Accent Stones Green Sapphire Ring 1.05 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the mountain slopes of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the warm glow of an 18K yellow gold band, this ring begins its life in a place where sapphires have been treasured for centuries. Our 1.05 carat round green sapphire was selected from carefully sourced rough, its light color saturation and transparent nature promising a rare delicacy. After gentle, controlled heat treatment to enhance stability and color, master cutters fashioned the stone into a mixed brilliant cut measuring 6.18 x 6.23 x 3.81 mm, bringing forth an excellent polish that reveals the stone at its most luminous. The included clarity, evaluated at eye level, tells the story of the sapphire as it grew beneath the earth, and that natural history is embraced rather than erased. At The Natural Sapphire Company our goldsmiths then set this center stone into a refined four prong head, flanked by white pear shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.20 carats with clarity Very Slightly Included VS1 VS2 and color grade F, and complemented by white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.06 carats with the same clarity and color grades. The result is a ring that balances the organic narrative of the Ceylon sapphire with the timeless precision of hand finishing, the warm 18K yellow gold band cradling the stones and inviting admiration.

When we compare durability to similar designs on the market this ring offers a reassuring combination of toughness and considered protection. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, so it resists everyday abrasion far better than most gemstones commonly set in engagement styles, and the heat treatment applied is a stable, industry standard enhancement that does not compromise structural integrity. Because the center gem carries natural inclusions visible at eye level, care in setting is important, and our prong construction is engineered to secure the stone while allowing light to animate its mixed brilliant facets. Relative to bezel set or deeply recessed designs a prong set ring is slightly more exposed to lateral knocks, yet it is significantly more robust than delicate openwork or plated fashion rings commonly seen in the market. The 18K yellow gold offers a luxurious surface and long term resilience, though it is softer than lower karat alloys so periodic inspection of prongs and shoulders is advisable. With routine checks, gentle cleaning, and sensible precautions against hard impacts, this ring will wear as gracefully as its story suggests, marrying Ceylon provenance with enduring craftsmanship from The Natural Sapphire Company.
