Accent Stones Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 5.60 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent, greenish blue Ceylon sapphire, weighing 5.60 carat and cut in an emerald shape with dimensions 10.52 by 8.56 by 5.79 millimeters. Evaluated at eye level, the sapphire is eye clean and exhibits medium color saturation with an excellent polish. The stone is natural and untreated, originating from Sri Lanka, a region historically renowned for producing sapphires with clean crystal structure and fine color. The rectangular facets of the emerald cut emphasize the stone’s internal clarity and stepping planes, presenting broad flashes of color rather than scintillation, and allowing the gem’s subtle blue and green tones to read evenly across the table. The sapphire is set in an 18K white gold ring, flanked by straight baguette shaped natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.56 carat, graded color E and clarity Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2. The linear profile of the baguette diamonds and the cool white of the gold provide a restrained geometric frame that complements the sapphire’s pavilion depth and table size without overpowering its presence.

Ceylon sapphires have long been prized for their distinct, often lighter tones and clarity, a provenance that contributes to both aesthetic and collector value. Historically, Sri Lankan stones were traded along maritime routes that linked the Indian Ocean to Europe, establishing a reputation for quality that persists in modern gemology. The absence of treatment in this sapphire further enhances its significance, as natural, unenhanced stones of this size and clarity are comparatively uncommon and therefore command greater interest among connoisseurs. The emerald cut, with its broad, flat facets, reveals the gem’s internal character and affirms the eye clean grade, making inclusions, when present, part of the gem’s individual story rather than a distraction. The inclusion of precision-cut white baguette diamonds provides measured contrast in hue and sparkle, contributing weight and linear rhythm to the band while maintaining a balanced total diamond weight of approximately 0.56 carat. Crafted in 18K white gold and assembled with attention to proportion and polish, this ring represents a considered marriage of material quality and classical design, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company.
