Three Stone Green Sapphire Ring 2.78 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company centers on a beautifully transparent 2.78 carat cushion shape green sapphire, the stone measuring 8.11 by 6.70 by 5.38 millimeters and cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and depth, the gem shows a medium intense color saturation and an excellent polish, and importantly it is natural and unenhanced which sets it apart from many market alternatives that rely on heat treatment or other enhancements to achieve their color, the clarity is assessed as very slightly included when viewed at eye level which means the stone retains a clean, lively appearance without the burden of obvious surface or internal distractions, the Montana origin contributes a distinctive, fresh green tone that differs from the more common Sri Lankan or Madagascan blues and blues with green overtones, collectors and conscientious buyers will value the rarity and provenance of an untreated Montana sapphire, and when compared to similar sized stones on the market this piece stands out because it pairs a substantial carat weight with transparency and natural color for a look that is both substantial and authentically sourced.

The design pairs the center sapphire with white natural diamonds that accentuate and frame the main gem while adding refined sparkle, the half moon shaped diamonds on either side weigh approximately 0.30 carats in total and are graded very slightly included in clarity with a color grade of F, the round shaped diamonds along the shoulders also total approximately 0.30 carats and are graded VS clarity with color grades in the F and G range, together these diamonds contribute approximately 0.60 carats of bright white accent stones that enhance the sapphire without overpowering it, unlike many mass produced rings that use lower clarity or laboratory grown accents to cut costs, this ring uses natural, high quality side diamonds to guarantee consistent light return and an elegant face up appearance, the mixed brilliant cut of the cushion sapphire complements the brilliant facets of the diamonds so the sparkle remains cohesive from center to band, craftsmanship is evident in the precision of the prong work and the seamless transition between the center setting and the diamond set shoulders, for buyers comparing options this ring offers better balance between a notable colored center stone and high quality diamond accents than many pieces where either the center is overtreated or the accents are underspecified.

Durability and suitability for long term daily wear were central to the choice of metal for this design, the entire ring is set in 14K yellow gold which provides an optimal balance between purity and physical strength, compared with higher karat golds such as 18K or 22K which are softer and more prone to nicking, 14K gold contains a greater proportion of alloyed metals that increase hardness so it resists scratches and bending during everyday activities, compared with white gold which often requires rhodium plating to maintain its bright white finish and can need replanting over time, 14K yellow gold keeps its warm, classic tone without additional coatings and is therefore lower maintenance while delivering durable performance, compared with platinum which while very dense and durable can develop a patina and can be heavier and more expensive to resize or repair, 14K yellow gold offers an excellent long term value because it retains structural integrity, is easier for skilled jewelers to resize and repair, and shows surface wear less obtrusively, the four prong setting secures the sapphire while the supportive gallery and bezel like understructure protect the pavilion and girdle from impact during normal wear, The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the sourcing, cutting and setting of this ring and positions it as a superior choice for buyers seeking a naturally beautiful Montana sapphire, white diamond accents of genuine quality, and a 14K yellow gold band engineered for enduring everyday elegance and wearability.
