Antique Style Green Sapphire Ring 1.30 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring speaks to a long and noble lineage of gem wearing, where gemstones were treasured not only for their beauty, but for their symbolism and enduring presence across generations. Green sapphires have an understated, ancient charm, observed in historic collections and admired by connoisseurs who value depth and subtlety over fleeting trends. At the heart of this piece sits a transparent oval shape green sapphire weighing 1.30 carats, measuring 7.32 x 6.22 x 3.48 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances fiery scintillation with a classic silhouette. The stone displays intense color saturation and an excellent polish, with a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that speaks to its natural origin and gives the gem a unique personality that evolves with different lights and settings. This sapphire has no enhancement, preserving its original character and connecting the wearer to an earth formed story that predates modern alteration.

The setting honors timeless design principles while offering meticulous contemporary craftsmanship. The sapphire is securely set in a refined four prong mount, allowing light to enter the stone from all relevant angles, enhancing both its depth and sparkle. The band is crafted entirely in platinum 950, a metal long associated with enduring value and regal taste, chosen for its strength and the way it complements the cool, verdant tones of the green sapphire. Subtle hand engraved motifs along the shoulders and the shank recall antique jewelry traditions, creating a landscape of delicate scrollwork that frames the center gem and evokes the feel of heirloom pieces passed through generations. The mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire provides a lively interplay between brilliance and the stone core, while the excellent polish ensures each facet catches the light with the quiet authority of a gem that has been thoughtfully cut and finished.
