Solitaire Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 2.86 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent, 2.86 carat round bluish green sapphire, precisely measured at 8.56 by 8.66 by 5.80 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to combine scintillation with strong face up color. The stone displays an eye clean clarity when examined at typical viewing distance, a very light color saturation that gives it a delicate and elegant hue, and an excellent polish that maximizes surface brightness and reflective return. This sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement widely accepted in the trade to improve color uniformity and clarity, and it originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires with both lively tone and fine transparency. The gem is set in a refined, fully polished 14K white gold mounting crafted to complement the subtle bluish green of the stone, and the overall presentation reflects the careful sourcing and lapidary work you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.

From a gemological perspective this sapphire’s combination of size, transparency, and cut makes it noteworthy for an educated buyer. At 2.86 carats the stone is large enough to show off its cut and color, yet its proportions maintain excellent light return because the mixed brilliant faceting pattern balances crown brilliance and pavilion scintillation. The eye clean clarity grade means that under normal viewing conditions the pavilion and crown present no visible inclusions to detract from visual performance, which enhances both sparkle and perceived size. The very light saturation renders the stone refined and versatile, allowing it to appear more aquamarine in some lighting and a delicate teal in others, depending on ambient light and background, a characteristic that many connoisseurs prize for its subtlety. The excellent polish further ensures facet junctions are crisp and reflective, so each movement produces lively flashes of white light and soft color flashes that draw attention without appearing gaudy.

The ring design is deliberately minimal to direct every gaze to the center sapphire, and the setting choices emphasize the gem’s optical strengths. The mounting uses a restrained band profile in 14K white gold that visually narrows as it approaches the crown, creating a visual pathway that leads the eye straight to the stone. The prong work is open and elevated enough to expose the pavilion and permit abundant light to enter and exit the gem, which enhances both brilliance and color play, while the absence of side stones or heavy metal detailing prevents any competition with the center. The gallery and seat are engineered to lift the sapphire slightly above the finger, which makes the face of the stone more visible from a variety of angles and allows the mixed brilliant cut to reveal its full pattern of scintillation. Together these design choices produce a classical solitaire aesthetic with modern attention to proportion, where the metal quietly supports the gem, and the gem remains the unequivocal focal point.

For buyers who evaluate fine colored stones on both aesthetic and technical grounds, this ring represents a harmonious package of provenance, cutting, and setting. The Sri Lankan origin provides a documented regional character that collectors recognize, and the heat treatment is conventional, stable, and typical for sapphires of this color profile. The 14K white gold setting offers durable, low maintenance support that complements the cool bluish green tones, and the overall construction is intended for regular wear while still allowing for future resizing or remounting should preferences change.
