Three Stone Green Sapphire Ring 3.03 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From the moment the first glint of green was spotted in the alluvial river gravels of Madagascar, this sapphire began a journey that blends the ancient geology of the island with the careful stewardship of people who love gemstones. Madagascar is a place where tectonic patience and volcanic temperament have created pockets of extraordinary mineral wealth, and the 3.03 carat oval green sapphire that anchors this ring is a direct heir of that story. Carefully recovered by partner miners who work within communities that prioritize fair wages and safer working conditions, this sapphire is traceable to its source, and it carries with it the nuance of its birthplace. At 10.30 by 7.59 by 4.71 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes its luster, the stone shows a medium intense saturation of green that feels both fresh and refined. Its clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a natural fingerprint that reminds the wearer that this is a genuine, unenhanced gem, carrying no heat treatment and no other laboratory enhancements.

The choice to present this stone without enhancement speaks to a philosophy that values authenticity and transparency. The green sapphire displays an excellent polish, a finish achieved through hours of patient cutting and repeated inspection, by craftsmen who understand how light must enter and return to reveal the best of a gemstone s natural color and internal life. Mixed brilliant cutting was selected to balance sparkle with color, drawing fire from the pavilion while preserving the purity of the green hue through the crown. Each facet was laid out to celebrate the stone s natural proportions and inclusions, and the result is a gemstone that appears lively and alive, an elemental relic transformed into a jewel. Because there are no enhancements, the color and clarity you see are the color and clarity given by nature, and the origin in Madagascar is part of that provenance, confirming that what you hold is natural, unaltered, and responsibly sourced.

Around the central sapphire, two white pear shaped natural diamonds sit as companions, together weighing approximately 0.30 carats. Their clarity grades of VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, offer crisp white contrast against the green center, adding a refined, luminous silhouette on either shoulder of the ring. The diamonds were selected from responsibly sourced parcels, chosen to harmonize in size and brightness without overpowering the sapphire. The entire composition is set in warm 18K yellow gold, a metal selected for its enduring beauty and its historical resonance as a symbol of continuity and commitment. Skilled jewelers at The Natural Sapphire Company worked to design a mounting that cradles the sapphire securely with four graceful prongs, while allowing light to penetrate and energize the stone. The side settings for the pear diamonds are sculpted to support and reflect light, creating a conversation between the green center and its white accents, and each joint and polish was hand finished to achieve a seamless elegance.
