Solitaire Green Sapphire Ring 1.64 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.64 carat oval green sapphire, precisely measured at 8.04 by 6.13 by 3.85 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut. The gem originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and has been heat treated to optimize stability and color. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which renders the stone effectively eye clean under normal viewing conditions. Color presents with medium intense saturation, the balance of hue and tone allowing a lively green that maintains depth without appearing overly dark, and the excellent polish on the pavilion and crown facets enhances both brilliance and surface reflectivity. These characteristics combine to produce a gemstone that reads as both distinctly colored and highly transparent, a quality set out and authenticated by The Natural Sapphire Company.

The mixed brilliant cut of the oval form is a deliberate choice to maximize return of light and to create a dynamic interplay between scintillation and color. The table and crown facets are proportioned to maintain a broad, luminous face, while the mixed facet arrangement below disperses light into a fine scintillation that reveals flashes of lighter green as the stone moves. Medium intense saturation benefits from the cut geometry by permitting light to pass and refract without overwhelming the eye, so that the green appears lively and nuanced. Very slightly included clarity at eye level means that inclusions, where present, are minor and do not obstruct light paths or compromise the gem visually, allowing the polish to function as an unbroken reflective surface, and enabling the sapphire to present a clean, uninterrupted face when viewed from above.

The setting is executed entirely in 14K yellow gold, and every element of the head and band has been designed to showcase the sapphire with minimal visual interference. A four prong head secures the oval at the girdle, placing the claws at cardinal points that expose a maximum portion of the crown, and the prongs are fine enough to reduce metal coverage, while substantial at the base for security. The open gallery under the stone permits light to enter from multiple angles, supporting brightness and internal life, and the basket is constructed to cradle the pavilion while leaving sufficient voids to allow reflective return from beneath. The ring shank is crafted with a gently tapering profile toward the head, which draws the eye upward to the sapphire, and the polished surfaces of the shoulders function as reflective planes that echo the stone, enhancing perceived size and presence. The warm tone of the yellow gold provides a complementary backdrop, softening the edge between metal and gemstone, thereby emphasizing the green chroma through contrast, and the overall silhouette maintains a low to moderate profile for wearability while still giving the gem room to flash.

Craftsmanship and finishing are executed to present a refined, long lasting piece, and the choice of 14K yellow gold balances resilience with a warm aesthetic that accentuates the natural color of the sapphire. Each prong is formed and burnished to minimize sharp edges and to create a secure seat at the girdle, and the interior of the shank is smoothed for comfortable, daily wear. Attention to polish across all metal surfaces ensures that light interacting with the gold complements the sapphire rather than distracting from it, and the clean junctions between head and band indicate precise fabrication techniques. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this ring as an example of considered design, where gemstone quality, cut, and origin are supported by a setting that both protects and elevates the stone, offering a balance of visual impact and practical durability for continued enjoyment.
