Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.04 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.04 carat radiant shape bluish green sapphire, a gem that combines a precise cut with natural character. The sapphire measures 6.42 by 4.78 by 3.58 millimeters, dimensions that produce a pleasing face up presence without overwhelming the hand. At eye level the clarity is assessed as very very slightly included, a practical and desirable grade for natural sapphires that signals minimal inclusions which do not detract from the gem's brilliance. The color presents with medium saturation, giving a balanced bluish green tone that reads differently depending on light, moving from a lively green in daylight to a cooler bluish cast under softer illumination. The radiant cut used here is a hybrid that maximizes light return while preserving table size, and the excellent polish further enhances light performance, yielding crisp facet junctions and a lively surface that speaks to careful lapidary work.

Complementing the center stone are white round natural diamonds set into the shoulders, each weighing approximately 0.02 carats in total diamond weight across the ring, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included noted as VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F. These diamonds serve both a practical and a visual purpose, adding pinpoint flashes of white light that frame the sapphire and elevate perceived contrast, which in turn makes the main stone appear cleaner and more vibrant. The diamonds are proportioned and matched to be subtle and supportive rather than distracting, a restraint that benefits long term wear and timeless appeal. The entire composition is set in 14K yellow gold, a warm metal choice that harmonizes with the bluish green tone of the sapphire and provides a secure, durable seat for the stones through a bezel and slight shoulder setting that reduces snagging and protects the girdle.

For the educated buyer, several technical and provenance factors contribute to the intrinsic and collectible value of this ring. The sapphire originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing sapphires with attractive, varied colors and good clarity, and the documented origin supports both desirability and market transparency. The radiant cut is an efficient cutter friendly to gems with good color, offering a strong balance between brilliance and face up color that is often preferred by connoisseurs seeking both sparkle and saturation. The clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level indicates natural formation characteristics while remaining visually clean without the need for heavy clarity treatments. The diamonds, graded VS1 and VS2 and color F, add reliable laboratory grade attributes to the piece, and the 14K yellow gold mounting combines everyday toughness with an aesthetic that ages gracefully. Together these factors create a ring that stands up to scrutiny, combining measurable gemological attributes with artisanal finishing and material quality.

This ring was conceived to be more than a present day statement, it is a piece intended to enter a family narrative and be passed down through generations. The restrained, elegant design and protective bezel style setting mitigate everyday wear and potential chipping, while the choice of 14K yellow gold provides a metal that can be resized and serviced responsibly over decades. Because the sapphire comes from Madagascar and shows minimal inclusions with excellent polish, it retains the kind of documented identity and enduring beauty that collectors appreciate and heirs will recognize. When maintained through periodic professional cleaning and occasional inspection, the optical integrity and structural security of the gem and mounting will allow it to be enjoyed by multiple generations.
