Solitaire Green Sapphire Ring 0.85 Ct., 14K White Gold

From the ancient heart of Madagascar to a setting of bright white gold, this ring tells a story that began long before it reached your hand. Deep within metamorphic rocks and river gravels, heat and pressure coaxed corundum crystals into being, and trace elements gave this particular sapphire its rare green hue. Miners working patient shifts recovered the rough crystal, and from that rough the journey really began. Each facet of the finished gem keeps a memory of that origin, a record of earth formed beauty, and a whisper of the place where it was found. The 0.85 carat oval green sapphire, measured at 5.55 x 4.79 x 3.62 mm, preserves the intimate connection between land and light, and offers a color that reads as intensely saturated and alive when it catches the eye.

The transformation from rough to jewel is a story of skillful decisions made by cutters who know how to honor nature while enhancing beauty. This sapphire was fashioned into an elegant oval with a mixed brilliant cut, a design choice that balances scintillation with depth, allowing the crown facets to flash while the pavilion facets return rich tones. Evaluated at eye level the stone is slightly included, a clarity that confirms its natural origin and gives the gem character without detracting from its transparency. The cutter oriented the crystal to maximize both color and light return, and the resulting excellent polish gives each facet a mirror finish that lets the intense saturation sing. The sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional enhancement used to stabilize and intensify color, a careful measure performed with respect for the stone so that the final result remains durable and vibrant for everyday wear.

When the gem reached the bench of our master goldsmiths the work became about harmony. The ring is entirely set in 14K white gold, a metal chosen for its warm white tone, strength, and ability to complement the green sapphire without overwhelming it. The band flows into a graceful, twisting profile that evokes vines or ribbons, a subtle organic motif that echoes the gem origin story while cradling the sapphire high to catch light from every angle. Polished prongs rise like a small crown to hold the oval securely, allowing the mixed brilliant cut to show its full spectrum of light play. Every curve, every shoulder, was refined by hand, and the finishing process removed any trace of tool marks so that the metal gleams with an inviting sheen. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in this union of natural gem and crafted metal, a partnership between earth and artisan that results in a ring meant to be treasured.

This ring is more than an object, it is a companion for a life of moments both everyday and extraordinary. The sapphire offers resilience as well as beauty, corundum being one of the hardest gems available, and the 14K white gold setting provides a secure and wearable platform for daily life. The intense green color and the thoughtful mixed brilliant cut make the stone equally suited to catching sunlight on a summer day or reflecting the warm glow of evening. Slight inclusions speak to the gem natural history and give it identity, a reminder that perfect is not the same as meaningful. Whether you are choosing this ring as a symbol of commitment, a personal milestone, or a gift to pass down, it arrives with provenance from Madagascar, a professional heat treatment to ensure lasting color, and the careful hand finishing of skilled jewelers.
