Antique Style Green Sapphire Ring 3.44 Ct., 14K White Gold

This green sapphire began its journey deep within the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where generations of miners have long understood how light and mineral combine to create rare color. Carefully extracted and transported to gem cutters who respect the stone as both material and memory, this GIA certified green 3.44 carat oval shape sapphire was shaped to reveal its character, measured at 8.69 x 7.98 x 6.74 mm and faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to balance brilliance and depth. With medium color saturation and an excellent polish, the stone carries the soft vitality of its island origin, and its included clarity evaluated at eye level gives the gem a distinctive personality that speaks to natural formation rather than laboratory perfection. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that provenance and the GIA certification that accompanies it, ensuring every facet tells the story from mine to market.

Set into a classic halo ring of 18K white gold, the sapphire is embraced by a cluster of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.60 carats, graded Very Slightly Included in clarity and color F, which surround and elevate the center stone with crisp, icy contrast. The mixed brilliant cut oval at the center, combined with the protective halo and secure prong setting, strengthens the ring for everyday enjoyment. In terms of durability this sapphire is an excellent choice for daily wear, sapphires rate nine on the Mohs hardness scale and are second only to diamonds in resistance to scratches, while diamonds themselves rate ten and provide ideal accent durability. Because this particular sapphire carries inclusions visible at eye level those features should be considered when assessing toughness, as inclusions can on rare occasions influence how a gem responds to impact. The 18K white gold band offers a balance of strength and comfort for constant wear, though it is softer than platinum and will benefit from occasional inspection and polishing. For long term care we recommend removing the ring for heavy manual work, avoiding harsh chemical exposure, and bringing it to The Natural Sapphire Company for periodic checkups and cleaning to preserve the metal finish and secure settings, ensuring this green treasure remains a wearable piece of its own rich history.
