Three Stone Color Change Sapphire Ring 1.72 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.72 carat oval color change sapphire, measuring 7.91 by 6.27 by 4.28 millimeters, cut as a mixed brilliant to balance color and brilliancy. The mixed brilliant faceting uses a brilliant arrangement on the crown combined with a modified pavilion geometry to retain strong return of light while intensifying the stone’s body color and color-change response. With intense color saturation and excellent polish, the stone shows crisp facet junctions and lively scintillation both face-up and at oblique angles. Critically for connoisseurs, the sapphire is eye clean when evaluated at normal viewing distance, and it is natural with no enhancement recorded, originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. In practical terms this means inclusions are either microscopic or positioned out of the window of view so that the gem’s optical performance and color purity are not compromised. When compared to other high-end rings that frequently use heat-treated sapphires to improve tone and clarity, an unenhanced, eye-clean Ceylon color change sapphire of this size and cut is comparatively rare and commands a premium for its combination of natural color saturation and clarity.

Flanking the sapphire are two white pear-shaped natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.20 carats, set to accentuate the oval’s length and to introduce crisp white contrast. These side diamonds are graded E in color and VS1-VS2 in clarity, a specification that places them well within the quality range expected on luxury mountings where face-up appearance and durability are priorities. VS1-VS2 clarity for small pear side stones delivers a clean, bright face-up appearance that is visually comparable to higher graded stones at this scale, while providing cost-effective optical performance. The entire composition is executed in platinum 950, chosen for its density and wear resistance which secures the stones and maintains precise prong geometry over time. The Natural Sapphire Company’s execution focuses on tight gem seating, symmetry of the side stones to the center oval, and an open gallery that maximizes light entry to the pavilion. In direct comparison to many high-end rings on the market, this piece offers an exceptional balance: an unenhanced, intensely saturated, eye-clean Ceylon color change sapphire paired with E, VS pear diamonds, all housed in a durable platinum 950 setting, a configuration that emphasizes natural gem quality and long-term visual performance.
