Antique Style Green Sapphire Ring 1.92 Ct., 14K Yellow & White

This ring centers on a transparent 1.92 carat emerald cut green sapphire, presented in a classical step cut with an elongated rectangular table, measurements 8.43 by 5.47 by 4.02 millimeters, and an emerald cut outline that emphasizes broad facet planes and truncated corners. The sapphire is graded very slightly included at eye level, with medium color saturation and an excellent polish, and it is guaranteed to be unenhanced, originating from Madagascar. The step cut used for this stone produces a series of parallel crown and pavilion facets which read as broad flashes of color rather than scintillating pinpoint brilliance, therefore the clarity and polish of the material become primary determinants of visual performance. In this example the combination of a large, well proportioned table and shallow to moderate pavilion depth allows the green color to present as consistent color zones under diffuse light, while strong facet alignment and superior polish create crisp internal reflections that enhance transparency and apparent depth.

The proportions of this sapphire have been selected to balance face up size with optical performance, the length to width ratio of approximately 1.54 yields an elegant rectangular silhouette that suits both solitaire and halo designs. The measured depth at 4.02 millimeters supports a well controlled pavilion architecture, which translates into an efficient return of light through the table without introducing excessive windowing or dark areas. Green sapphires often exhibit pleochroism with subtle shifts between greener and slightly bluish tones when viewed from different angles, and the medium saturation in this stone provides an attractive balance between depth of hue and versatility in settings. Because the stone is unheated and unenhanced, the natural color distribution and crystal habit are preserved, which increases both rarity and collector appeal, particularly in step cut stones where untreated material that is clean enough for an emerald cut is uncommon.

The mounting integrates two distinct diamond groupings and a two tone gold execution, creating both structural support and visual contrast. A pavillion or halo of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.04 carats forms a tight frame around the pavilion edge, while additional white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.30 carats are deployed as shoulder accents, all graded clarity VS and color F G, providing near colorless brilliance and eye clean performance. The small halo diamonds are sized and faceted to follow the step cut geometry, amplifying the perimeter brightness and giving defined edge contrast without competing with the main stone. The shoulder diamonds are calibrated to reinforce the transition from the halo to the shank, their VS clarity permitting strong scintillation without noticeable inclusions at normal viewing distances. The ring is executed in 14 karat yellow gold for the bezel and gallery, and 14 karat white gold for the shank and shoulders, the warm yellow gold surrounding the green sapphire enhances perceived saturation through complementary contrast, while the white gold shank provides a neutral foil for the colorless diamonds, combining to achieve a deliberate, technical balance between hue, tone, and brilliance.

This piece reflects both geological provenance and a lineage of lapidary and jewelry craft, characteristics that enhance its value beyond weight and measurements alone. Sapphires from Madagascar are the result of complex metamorphic processes and localized gem bearing gravels, they have entered the modern market as sources of a range of colors that include high quality green material, and when such a specimen is both untreated and of gem clarity it carries additional market significance. The emerald cut itself has a long history in fine jewelry, it was adopted historically as a way to emphasize color and clarity in step cut emeralds and later in sapphires and diamonds, the geometry communicates a vintage sensibility while allowing the material to display its internal characteristics with honesty. The careful selection of diamond grades F G in color and VS in clarity ensures the accent stones read as bright and near colorless against the sapphire, preserving the sapphire as the focal point while contributing measurable weight in calibrated, evenly matched facets. At The Natural Sapphire Company we combine responsible sourcing and meticulous finishing, ensuring that provenance, treatment disclosure, and technical grading accompany each piece, this ring therefore presents not only an attractive visual composition, but also a documented package of attributes that support long term value and collectibility.
