Three Stone Green Sapphire Ring 3.01 Ct., Platinum 950

There are few gemstones that carry with them the sense of ancient trade routes, storied mines, and the quiet authority of nature in the way that a Ceylon sapphire does, and this pear shape green sapphire, set by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a modern heirloom that speaks to that lineage. Sourced from Sri Lanka, the stone weighs 3.01 carats and measures 10.03 by 7.42 by 5.52 millimeters, dimensions that give it a presence both refined and commanding. Its intense color saturation and transparent body allow the eye to travel into the gem, encountering depth and a nuanced palette of green that shifts with movement and light. The sapphire is entirely natural and unenhanced, its excellent polish revealing every plane and angle with crystalline clarity, and its clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, confirms that the stone presents with remarkable purity to the unaided eye. This ring summons the sense of tradition and legacy, the same reverence felt by collectors and connoisseurs who have sought exceptional Ceylon sapphires for centuries, while remaining perfectly suited to contemporary tastes.

What transforms this gem from simply beautiful to extraordinarily luminous is the pear shape and the mixed brilliant cut, a facet design that balances old world craftsmanship with modern optical precision. The mixed brilliant cut pairs a brilliant facet arrangement, typically used on crowns to maximize scintillation, with more linear pavilion facets that channel light back through the face of the gem. In a pear shape, the elongated silhouette acts like a teardrop of light, the narrow tip directing flashes into a focused point, while the broader rounded end disperses fire across a wider field. The cutter of this sapphire has optimized angle relationships and facet proportions to encourage internal reflection, allowing light to enter, refract, and return in a complex interplay of white sparkle and colored flashes. The result is a gem that appears to glow from within, each movement of the hand creating a living display of scintillation and brilliance. Because the sapphire is transparent and unenhanced, the mixed brilliant cut is able to leverage the natural optical properties of corundum fully, producing a balance of brilliance, fire, and saturation that few other combinations achieve.

The setting and complementary diamonds complete the story in a way that honors classical design while ensuring enduring wearability. The ring is crafted in 14K white gold, a metal choice that provides a cool, reflective backdrop, enhancing the vivid green while maintaining the sense of a timeless jewel. Flanking the central sapphire are tapered baguette lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.34 carats in total, each graded Very Slightly Included in clarity, and color grade E, which contribute a crisp, icy contrast that frames and uplifts the central stone. The tapered baguette profile nods to vintage elegance, offering clean lines that draw the eye toward the sapphire, while their step like facets add a complementary geometry to the mixed brilliant crown of the sapphire. The prong setting elevates the pear shape, permitting light to pass freely around and beneath the gem, increasing its visual impact on the finger, and the precise workmanship ensures each diamond and every prong is placed with an eye toward balance and longevity. With The Natural Sapphire Company behind its creation, the ring is presented as more than a jewel, it is a piece designed to be a bearer of personal history, to be passed down, and to command attention with a luminous brilliance that references the past, and brightens every moment in the present.
