Solitaire Green Sapphire Ring 2.20 Ct., 18K Rose Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.20 carat pear shape green sapphire, with dimensions 10.11 by 7.05 by 4.40 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fire and face up color. The sapphire is graded very slightly included at eye level, with light color saturation and an excellent polish. No enhancement has been applied to the stone, and its geological origin is Madagascar. The gem sits within an 18K rose gold mounting, an intentional choice that complements the stone while retaining an open and elevated silhouette. The Natural Sapphire Company selected these materials and proportions to present an honest representation of the sapphire, and to permit careful evaluation of its intrinsic color and clarity without obscuring metalwork.

The 18K rose gold setting enhances the sapphire color through warm contrast and reflective interaction. The pinkish warmth of rose gold juxtaposes with the cool green of the sapphire, creating a perception of increased color vibrancy without modifying the stone itself. Polished inner surfaces within the head and the gallery act as secondary reflectors, returning warm highlights into the pavilion and crown facets, and thereby subtly enriching the face up tone. The mixed brilliant cut responds to those reflections by distributing light across the crown, so that the interplay between metal and faceting emphasizes the stone color uniformly from multiple viewing angles. The overall effect is an enhancement of the sapphire hue that remains true to the natural, unenhanced material, and that relies on optical placement and metal tone rather than treatment of the gem.

Clarity benefits from the ring design through minimal visual obstruction and considered prong geometry. The mounting is crafted to secure the pear shape while exposing the table and most of the crown, permitting unobstructed observation at eye level where the very slight inclusions are evaluated. Slender prongs and an open under gallery reduce shadowing from the setting, allowing the mixed brilliant facet pattern to maximize light return and scintillation. The excellent polish of the sapphire works in tandem with the polished gold surfaces, creating crisp contrast and clear reflections that accentuate the stone transparency. By pairing a transparent, well polished gem with a restrained yet supportive setting, the design highlights clarity characteristics, enabling the wearer to appreciate the clean appearance of the sapphire in daily wear.

The combination of a 2.20 carat pear shape green sapphire, unenhanced origin Madagascar, and an 18K rose gold mounting yields a ring that balances visual refinement with structural practicality. The elevated head and open gallery facilitate inspection and cleaning, while the warm gold alloy contributes both aesthetic warmth and reliable wear characteristics. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this piece as an example of considered gem setting, where material choice and proportions are used to enhance natural attributes rather than to conceal them. For those seeking a ring that reveals the true color and clarity of an unenhanced green sapphire, this design provides a measured, durable, and visually coherent solution, and it is suitable for continued appraisal and enjoyment over time.
