Pave Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.99 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This pear shape bluish green sapphire began its journey deep in the alluvial plains of Ceylon, where generations of miners have long read the language of riverbeds and light. Unearthed as a transparent rough with vivid natural color, this 1.99 carat gem was entrusted to master cutters who revealed its voice with a mixed brilliant cut, producing a stone measuring 9.10 x 7.36 x 3.99 mm. Evaluated as eye clean at typical viewing distances, and delivered with excellent polish, the sapphire retains its original, unaltered character, no enhancement. Set at the heart of a 14K yellow gold ring, the pear shape carries a soft, organic silhouette, while white round natural diamonds in graduating sizes, approximately 0.03 carats, 0.045 carats, 0.06 carats, and 0.09 carats, each with VS clarity and F or G color, are placed as delicate accents to frame and lift the center stone. The warm glow of the yellow gold amplifies the bluish green depth, and the F and G color diamonds provide a near colorless contrast that reads as bright white, focusing the eye on the sapphire and creating a refined, vintage inspired yet modern composition. This piece at The Natural Sapphire Company celebrates provenance, craftsmanship, and the untouched beauty of a true Ceylon sapphire, a story you can wear every day.

When we compare the light performance of this mixed brilliant pear to other cuts and styles, its balance becomes clear. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceting scheme that favors scintillation and lively flashes from the pavilion, with crown faceting that leaves more color saturation visible than a full brilliant would, so the stone shows both lively sparkle and deep vivid tone. Against step cuts, such as an emerald cut, this sapphire offers more vibrant twinkle and fire, whereas a step cut would display broader, mirror like flashes and emphasize clarity over brilliance. Compared to a standard full brilliant pear or round brilliant, the mixed brilliant here preserves more of the gem's rich bluish green while still returning attractive sparkle, an advantage for colored stones where hue and saturation tell the story. Against a cabochon or heavily included material, the transparency and eye clean clarity of this sapphire allow light to penetrate and return with life, and the surrounding VS F G diamonds enhance perceived brightness without competing with color. The result is a ring that reads as both alive and elegant, a natural treasure shaped by expert hands, offered with the provenance and care you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.
