Antique Style Green Sapphire Ring 0.56 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 0.56 carat oval green sapphire, measuring 5.58 by 4.24 by 2.77 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut, a length to width ratio of approximately 1.32, and a depth percentage near 56 percent, characteristics that optimize both table size and pavilion facet interaction for balanced light return. The mixed brilliant faceting combines a brilliant pavilion to maximize scintillation, with modified crown faceting to preserve color and reduce windowing, resulting in lively facet contrast around a light color saturation and an excellent polish. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which in this stone presents as small internal features that do not materially impede brilliance, and the Ceylon Sri Lanka origin contributes to the stone profile with a delicate, transparent green that reads lighter and cooler than tropical deposits, allowing the mixed cutting style to emphasize luster and fire rather than deep body tone.

The mounting is executed entirely in 18K white gold, featuring a raised four prong cathedral head that elevates the oval sapphire for optimal light exposure, with an openwork engraved gallery and split shoulders that allow side light into the pavilion. The shoulders are finished with fine hand engraving and milgrain, and they carry pavé set accent stones that reinforce the central axis, creating a continuous reflective plane from band to crown. The overall approach to setting recalls the airy filigree and hand engraved detail of Edwardian lacework, while the balanced symmetry and restrained silhouette reference Belle Epoque garland rings, and the clarity of line offers a subtle nod to the geometric discipline of the Art Deco period. Technical decisions such as the elevated cathedral profile, the four prong retention for controlled security and light access, and the choice of 18K white gold for a high polish luminous backdrop, all serve to present the sapphire with maximum optical performance and wearable durability. This offering from The Natural Sapphire Company combines classical artisanal techniques with precise gemological proportioning, producing a ring that is both historically informed and optimized for modern wear.
