Antique Style Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 0.99 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring showcases a transparent 0.99 carat oval greenish blue sapphire, with exact dimensions of 6.35 x 5.15 x 3.58 mm, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that optimizes both fire and scintillation. The sapphire carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, assessed at eye level, which means that inclusions are minimal and do not distract from its overall transparency or its ability to transmit light, making it a refined centerpiece for an important piece of jewellery. The color displays medium intense saturation, a balanced tone that yields a vivid greenish blue hue without appearing overly dark, and the finish is elevated by an excellent polish that allows the facets to play with light effectively. This stone has undergone heat treatment, which is an established and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that stabilizes and improves the gem color, and the sapphire originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing attractive greenish blue and teal sapphires that combine appealing color with good clarity. The mounting is crafted entirely in 18K white gold, offering a cool, reflective setting that contrasts and frames the center stone, while a halo of natural white round diamonds, with a combined weight of approximately 0.30 carats, clarity grades of VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, surrounds the sapphire, contributing both measurable white light return and a delicate halo effect that increases the perceived size and sparkle of the central gem.

From a gemological perspective, the mixed brilliant cut of the oval sapphire is selected to balance depth and table proportions, enhancing both color saturation and brilliance, and the excellent polish further improves light return, contributing to a lively face up appearance that catches the eye with lively flashes of green and blue. The clarity grade very slightly included indicates that inclusions are present under magnification and may be visible under close inspection, but they do not detract from the gem at normal viewing distances, and they often serve as natural identifiers that attest to the stone being natural rather than synthetic. Heat treatment is disclosed deliberately, and it is important to an educated buyer to know that such treatment is stable and permanent, it does not compromise the structural integrity of the corundum, and it is a standard practice used to present sapphires at their best. The white diamonds that form the halo are well matched in both color and clarity, with VS clarity and F color yielding a clean, near colorless appearance that complements the cooler tones of the white gold and the greenish blue of the sapphire, while their collective 0.30 carat weight is distributed to create a continuous ring of light, enhancing the center stone without overpowering it.

Beyond the technical specifications, the brilliance of this sapphire and its surrounding diamonds makes the piece an expressive symbol of enduring commitment, as brilliance in a ring is often read as a metaphor for clarity, fidelity, and the continual renewal of light between two people. Sapphires have long been associated with loyalty and wisdom, and the durability of sapphire, rated 9 on the Mohs scale, makes it exceptionally suitable for daily wear as a sign of an ongoing bond, with the mixed brilliant cut ensuring that the gem continually returns light to the viewer, much like the reciprocal glow of a lasting relationship. The halo of white diamonds amplifies that message, representing shared moments and small acts of kindness that together create a luminous whole, while the 18K white gold setting offers resilience and a refined backdrop that will remain elegant over time with proper care.
