Accent Stones Green Sapphire Ring 1.51 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From the rugged hills of Tanzania to the refined curve of a ring that rests against the hand, this green sapphire has a story that begins where the earth still speaks in stones. Brought to light by local miners whose generations have worked the same veins of corundum, the 1.51 carat pear shape green sapphire captures both place and process in its deep, intense color saturation. Measuring 9.11 by 6.36 by 3.57 millimeters, the gem was recognized at the mine for its transparency and clarity grade described as very slightly included when viewed at eye level. No enhancement was applied, so what you see is the sapphire as it formed, its mixed brilliant cut chosen to honor the stone rather than change it, and its excellent polish revealing facets that catch the light like a forest at dusk. When you hold this gem you are holding a fragment of Tanzanian earth that has been coaxed into beauty rather than transformed beyond recognition.

At The Natural Sapphire Company the story continues in the hands of cutters and setters who listened to the stone before shaping it. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to maximize the green core and to bring lively scintillation across the pear outline, while the gentle proportions preserve a depth that gives the color its intensity. To frame the sapphire, we set the ring in warm 14K yellow gold, where a delicate gallery of flowing lines rises to meet the stone and secure it with refined prongs. Accenting the shoulders are white natural round diamonds totalling approximately 0.03 carats each graded Very Slightly Included in the range of VS1 to VS2, and a color grade of F, chosen to add bright flashes without distracting from the green center. Every facet was polished to an excellent finish, and every setting turnaround was executed to protect the stone while showcasing its pear shape silhouette and the intricate metalwork that cradles it.

When thinking of daily wearability it matters to compare hardness, toughness, and the ring construction, so you can wear this piece with confidence. Sapphire is a corundum with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond which rates at ten. That means sapphire resists scratches far better than gemstones like topaz and quartz, and it noticeably outperforms more fragile gems such as opal and many varieties of garnet. Corundum also has no true cleavage like some other gemstones, which improves its resistance to splitting, but all gemstones can chip if struck against a hard corner, so common sense matters. The small round diamonds on the shoulders bring a hardness of ten and add durability to the accents, while the 14K yellow gold setting offers more resilience against daily knocks than softer higher karat alloys. Because this sapphire has no enhancements, ultrasonic cleaning is generally safe, but as with any treasured piece we recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush for routine care, avoiding harsh chemicals and impact. Periodic inspections of the prongs and gallery will ensure the long term security of the stone, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is always available to assist with service and advice.

Beyond measurements and standards this ring is a conversation between origin and craft, a wearable heirloom that carries the trace of its formation and the fingerprint of human skill. The pear shape has an elongating elegance that flatters the finger, while the deep, intense green speaks to renewal, growth, and a rare natural tranquility. The very slightly included clarity tells you that this is a natural stone, not a laboratory copy, and those tiny inclusions are welcome reminders of a life formed under pressure and time. The mixed brilliant cut scatters light in lively flashes, and the warm 14K yellow gold complements the green with a vintage inspired glow that wears easily from day into evening. When you choose this ring you take home more than a jewel, you take a story, and with the provenance and craftsmanship we provide at The Natural Sapphire Company you also take reassurance. We stand behind the durability and authenticity of every element, and we welcome you to make this Tanzanian green sapphire a part of your life, a piece to be worn, loved, and handed down.
