Pave Green Sapphire Ring 2.13 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring begins its story far from the polishing wheel, in the mineral-rich soils of Africa where the rough crystal that became this green sapphire formed over eons. Buried by geological forces and shaped by slow cooling, the crystal gathered the intense green that now catches the eye, a color that speaks of time and place rather than human intervention. At 2.13 carats, this emerald cut green sapphire measures 8.14 by 6.28 by 4.35 millimeters, and its transparency is a rare gift for a richly saturated stone. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which allows the gem to retain its lively depth while showing the natural character that makes each sapphire unique. Because there has been no enhancement, the green you see is wholly natural and stable, an enduring color that resists fading and reveals itself fully through an excellent polish that lets light travel through the facet planes with clarity and poise.

From that natural beginning the piece moves into the hands of skilled artisans, who shaped the stone with respect for its origin and structure, setting it to live on the finger as a functional jewel. The emerald cut emphasizes the sapphire’s internal glow, producing broad, elegant flashes rather than scattered brilliance, and the four secure prongs cradle the gem while allowing light to enter from all sides. The shoulders of the ring are enlivened with white round natural diamonds, the smaller stones weighing approximately 0.07 carats with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F, and companion diamonds weighing approximately 0.128 carats with clarity VS and a color grade of F G, each stone chosen for optical harmony and structural solidity. These diamonds are not only brilliant accents, they are also the hardest natural substance on earth, and they add a protective sparkle that complements the sapphire without overwhelming it. The entire design is rendered in 18K yellow gold, chosen for its warm contrast with the green sapphire and for the balanced durability it provides when formed into a thoughtful setting. The twisted band motif is both decorative and practical, distributing impact and creating a stable platform for the center stone while maintaining a comfortable profile for everyday wear.

Durability was a guiding principle from rough to ring, making this piece exceptionally well suited for daily wear. Sapphire is rated nine on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, second only to diamond, and resists scratches from most materials you encounter in ordinary life. The emerald cut, excellent polish, and solid prong setting protect the pavilion and girdle, while the diamonds and the 18K gold setting work together to absorb and deflect minor knocks. Although 18K gold contains a higher proportion of pure gold than lower carat alloys, the ring’s construction is engineered to provide a lasting balance of strength and richness, combining comfort with endurance. The lack of enhancement in the sapphire ensures that its color and integrity are inherent, not dependent on surface treatments that might degrade with wear, which is an important factor for anyone seeking a stone that will remain as honest and vibrant in years to come as it is on the day you receive it.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor the journey of each gem, from its geological beginning to the moment it is slipped onto a hand and becomes part of a life. This green sapphire ring is more than a jewel, it is a narrative you can wear, a piece whose materials and craftsmanship were selected with everyday resilience in mind. For long lasting beauty we recommend routine, simple care, such as avoiding harsh chemicals, removing the ring for heavy manual work, and having the setting inspected periodically by a jeweler to ensure prongs remain secure. If you cherish a gem that has been left in its natural state, that holds an African story in its color, and that has been set into a ring designed to accompany daily life, this piece represents those values with clarity and confidence.
