Pave Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 2.40 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a transparent 2.40 carat heart shape greenish blue sapphire, measuring 7.80 x 8.41 x 4.88 mm and cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize brilliance and color distribution. The sapphire is graded as eye clean at normal viewing distance, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, and its origin is Madagascar. Complementing the sapphire are white round natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.27 carats, 0.112 carats, and 0.045 carats respectively, all graded VS for clarity and F G for color. The combined diamond weight is approximately 0.427 carats. The entire composition is set in platinum 950, with secure prong work and a fine pavé treatment along the shoulders that integrates the diamonds with the band for a refined profile. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this design with attention to proportion and stone security.

In terms of durability and suitability for daily wear, corundum sapphires are among the most durable gem materials, with a Mohs hardness of nine compared with ten for diamond, and significantly higher scratch resistance than gemstones such as quartz or topaz. The sapphire in this ring will resist everyday abrasion and maintain polish over time, while the surrounding diamonds provide additional surface hardness where they flank the center stone. Platinum 950 adds structural strength and long term security for the settings, as the metal is dense and retains the prongs that protect the sapphire point. Because the sapphire is fashioned in a heart shape, the pointed tip is the most exposed area and benefits from careful prong protection and routine inspection. The ring is well suited to daily wear when common sense precautions are observed, such as avoiding hard impacts, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, and activities that could subject the ring to concentrated blows. Periodic professional inspection and maintenance will preserve stone security and finish, and The Natural Sapphire Company recommends regular checks to ensure prongs remain sound and to keep the piece in optimal condition.
