Accent Stones Bluish Purple Sapphire Ring 1.16 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring announces itself with a clarity and presence that immediately separates it from many of the pieces you will see elsewhere, and it does so with a natural pedigree that collectors prize. At its heart sits a transparent pear shaped bluish purple sapphire weighing 1.16 carats, measuring 10.39 x 4.67 x 3.12 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and depth. This is a Ceylon sapphire from Sri Lanka, unenhanced, with a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and a medium intense color saturation that reads as a lively bluish purple in most light. The excellent polish and the gem’s inherent transparency allow light to travel through the pavilion and crown with clarity, producing a lively combination of sparkle and depth. Compared with many market offerings, where heat treatments or other enhancements are common, this ring’s natural, untreated origin brings with it a distinct premium in rarity, long term value, and visual authenticity, a difference that The Natural Sapphire Company has always sought to preserve for discerning buyers.

The design of the setting draws inspiration from both nature and classic architectural motifs, marrying organic flow with structural grace. The shoulders and gallery are sculpted with intertwining motifs that recall delicate vines or Celtic inspired knotwork, while the supporting prongs and elevated gallery speak of carefully considered arches and load bearing lines you would expect from a fine piece of architecture. This hybrid approach produces a ring that reads as romantic and timeless, not merely decorative, and it frames the pear shape sapphire so that the teardrop silhouette is emphasized and elongated for an elegant finger presence. Compared with mass produced rings which often rely on heavy bezels or simple collets that obscure the gem, this setting lifts and cradles the stone with minimal metal, optimizing light return and ensuring the sapphire remains the unmistakable focal point. The entire ring is crafted in 14K white gold, offering a bright and durable metal that complements the cool tones of the sapphire while providing the structural resilience and daily wearability that modern life demands.

Accenting the center sapphire are white round shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.03 carats each, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F. These diamonds are chosen and set to enhance rather than compete with the central stone, contributing targeted flashes of white light that contrast with and intensify the bluish purple body color of the sapphire. The mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire paired with high clarity, high color grade accent diamonds yields a visual dialogue between fire and tone that is more sophisticated than designs relying solely on simpler melee or lower quality accents. When compared to similar rings on the market that may use lower clarity diamonds or lab created sapphires, this composition offers superior optical balance and a tactile refinement. The prong setting secures the gem while exposing its faceted pavilion and crown, a choice that favors brilliance and allows for easier inspection and cleaning, unlike fully enclosed or heavily plated settings that can mute a gem’s character over time.

Choosing a ring like this from The Natural Sapphire Company means choosing provenance, craftsmanship, and a design that balances rarity with everyday practicality. The untreated Ceylon sapphire gives this ring a narrative and investment quality that treated stones seldom match, while the choice of high quality accent diamonds and a 14K white gold architecture ensures the piece will remain both beautiful and robust through years of wear.
