Accent Stones Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.51 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From a riverbed in Madagascar to the warmth of a 14K yellow gold band, this ring traces a journey that is as ethical as it is beautiful. The story begins where the earth yields its treasures, with a transparent, pear shape bluish green sapphire weighing 1.51 carat, measuring 7.96 x 5.73 x 4.09 millimeters, and cut with a mixed brilliant faceting to balance life and sparkle. Our gemologists at The Natural Sapphire Company encountered this sapphire in a community of small scale miners who work by hand and by care, miners who have partnered with our sourcing team to bring stones to market with traceability and respect for the land. This sapphire displays intense color saturation and an excellent polish, and it was enhanced by responsible heat treatment to bring out its best stable color. The clarity registers as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to natural formation and to the gentle hands that selected it, and every step from excavation to evaluation was documented to ensure fair compensation, safe working conditions, and ongoing support for local reclamation and community initiatives.

The transformation from rough to refined center stone is a conversation between cutter and material, and the final design celebrates that collaboration. The pear shape was chosen to echo the sapphire's natural teardrop of color, and the mixed brilliant cut was executed to maximize its internal life while respecting the stone as it arrived from Madagascar. Surrounding this central gem are white lab grown diamonds, selected for their ethical provenance and their ability to enhance the sapphire without competing with it. On either shoulder, marquise shaped lab grown diamonds total approximately 0.16 carat, and they are graded very slightly included, clarity VS1, VS2, with a color grade of F. Complementing these are pear shaped lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.40 carat, with the same clarity range and color grade. These lab grown diamonds are produced in controlled facilities that eliminate the human rights concerns associated with some mined stones, and they offer the brilliance and certification that discerning buyers expect. The choice to pair a naturally sourced sapphire from Madagascar with lab grown diamonds was deliberate, it balances provenance with modern responsibility, and it allows us to craft a piece that honors both the earth and contemporary ethical standards.

The ring is entirely set in 14K yellow gold, chosen for its warmth and its long standing role in jewelry tradition, and the metal was procured in alignment with our commitment to responsible sourcing. Where possible, our gold comes from recycled sources and from suppliers who can document conflict free origins and fair labor practices, and every setting is hand finished by artisans who bring decades of experience to the shaping of prongs, shoulders, and the subtle curves that let light meet gemstone. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we document each stone and its journey, and we provide transparent information on origin, treatments, and grading so that the wearer knows not only the measurements and the weights, but also the human and environmental story behind the ring. The final piece is a wearable narrative, comfortable on the hand with prongs that cradle the pear shaped sapphire and diamond arrangements that lead the eye to the center, a ring that asks to be worn for moments of celebration and for everyday reminders of ethical beauty. For those who wish to learn more, including certification details, care recommendations, and options for custom inscriptions and alternative metal sources, our team is available to guide the selection, and we stand behind the ring with a commitment to craftsmanship, traceability, and the long term wellbeing of the communities that helped bring this gem into being.
