Halo Greenish Blue Sapphire Earring 0.69 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 14K Rose Gold

These earrings from The Natural Sapphire Company articulate a quiet, technical elegance that makes them a lifelong staple, blending rigorous gemological standards with classic design mechanics. At the center of each earring sits a round, mixed brilliant cut sapphire, the pair totaling 0.69 carats, with dimensions 4.13 x 4.07 x 2.75 mm. The mixed brilliant configuration pairs a full brilliant style crown with modified pavilion facet architecture, providing a balance between color saturation and scintillation while maintaining compact proportions suitable for everyday wear. The gem placement is framed by a halo of white round brilliant diamonds, arranged to maximize contrast and to create a graduated field of reflected white light around the greenish blue sapphire center. The overall silhouette reads as a refined stud, engineered for secure wear with 14K rose gold posts and precision formed butterfly backs, ensuring mechanical stability in addition to aesthetic harmony.

The sapphire material itself is of demonstrable gemological interest, originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and presented with no enhancement. The color is best described as greenish blue with intense saturation, a hue that benefits from the mixed brilliant cutting approach, which concentrates hue while permitting lively internal sparkle. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, so minor internal features are present but do not disrupt the gem s overall face up performance or its capacity to return light to the viewer. The facet junctions and polish are rated excellent, indicating meticulous lapidary work, with facets meeting at clean junctions, a consistent girdle profile, and a pavilion depth executed to promote balanced light return. These parameters combine to produce a sapphire that displays a complex interplay of blue and green tones under variable lighting, while retaining a high degree of transparency and controlled brilliance.

The diamond halo is composed of white round natural diamonds, selected for their near colorless F grade and clarity in the Very Slightly Included range, VS1 and VS2. The diamonds are cut to tight proportions to produce crisp contrast with the central sapphires, contributing both flashing scintillation and an even white field that enhances perceived color saturation in the centers. The documented approximate weights are 0.56 carats for one grouping and 0.40 carats for the complementary grouping, with individual stone placement calibrated for optical balance around each center sapphire. Settings are hand executed in 14K rose gold, employing low profile prongs that secure each diamond while minimizing metal obstruction of light. The gallery construction is open and ventilated, allowing light to enter the stones from multiple angles and facilitating routine cleaning, while the basket and prong junctions are formed to exacting tolerances to prevent stress concentration and to reduce the risk of snagging.

From a craft and care perspective these earrings are engineered for longevity and versatility. The choice of 14K rose gold offers a stable alloy matrix with favorable tensile properties for fine prongs and thin posts, while its warm hue provides an intentional contrast to the greenish blue sapphires, subtly warming the overall appearance without muting the sapphires intense saturation. The untreated Ceylon origin sapphires add collector value and ensure that color stability is intrinsic to the material, rather than the result of post extraction modification. Routine maintenance consists of periodic inspection of prongs and post integrity, and professional ultrasonic or steam cleaning on a recommended schedule, mindful of any gemstones that may have included fractures not visible to the unaided eye. These studs are designed to perform across a wide range of wear scenarios, pairing seamlessly with both daytime tailoring and evening attire, and to remain a measured, enduring component of a jewelled wardrobe, consistent with the standards and provenance expected from The Natural Sapphire Company.
