Three Stone Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 2.64 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.64 carat emerald cut greenish blue sapphire, dimensions 8.99 x 6.50 x 4.52 mm, with a step cut emerald faceting style that emphasizes color depth through broad, parallel facet planes. The stone displays dark color saturation and a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, no enhancement, and an excellent polish that preserves crisp facet junctions and clean facet reflections. The emerald cut table and pavilion geometry produce broad flashes of color rather than a brilliant scintillation, which makes the sapphire appear richer and fuller in tone, and the 4.52 mm pavilion depth is calibrated to optimize light return while maintaining the visual depth characteristic of step cut stones. Accenting the center, white round lab grown diamonds weighing approximately 0.22 carats, clarity Very Slightly Included in the VS1 and VS2 range, and color grade E, are cut as small round brilliants to provide high contrast and targeted scintillation adjacent to the center stone. All stones are set in 14K yellow gold, which provides warm color contrast to the greenish blue hue while offering the workability needed for precise bezel and prong fabrication. The sapphire is of African origin, and the overall finish exhibits careful seat cutting, well defined prongs, and an excellent polish on the metal surfaces.

From a durability perspective this design balances protection and optical performance with considerations that will matter to technically minded buyers. Sapphire rates 9 on the Mohs scale, making it highly resistant to abrasion and everyday wear, though the emerald cut configuration presents a larger exposed table and step cut corners that can be more vulnerable to localized impact than a deep brilliant cut. The four prong raised setting used here secures the corners while allowing light access through the pavilion, which preserves the gemoplex color presentation, and the gallery and prong construction visible in the setting are engineered to minimize levered stress on the girdle. The 14K yellow gold shank offers greater tensile strength and scratch resistance than higher karat alloys, which makes this ring more resilient than many delicate halo or filigree designs on the market that use thinner shanks or more openwork. Compared to fully bezel set or channel guard styles that prioritize maximum edge protection, this ring trades a small amount of impact shielding for superior color display and optical performance, and the lab grown diamond accents provide durable, high hardness contrast elements. The Natural Sapphire Company has executed this piece with precise seat cutting and secure prong engineering to offer an optimal compromise between visual refinement and everyday durability.
