Floral Green Sapphire Ring 1.25 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent one point two five carat oval green sapphire, measuring seven point one two by five point zero seven by four point zero three millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with color retention. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is described as very very slightly included, meaning the stone is effectively eye clean to most observers, with inclusions only evident under magnification. The sapphire exhibits vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, attributes that speak to both the material quality and the lapidary care invested in the gem. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long regarded for producing sapphires with lively hues and strong transparency, and this provenance is a meaningful factor for the informed buyer assessing rarity and market desirability. The gem is set in a fully finished fourteen karat yellow gold mounting, a warm metal choice that complements and slightly intensifies the green hue while providing durable, everyday wearability.

From a light performance perspective the mixed brilliant oval presents an appealing compromise between the maximum fire and brilliance associated with round brilliant cuts and the color emphasis of step cuts such as the emerald style. The mixed brilliant pavilion facets promote strong return of white light and lively scintillation as the stone moves, while the modified crown facets help preserve the stone s vivid green saturation, avoiding the excessive light leakage that can mute color in some cuts. With an effective depth of approximately sixty six percent relative to the average table dimensions the proportions support balanced light return, minimizing windowing and encouraging even face up color. Compared with a round brilliant of the same carat weight the oval offers a larger face up appearance and an elongated silhouette that visually lengthens the finger, at a modest trade off of slightly less uniform brilliance around the perimeter. Compared with a step cut the mixed brilliant oval will sparkle more and mask minor internal features better, while still allowing the vivid Sri Lankan color to remain the dominant visual attribute. For the discerning buyer the combination of a natural Ceylon origin, eye level clarity of very very slightly included, vivid saturation, excellent polish and a mixed brilliant cut set in fourteen karat yellow gold represents a well considered balance of aesthetic impact and gemological quality, a presentation we are proud to offer at The Natural Sapphire Company.
