Bezel Bluish Purple Sapphire Ring 1.59 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.59 carat oval bluish purple sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, with precise dimensions of 7.73 x 5.68 x 4.65 mm, presenting a mixed brilliant cut that marries pavilion and crown brilliant faceting to maximize scintillation within an oval outline. The mixed brilliant layout creates a dense array of small crown facets above larger pavilion facets, producing lively return of light and a balanced play of brilliance and color. Color is described as medium saturation bluish purple, delivering a clear purple tone with cool blue undertones, and the stone exhibits excellent polish that sharpens facet junctions and enhances apparent clarity. Clarity is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning minor inclusions are present but they do not materially compromise transparency or light performance, and notably this sapphire has received no enhancement, assuring natural color and internal character. The cutting proportions and the 4.65 mm depth are executed to preserve optical performance, while the oval outline and mixed brilliant faceting optimize face up presence for a 1.59 carat weight.

The mounting is executed entirely in 14K white gold, in a low profile bezel style with a vented under gallery to allow light entry and to reduce trapped moisture. Structurally the bezel secures the girdle entirely, offering superior edge protection compared with raised four prong solitaires and open claw settings commonly seen on the market, reducing the likelihood of facet chipping from lateral knocks. In comparative terms 14K white gold offers greater alloy hardness and abrasion resistance than higher karat golds, improving scratch and deformation resistance for daily wear. Combined with sapphire hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, the result is a highly durable wearable ring that resists scratching far better than quartz and most gemstones. Compared with halo and high set designs that expose the stone and increase snagging risk, this bezel set profile reduces mechanical vulnerability while retaining strong light return due to the mixed brilliant cut and the open gallery, and the slightly included clarity does not impair structural integrity. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this design to clients who want a technically refined balance of protection, optical performance, and enduring construction. Regular inspections of the bezel and occasional maintenance of the white gold finish will preserve long term durability.
