Three Stone Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.69 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.69 carat cushion shape greenish blue sapphire, precisely measured at 6.56 x 6.50 x 4.77 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant configuration to optimise both color and light performance. The mixed brilliant faceting integrates a brilliant style crown with a modified pavilion faceting scheme, a combination that concentrates scintillation across the table and crown facets while retaining depth of tone through the pavilion planes, producing an intense color saturation that reads as greenish blue in varied lighting. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that natural internal characteristics are minor and do not impede transparency or light transmission, and the excellent polish attests to careful lapidary finishing that maximises facet crispness and minimizes surface disturbance. This sapphire has undergone standard heat treatment to enhance hue and clarity stability, and its Montana origin contributes to the distinctive teal leaning color profile often associated with that locality, which pairs particularly well with neutral white metal settings for contrast and color pop.

Flanking the sapphire are white trapezoid shaped natural diamonds with a combined approximate weight of 0.30 carats, cut and matched to serve as optical companions to the center stone. These trapezoids are selected for a color grade of F and a clarity range of Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, providing a high degree of white light return without visible inclusion distractions at normal viewing distance. The trapezoid geometry creates clean shoulder lines and a graduated transition from the center cushion to the band, allowing light reflected from the diamonds to feed into the emerald like pavilion of the sapphire and increase perceived brightness. The mounting utilises a four prong head for the center sapphire with precision formed prongs that secure the pavilion and crown girdle while keeping the table area open for maximum light entry, and the trapezoid diamonds are set into calibrated seats at the shoulders to maintain structural continuity and lateral support. Every facet junction and seat has been executed to tight tolerances, the white diamonds are aligned to mirror the sapphire facet orientation, and the overall finish on all stones is supported by the ring architecture to ensure long term stability of the settings.

The ring is fully fabricated in 14K white gold, chosen for its combination of strength and color neutrality, and the band geometry demonstrates a deliberate balance between elegance and everyday functionality. The shank tapers subtly from the shoulders to the base, providing visual refinement at the top of the ring while maintaining sufficient metal mass below the fingers for comfort and durability, and the profile is engineered to a low to medium rise to reduce snagging during daily wear while preserving an open undergallery to encourage light passage and facilitate cleaning. Structural elements such as the prong shoulders, trapezoid seats, and the underbasket are integrated so that load from knocks or pressure disperses across multiple metal paths rather than concentrating at a single point, a practical detail that extends the lifetime of the mount without compromising the clean, elegant silhouette. At The Natural Sapphire Company we apply meticulous hand finishing to junctions and polish planes, perform final optical and mechanical inspections, and can accommodate minor bespoke adjustments to optimize finger fit and setting security, and we recommend routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoidance of strong chemicals and impacts, and professional inspections to maintain stone security and polish, ensuring the technical excellence of the design is matched by long term wearability and aesthetic presence.
