Pave Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 18.27 Ct., 14K White Gold

Your search for a ring that balances dramatic presence with everyday practicality ends here, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a masterpiece that answers that need. This ring centers on a rare, transparent greenish blue sapphire weighing 18.27 carats, cut in an elegant emerald shape and measuring 16.55 by 12.51 by 8.87 millimeters. The stone displays dark, rich color saturation that reads deep and sophisticated, combined with an eye clean clarity that allows light to travel through the pavilion and hallows without visible inclusions at normal viewing distances. The excellent polish on each facet gives the stone a refined finish, while the classic emerald cut emphasizes the gem s purity of color and broad flashes of tone, making it an ideal choice for someone seeking an engagement ring or a standout piece for a collector. The sapphire is heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that intensifies color and clarity, and its origin from Africa adds a story of provenance that many connoisseurs value.

Surrounding and complementing the center sapphire are white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.48 carats in total, with clarity graded VS and color graded F or G. These diamonds are set into the shank to add a bright and lively frame, providing contrast to the deep blue green of the main stone and enhancing overall brilliance without competing with the sapphire s presence. The entire setting is rendered in 14K white gold, chosen for its bright, neutral tone that pairs beautifully with both the cool intensity of the sapphire and the icy sparkle of the side diamonds. The craftsmanship of the mounting ensures that the sapphire is held securely in a four prong style that maximizes light entry while minimizing obstruction, and the diamonds are channel or pav set into the band to offer secure placement and a smooth profile for comfortable daily wear.

Durability is a central concern when choosing a ring for everyday use, and this sapphire ring performs exceptionally well in that regard. Sapphires are a form of corundum, and with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale they are second in resistance to scratching only to diamond itself. That superior hardness means the chances of everyday abrasions leaving visible scratches on the sapphire are very low, and the stone will retain its polished facets and deep color for generations with reasonable care. The emerald cut also contributes to durability, by presenting broad, flat facets and a step cut geometry that tends to distribute stress evenly across the stone, and by minimizing delicate points that can catch or chip. The 14K white gold mounting offers a balance of strength and resilience, being harder than higher carat gold alloys, which helps protect the gem and the diamonds from knocks and impacts that can occur in a busy daily life.

Caring for this ring is straightforward, and proper care will ensure that it withstands the demands of regular wear while remaining radiant. Heat treatment in sapphires is stable, so ordinary temperature changes in daily life will not affect the enhancement, and routine cleaning with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush is safe. For tougher grime a professional cleaning from a jeweler is advisable, and while the sapphire s hardness makes it highly resistant to scratching, it is wise to remove the ring during heavy manual work or activities that involve hard impacts to avoid stress to the setting or prongs. The diamonds on the band are secure within the mounting, but periodic inspections of prongs and settings will maintain security over time. If you are seeking a ring that offers museum quality color and presence, with the toughness required for an everyday symbol of commitment, this exceptional emerald cut greenish blue sapphire ring from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that desire with confidence and enduring beauty.
