Antique Style Green Sapphire Ring 1.08 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent, cushion shape green sapphire weighing 1.08 carats, with dimensions of 5.95 x 5.79 x 3.49 millimeters, and a mixed brilliant cut that optimizes light return while preserving the gem character of a cushion silhouette. The stone is from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and it is untreated, with no enhancement declared. At eye level the sapphire is graded eye clean, offering unencumbered visual purity that allows its internal color and facet architecture to be the primary visual focus. Color saturation is described as medium intense, a balance that produces a vivid green presence without overwhelming the play of light within the pavilion and crown. The cutter has achieved an excellent polish, ensuring smooth facet junctions and crisp reflections, which accentuate the cushion form and the central table plane, making the sapphire read as both deep and lively from multiple viewing angles.

The ring design is intentionally composed to draw attention to the center stone, employing a classic halo arrangement of white round diamonds to frame and enhance the sapphire. The white diamonds total approximately 0.255 carats, with a color grade of F and clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, selected to provide high contrast and scintillation without distracting inclusions. Each diamond is set in fine yellow gold prongs that are deliberately minimal at the crown to maximize visible light entering the sapphire and diamonds, while providing secure support. The halo is arranged to create an optical border, increasing the perceived size of the center stone and directing the eye inward. The mixed brilliant face of the sapphire produces concentrated flashes that interact with the white diamond halo, producing complementary white sparkle that outlines the green center, and the graduated placement and consistent spacing of the diamonds ensure an even luminous frame from every angle.

The mounting is executed in 14K yellow gold, chosen for its warm tone that subtly enriches the green hue of the sapphire, and for its balance of strength and wearability. The gallery and shoulder work provide structural integrity while remaining visually light, allowing the sapphire to occupy the stage without heavy metal elements competing for attention. From the profile the setting raises the center stone sufficiently to allow light ingress through the pavilion, while the prong geometry is refined to expose the cushion outline. This combination of elevation, prong minimalism, and halo contrast is the principal method by which the design directs focus to the sapphire, emphasizing its cut, color, and transparency. The clean polish of the metal surfaces and the precision of the diamond settings further enhance the overall appearance, delivering a cohesive presentation where each element supports the visual primacy of the central gem.

The presentation and specification of this ring reflect the standards and expertise of The Natural Sapphire Company, with careful selection of a Ceylon origin, untreated sapphire, and complementary white diamonds chosen for optical harmony. Technical attributes important to connoisseurs and designers are all addressed, including exact gem dimensions, cut type, carat weights, clarity assessments, color statements, and metal choice. The ring offers an assured balance between gem quality and considered design, producing an object in which the central cushion green sapphire remains the unequivocal focal point, framed and elevated by calibrated diamond accents and a warm yellow gold setting that together maximize perceived size, sparkle, and color presence.
