Celtic Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 2.96 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 2.96 carat pear shape bluish green sapphire, carefully cut with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme to balance scintillation and color depth. The stone measures 11.29 x 7.80 x 4.84 mm, dimensions that reflect proportioned crown to pavilion relationships and which allow the cutter to employ a brilliant crown to enhance fire, with modified pavilion facets to preserve tone and saturation. The clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, a grade that allows light to traverse the pavilion with minimal obstruction while still indicating natural internal characteristics that confirm authenticity. The color is described as bluish green with intense saturation, evenly distributed across the table and through the girdle, and the polish is excellent which produces crisp facet junctions and bright facet reflections. There is no enhancement reported, and the sapphire is identified as originating from Montana, a provenance which is consistent with the gem profile of fine American sapphires with strong natural color and structural integrity.

The mounting is executed in platinum 950, chosen for its high density and tensile strength which provide secure retention for a pronounced pear form while maintaining a refined profile on the finger. The design uses a raised prong platform that positions the pavilion to maximize light entry and exit, while the open gallery beneath the stone and the gallery architecture permit routine cleaning and reduce light obstruction. The shoulders integrate subtle openwork that reads as elegant filigree from the top, but which is engineered with reinforcing elements beneath to distribute stress away from the girdle in the event of incidental impact. The shank is proportioned to counterbalance the slight head heavy tendency of a sizable pear shape, producing a stable center of gravity that prevents rotation in normal wear. All joins are finished with precision, and the exterior surfaces are hand polished to an even sheen, a finish that complements the sapphire while adding scratch resistance inherent to platinum 950.

From a technical connoisseur perspective this ring offers an attractive synthesis of aesthetic refinement and practical engineering. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes the trade off between color saturation and light performance, using smaller crown facets around the table to display the intense bluish green, and slightly larger pavilion facets to sustain return of light, a combination that benefits from the excellent polish and the very slightly included clarity grade. The lack of enhancement preserves the natural crystal lattice and supports long term value retention, and the Montana origin is notable for its tendency toward stable, saturated tones that photograph and face up well. The Natural Sapphire Company applies rigorous assessment to facet precision and setting integrity, and our documentation records the measurements, the clarity evaluation at eye level, the absence of thermal or chemical enhancement, and the polish grade. For buyers who prioritize both the technical merits of cut and the daily functionality of a ring intended for regular wear, this piece demonstrates how considered facet architecture, responsible metal selection, and structurally conscious setting design converge to produce an object that is as serviceable as it is beautiful.
