Pave Green Sapphire Ring 3.02 Ct., 14K White Gold

From the heart of Ceylon Sri Lanka to a hand finished band in our workshop, this ring tells the story of a single remarkable sapphire, a 3.02 carat cushion shaped gem that began its life deep within ancient volcanic soils. Miners and gem scouts who know the island by habit and by eye first recognized the potential of this rough crystal, and it was chosen for its clarity and for the gentle green that seemed to shift with the light. Cut to exacting proportions as a mixed brilliant to balance fire and depth, the finished stone measures 8.64 by 6.88 by 5.18 millimeters, and displays a medium intense color saturation with an eye clean clarity when viewed at eye level. Carefully heat treated to enhance stability and color consistency, the sapphire was then given an excellent polish so that each facet reflects light with lively brilliance. The story of this gem is as much about the place it came from as it is about the hands that shaped it, and every facet preserves a trace of Ceylon history and geology.

The design that cradles this green treasure is classically inspired and deliberately timeless, conceived to honor the stone while promising enduring wearability. The ring is entirely set in 18K white gold, a warm white metal that provides a cool counterpoint to the green center and ensures decades of graceful service. On either side of the center sapphire, white round natural diamonds have been selected and placed to accentuate the center without overpowering it. A set of diamonds weighing approximately 0.20 carats in total show clarity grades Very Slightly Included VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of E, offering a bright near colorless contrast. Additional white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.12 carats in total carry clarity VS and a color grade of F and G, contributing refined sparkle along the shoulders of the band. The combination of mixed brilliant cutting for the sapphire, skillful diamond selection, and meticulous setting gives the ring a classical silhouette that is balanced and flattering from every angle, with a sparkle that reads as both modern and timeless.

When you wear this ring, you carry a lineage of craft and provenance, curated by The Natural Sapphire Company and completed by master jewelers whose attention to proportion and finish turns a fine gemstone into a personal heirloom. The twisted lines of the band and the measured prong setting were designed to frame the cushion green sapphire like a small window onto something ancient and alive, a color that can be read as verdant, as spring, and as a rare expression of Ceylon gemology. Practical considerations were also kept at the forefront from the first sketch to the final polish, so the setting offers security for everyday wear, and the choice of 18K white gold keeps maintenance simple while enhancing the visual contrast of the stones. For someone seeking an engagement ring or a signature piece that blends story with restraint, this design is made to be worn now and passed on later, to gather new memories while keeping the original stone at its luminous center. If you would like further details about this sapphire, its journey from Ceylon Sri Lanka, or the craftsmanship behind the setting, The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to share provenance information and care advice so this ring may be cherished for generations.
