Solitaire Green Sapphire Ring 2.55 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a naturally formed, transparent green sapphire weighing 2.55 carats, presented in an elegant oval silhouette. The stone measures 9.07 by 6.85 by 4.35 millimeters, and is cut in a mixed brilliant style designed to balance color depth with internal brilliance. Clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the stone’s overall transparency. The sapphire displays dark color saturation, producing a rich, deep green tone characteristic of fine Ceylon sapphires, and it has been given an excellent polish to optimize light return and surface finish. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, and is of Sri Lankan origin, a provenance noted for producing vivid and well-formed sapphires.

The gem is mounted in a refined 14 karat yellow gold setting, fully handcrafted to exacting tolerances for both appearance and durability. The mounting secures the sapphire with a multi-prong crown and a reinforced under-gallery, engineered to support the girdle and pavilion while minimizing exposure of vulnerable facet junctions to direct impact. Prongs are tapered and finished with smooth, rounded tips to reduce the risk of catching on fabric, and the shoulders of the ring are proportioned to distribute mechanical stress away from the setting. The band transitions into a solid, uniform shank that provides consistent support around the circumference of the setting, and the inner profile of the ring is polished for comfortable wear. These design choices were selected to afford peace of mind for everyday wear while maintaining a clean and classic silhouette.

Optically, the mixed brilliant cut of the oval sapphire offers a considered balance between scintillation and color saturation, allowing the stone’s deep green to read consistently face-up while still providing flashes of light from the crown facets. The excellent polish enhances facet definition, improving contrast and sparkle in different lighting conditions. With minimal eye-visible inclusions, the field of view presents a visually clean surface that complements the darker saturation of the material. The elongated oval form provides a graceful presence on the finger, creating an impression of size beyond the numerical carat weight, and the warm tone of 14 karat yellow gold subtly intensifies the green hue, yielding a harmonious and sophisticated color relationship between metal and gemstone.

This ring is finished and quality checked by experienced craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company, with attention to secure mounting and long-term structural integrity. For routine care, periodic inspection of prongs and the gallery is recommended to confirm that settings remain secure, and professional cleaning restores surface luster without affecting the stone. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide additional close-up images or videos on request to demonstrate the setting detail and how the mounting secures the sapphire, and resizing or custom finishing options are available to adapt the piece to personal preferences. The overall construction and setting philosophy prioritize protection of the gemstone while presenting its color and cut in a refined, enduring design.
