sapphire and the surrounding diamonds, a simple precaution that preserves value and beauty. At The Natural Sapphire Company we consider each ring an invitation to a life lived well, and this pear shaped bluish green sapphire, with its vivid color, eye clean clarity, and meticulous setting in 18 karat white gold, is crafted to reward everyday wear with lasting performance, offering an emblem of refinement that grows only more meaningful with time.
