Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 0.61 Ct., 14K Yellow & White

This ring centers a transparent 0.61 carat round bluish green sapphire, with calibrated dimensions 5.12 x 5.08 x 3.28 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a controlled pavilion geometry to optimize both scintillation and color saturation. The stone exhibits a depth to diameter ratio of approximately 64 percent, a proportion that supports strong light return while preserving the stone face up and avoiding windowing, particularly important for a mid tone sapphire. At eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, meaning the natural internal features are discreet and do not impede overall transparency or light performance. Color is described as medium intense in saturation, a balance that yields a vivid bluish green appearance without crossing into overly dark tones, and the polish is excellent, indicating precision on facet junctions and facet symmetry that enhance light reflection. Importantly, the sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classic source known for producing sapphires with lively tone and a pleasing blend of blue and green components.

The accent stones are specified and positioned to complement the center gem with technical intent. On either shoulder sit white marquise shaped natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.16 carats in combined weight, graded Very Slightly Included in clarity within the VS1 to VS2 range, and color E, chosen for their ability to introduce elongated flashes of white light that guide the eye toward the center stone. Additional marquise diamonds weighing approximately 0.08 carats, also VS1 to VS2 and E in color, further articulate the profile. Smaller round brilliant accents include stones of approximately 0.02 carats and 0.015 carats, each graded Very Slightly Included and color F, selected for their pinpoint scintillation and for creating focal points that reinforce the sapphire color through contrast. The total accent diamond weight is approximately 0.275 carats. Setting geometry places these diamonds in carefully considered positions to create optical balance, with marquise shapes providing directional emphasis and round brilliants providing concentrated light nodes. Attention to matching clarity and color grades across the accents ensures uniformity of white light return adjacent to the blue green center.

Metallurgical and setting decisions were executed to support the gemological attributes with durable, refined craftsmanship. The mounting combines 14K yellow gold and 14K white gold, with the sapphire embraced by a yellow gold collet or prong system that subtly warms the pavilion girdle and refractive body color without masking the natural hue, while the white gold shoulders and shank provide a high contrast backdrop that intensifies the perceived color purity of the sapphire. The mixed metal approach also serves a structural purpose, with yellow gold prongs offering resilient fixation and white gold providing a hard wearing surface for the accent diamond settings. Polishing and finishing are executed to an excellent standard, producing clean facet reflections and tight bezel and prong work that minimize shadow leakage. From a materials science perspective, the sapphire rated nine on the Mohs scale ensures excellent resistance to abrasion for everyday wear, and the diamond accents bring complementary hardness and reflective performance.

Because the center gem originates from Ceylon and is free from enhancement, its natural beauty requires only minimal enhancement in the form of precise cutting and expert setting to reveal its best optical behavior. The mixed brilliant cut and diligent polishing reveal the innate interplay of blue and green components, while the very slightly included clarity contributes natural character without compromising transparency. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize provenance and the intrinsic qualities of fine gemstones, and this ring exemplifies that philosophy by allowing the untreated sapphire to dictate the design language. Clients who appreciate technical precision will note the considered proportions, matched accent diamonds, and dual metal construction, and may request certification, close up imaging, or bespoke adjustments to setting proportions to further tailor light dynamics.
