Antique Style Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.01 Ct., 14K White & Yellow

This ring centers on a 1.01 carat oval shape greenish blue sapphire, carefully proportioned at 6.28 x 5.42 x 4.02 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a controlled step influenced pavilion, this faceting schema optimizes both scintillation and color saturation while limiting windowing. The mixed brilliant cut creates a lively balance between sparkle and depth, the crown facets deliver fine pinpoint flashes and the pavilion facets return color rich light to the viewer, the result is an intense greenish blue presence with excellent polish across all facet junctions. Clarity is reported as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the stone presents as effectively eye clean with internal features that do not detract from light performance, this clarity grade allows for maximum transparency and depth of color. The measured depth of 4.02 millimeters produces a depth ratio of approximately 68.7 percent relative to the average of the length and width, a proportion that contributes to the strong color saturation typical of Montana origin sapphires, the provenance further informs the stone character by lending a natural, cool to slightly teal tonal nuance that reads beautifully against white accent materials.

Surrounding the central sapphire is a precisely set halo of white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.30 carats total, each diamond graded between VS1 and VS2 clarity and F color, this selection ensures a high degree of brilliance and near colorless body tone that enhances the perceived chroma of the central stone. The round diamonds are calibrated to create a consistent bright perimeter, their brilliant facet geometry complements the mixed cut of the sapphire, increasing contrast and apparent size without overwhelming the primary gem. The head and halo are executed in 14 karat white gold to maximize optical contrast, the white metal interface intensifies the diamonds white flash and provides a neutral reflector that clarifies the sapphire hue at crown level. Prong work is fine and evenly spaced, each prong precisely seated to minimize shadowing on the pavilion girdle interface while maintaining mechanical security, the gallery architecture is engineered to allow light ingress to the pavilion facets while offering structural support to both the sapphire and its diamond halo, the overall craftsmanship emphasizes symmetry, tight bezel alignment of the diamonds in their settings, and consistent faceting reflections between center and surround.

The band and lower shank are fabricated in 14 karat yellow gold, a deliberate material choice that provides a warm counterpoint to the cool white gold head and the greenish blue of the sapphire, 14 karat gold combines a desirable balance of precious metal content and mechanical strength, the 14 karat alloy contains approximately 58.3 percent gold while the remaining alloying metals increase hardness and resistance to deformation during everyday wear. For customers prioritizing longevity, 14 karat yellow gold and 14 karat white gold offer improved scratch resistance and structural durability compared to higher karat alternatives, the increased alloy content in 14 karat constructions reduces susceptibility to bending under lateral loads and holds prongs and settings more securely over time. Both metals respond well to routine maintenance, minor surface abrasions and small distortions can be corrected through professional re polishing and light annealing without significant material loss, the white gold head maintains its bright reflective surface and the yellow gold shank preserves its warm tone while continuing to provide robust tensile strength in high stress areas, such as shoulder junctions and prong bases. We recommend periodic inspection of prong security, professional cleaning, and re polishing every two to three years under normal wear conditions to maintain the optical and structural integrity of the piece, The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the construction and gemological specifications of this ring, offering detailed documentation of the sapphire origin, cut, clarity and the supporting diamond grades, this ring is engineered for both aesthetic refinement and long term wearable durability.
