Floral Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 2.86 Ct., 14K Yellow & White

From the warm alluvial gravels of Ceylon, a single crystal began its long journey, forming slowly in a bed of metamorphic rock where heat and pressure coaxed trace elements into a whisper of bluish green. The result is a transparent gem weighing 2.86 carats, cut into a round mixed brilliant that measures 8.56 by 8.66 by 5.80 millimeters, with an eye clean clarity when evaluated at eye level, very light color saturation, and an excellent polish that rewards movement with a gentle, silvery fire. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that origin by disclosing that this sapphire has undergone a traditional heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its color, a practice as old as the gem trade itself, and by tracing its provenance back to the island known to generations as Ceylon, a place whose sapphires have long been prized for their unique and poetic tones.

The ring that cradles this stone is a conversation between past and present, crafted in a marriage of 14K yellow gold and 14K white gold that frames the sapphire like a jewel in a courtly crown. The yellow gold gallery rises in a scalloped, crown like motif that holds the mixed brilliant cut with confident, flowing prongs, while the polished white gold band provides a calm, reflective stage that lets the gem sing. That two tone approach recalls the regal coronet settings of Georgian and Victorian pieces that lifted stones high to catch the light, and it also shares the restraint and spotlighting intent of early 20th century solitaires that favored clean bands and elevated, ornate galleries. When you look at the setting you can sense echoes of famous historical masterpieces, the way a coronet ring from the Victorian era celebrated floral forms and upward facing prongs, and the way iconic solitaire designs embraced minimalism on the shank to allow a single stone to be read as the protagonist, yet here the yellow gold gallery returns a nod to antique ornament without sacrificing modern comfort and durability.

Wearing this ring is a small ritual of connection, a reminder that a tiny particle of mineral, shaped by earth and hand, can carry a story across time. The combination of the sapphire’s near transparent bluish green, its precise mixed brilliant cut, and the two tone 14K mount makes the piece versatile for everyday grace and for moments that demand attention, whether presented as an engagement ring, an heirloom to be passed through generations, or a personal talisman that recalls ocean light and tropical rain. Practical considerations sit comfortably alongside romance, the heat treatment used on the stone being a stable and accepted enhancement, the eye clean clarity meaning the gem sparkles without visible inclusions, and the excellent polish ensuring a lively play of light with movement. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select, cut, and set each stone with care, and we welcome your questions about sizing, certification, and the small decisions that make a ring uniquely yours, because this is more than a jewel, it is a wearable story that began in Ceylon and was completed by skilled hands, ready to write the next chapter on your finger.
