Three Stone Bluish Grey Sapphire Ring 0.53 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 0.53 carat asscher octagon sapphire, measured at 4.45 x 4.14 x 3.44 mm, the asscher cut presenting concentric step facets that create a controlled hall of mirrors rather than the scintillation typical of brilliant cuts, the pavilion steps and truncated corners emphasize geometric symmetry and return light as broad flashes, eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level allows those step facets to read with clarity, the very light color saturation yields a bluish grey tone that is characteristic of Montana material, heat treatment stabilizes and subtly deepens the hue without obscuring the stone structure, excellent polish was executed to optimize facet junction crispness and table reflection, the result is an asscher that reads with crisp facet contrast, architectural light play, and a clean windowed appearance while maintaining a delicate visual weight appropriate to its 0.53 carat size, this piece is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company.

The mounting is executed in platinum 950 with a low profile bezel and minimal shoulder presentation, the bezel is precisely milled to follow the octagonal outline of the asscher, the shoulders are tapered and set with two natural white round diamonds weighing approximately 0.015 carats each, the diamonds are graded color F and clarity VS1 to VS2, their small calibrated weight and near colorless grade provide a crisp brightening effect at the stone junction without competing for attention, the bezel setting secures the stone close to the finger reducing exposure and echoing the restrained practicality of early seventeenth century closed settings while the stepped octagonal bezel and linear shoulder treatment reference Art Deco geometry popularized in the 1920s, the overall silhouette also recalls the restrained solitaire aesthetic promoted by leading nineteenth and early twentieth century jewelers, in execution the platinum 950 was chosen for its tensile strength and stability which supports fine milling and retains crisp bezel edges over time, hand finishing included careful burnishing of the bezel wall, internally polished seat to minimize abrasion against the pavilion girdle, and mirror polishing of the band to reflect the sapphire tone, the combination of step cut geometry, subtle Montana hue, eye clean clarity, calibrated diamond accents, and precision platinum fabrication produces a restrained yet technically detailed ring for a buyer who values facet architecture and historical references in contemporary wear.
