Accent Stones Color Change Sapphire Ring 2.56 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a 2.56 carat pear shape color change sapphire with precise measured dimensions of 9.65 millimeters by 6.64 millimeters by 5.22 millimeters, presented in a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance color saturation and light return. The length to width ratio calculates to approximately 1.45, producing an elegant pear outline that elongates the finger without compromising symmetry, and the depth measured against the length corresponds to approximately 54.06 percent, indicating a profile that favors a broad face up presentation while maintaining enough pavilion depth to promote internal light circulation. The sapphire exhibits intense color saturation, offering a strong face up hue that is enhanced by the cut geometry, and the stone has been evaluated as slightly included at eye level, with inclusions that do not compromise structural integrity or the overall visual impact. Origin is Madagascar, the stone has been heat treated as a standard enhancement, and the polish has been graded excellent, ensuring each facet boundary is crisp and reflective.

The mixed brilliant faceting of the pear shape is executed to achieve a dual objective, maximizing both scintillation and the expression of the sapphire s color change phenomenon. The crown displays a modified brilliant arrangement where truncated star and kite facets are carefully proportioned to control the distribution of reflected light, reducing wash and preserving color saturation. The pavilion follows a full brilliant schema with a dense array of pavilion main and lower girdle facets that return light efficiently to the viewer, creating a lively face up presence. Facet junctions are executed with precision to promote strong facet contrast, and the symmetry of the pear point and wings is maintained to avoid light leakage at the tip and shoulders. The mixed scheme also reduces the tendency for color to appear flat by breaking up larger plane facets into smaller, interacting facets that layer color, creating a dynamic interplay between the primary hue and its secondary tones under varying light sources.

Clarity considerations have been addressed with technical care, the slightly included grade at eye level indicates the presence of internal features that are visible on close inspection but are positioned and oriented to minimize disruption to the gem s optical performance. Inclusions are typically confined to lower pavilion zones and along facet junctions where they intersect with the stone s natural growth features, allowing the upper crown facets to remain visually clean and reflective. The excellent polish minimizes surface disturbance, so light transmission through the crown remains optimal, and the heat treatment has been applied in a controlled manner to stabilize and intensify the color without obscuring clarity characteristics. The mounting strategy further supports optical performance, with a precision prong setting that secures the sapphire while reducing metal obstruction around the girdle, enabling maximum light entry into the crown and unobstructed display of the stone s pleochroic and color change behavior.

Flanking the central sapphire are white marquise shaped lab grown diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 0.48 carats, graded Very Slightly Included in clarity across VS1 and VS2 and carrying a color grade of E, providing near colorless contrast that frames the sapphire without imparting warmth. The marquise stones are cut with elongated brilliant faceting, their pointed terminations aligned to mirror the taper of the pear center and to create a continuous visual flow along the ring shoulders. These side stones are calibrated to balance brightness and profile, their facet arrays engineered to complement the center stone s mixed brilliant scheme so that scintillation and spectral whiteness act as a foil to the sapphire s intense hues. The entire composition is set in 14 karat white gold, a durable and neutral backdrop that enhances the apparent whiteness of the diamond accents while providing a refined contrast to the sapphire s color. This piece is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company and is crafted to appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate facet precision, proportion engineering, and thoughtful integration of color and brilliance.
