Pave Green Sapphire Ring 1.17 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This exceptionally rare 1.17 carat cushion shape green sapphire from Tanzania is a quietly authoritative choice for the collector who values provenance and purity, set exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 6.49 by 5.98 by 3.15 millimeters, features a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, and presents as eye clean at normal viewing distances, a combination that is remarkably uncommon in untreated sapphires. With medium intense color saturation and complete absence of enhancements, this sapphire offers a natural, lively green that sits between fresh and deep, allowing light to travel through the gem with remarkable clarity. The ring is framed by approximately 0.285 carats of white natural round diamonds, graded VS clarity and F G color, set into warm 14K yellow gold which subtly intensifies the gemstone's green hue. Each element is curated to convey exclusivity and refinement, making this piece available only to a select few who appreciate authentic, untreated gems.

When it comes to light performance, the mixed brilliant cushion cut of this sapphire delivers a rare synthesis of dynamics that differs meaningfully from other common cuts and styles. Compared with a classic cushion step or an emerald cut, which prioritize color depth and a hall of mirrors effect that emphasizes clarity, the mixed brilliant pavilion introduces additional faceting that amplifies scintillation and small flashes of spectral fire, producing lively movement as the hand shifts. Against a round brilliant, this cushion retains strong overall brilliance but offers a more architectural silhouette and a softer, vintage inspired face up appearance, while benefiting from the additional facet pattern that gives a more varied play of light than many standard cushion cuts. The stone's balanced proportions, at approximately fifty point five percent depth, support excellent light return and prevent a washed out or overly dark center, a common issue in deeper or shallower cuts. The pavé of white diamonds along the shoulders adds contrast and contrast driven brilliance, drawing the eye to the sapphire and enhancing perceived intensity. For the connoisseur seeking a distinctive balance of color, brilliance and presence, this ring offers a rare opportunity to own an untouched Tanzanian sapphire, a piece that marks membership in a discreet circle of collectors who insist on natural beauty and exceptional craftsmanship.
