Floral Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.52 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.52 carat radiant shape bluish green sapphire with dimensions 6.13 x 6.09 x 4.46 mm. The stone exhibits a radiant cut that marries a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a modified pavilion geometry, creating a balance between lively scintillation and depth of color. Measured proportions yield a depth of approximately 73 percent which concentrates optical path length and intensifies the face up hue, contributing to the intense color saturation noted in the report. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the stone displays an excellent polish across all facet planes. The sapphire is from Ceylon Sri Lanka and is unenhanced, attributes that are confirmed by our examination at The Natural Sapphire Company and that underscore the gemological integrity of the material.

The radiant cut used for this sapphire is a technical choice intended to maximize both brilliance and color concentration. The crown is crafted with multiple kite and star facets that direct light down into the pavilion where a dense arrangement of pavilion facets returns that light as scintillation and flash. Radiant cuts typically employ a high facet count and truncated corners to reduce vulnerability while enhancing the appearance of size. In this specimen the facet junctions are precise and the facet polish is uniform, which allows crisp light return and minimizes diffusion losses. The combination of intense sit up color and a vigorous facet design creates a dynamic balance between sparkle and saturated tone, so the sapphire reads as lively in motion and deep in static viewing. The cut proportions were chosen to take advantage of the sapphire s natural color spectrum so that blue and green wavelengths are presented in an integrated bluish green appearance rather than appearing as discrete zones.

Inclusions in this sapphire are minor by eye level standards, yet they play a distinct role in the gem s visual personality and provenance signature. Very slight inclusions are present in positions that interact with facet reflections to produce localised color modulation and microflashes that shift with viewing angle. These internal features can be composed of fine crystals and silk like rutile orientations or healed fissures that are typical of natural Ceylon material, and their distribution provides a fingerprint that is unique to this individual sapphire. Rather than detracting from the gem, these internal characteristics create internal light patterns and subtle zoning that contribute to perceived depth and complexity. From a technical perspective the inclusions alter internal scattering paths which can enhance contrast between facets and thus augment scintillation. The untreated nature of the stone combined with the inclusion pattern is consistent with natural formation and gives collectors and connoisseurs a traceable narrative about origin and growth conditions.

The mounting and finishing choices made by The Natural Sapphire Company further emphasize the gem s technical qualities. The sapphire is securely held in a four prong 14 karat yellow gold setting that is engineered to minimize metal intrusion into the table area while maintaining structural robustness. The open gallery under the crown is executed to allow maximum light ingress to the pavilion, intentionally complementing the relatively deep proportions of the stone so that light can enter and reflect back through the crown facets. The yellow gold hue warms and moderates the bluish green saturation, producing a sophisticated color dialogue between metal and gemstone. Hand finishing on the shoulders and prong tips ensures smooth transitions and precise seat alignment for optimal symmetry and seating. In combination these choices create a ring that not only showcases the sapphire s natural color and inclusions but also exemplifies detailed craftsmanship and thoughtful design from The Natural Sapphire Company.
