Accent Stones Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.94 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a 1.94 carat Ceylon sapphire, an oval of 8.19 by 6.02 by 4.79 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant geometry that balances scintillation and color depth. The mixed brilliant faceting places a brilliant style facet arrangement on the crown to enhance fire and scintillation, while the pavilion employs modified step facets to deepen tone and preserve saturation, producing an even, intense greenish blue hue across the table. Evaluated at eye level, the stone is eye clean, indicating no inclusions visible to the unaided eye, and the polish is graded excellent, delivering crisp facet junctions and lively surface reflection. The stone has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in Ceylon sapphires, applied to optimize tone and saturation with minimal alteration to the underlying crystal structure, and its Sri Lankan origin contributes characteristic silk and zoning patterns that seasoned gemmologists use to corroborate provenance.

Flanking the central sapphire are white natural half moon diamonds and tapered baguette diamonds, chosen and matched for optical compatibility and symmetry. The half moons total approximately 0.30 carats, each graded Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of E, ensuring a near colorless backdrop that enhances the sapphire without introducing warmth. Complementary tapered baguette diamonds total approximately 0.07 carats, also graded VS1 and VS2 clarity and E color, their step style facets providing contrast through clean, linear reflections that frame the central oval. The geometry of the half moons and the tapered baguettes is selected to maintain visual balance along the shoulder, with precisely cut girdles and tight symmetry to avoid light leakage. The combination of brilliant derived and step cut elements produces a controlled interplay between sparkle and measured reflection, allowing the greenish blue saturation of the center stone to remain the focal element.

The mounting is entirely executed in 14K yellow gold, with construction prioritizing long term durability and refined finish. Prongs are calibrated to the oval dimensions to secure the sapphire while minimizing metal shadow on the pavilion facets, and the gallery is articulated to allow light ingress beneath the table without compromising structural integrity. Side stones are knife edged and channel bolstered where the tapered baguettes meet the shoulders, and hand finishing of bezels and prongs yields tight junctions and consistent polish across high wear zones. The Natural Sapphire Company applies meticulous QC at every stage, using calibrated microscopes to verify meeting of facet junctions, laser measurement to confirm stone siting and alignment, and controlled karat verification for the 14K alloy to ensure consistent color and hardness. The overall proportions are engineered to sit with an even silhouette on the finger, offering a combination of practical wearability and gemological refinement.

Ethical sourcing and traceability underpin the selection of all gem and metal inputs for this piece, a practice The Natural Sapphire Company follows rigorously. The sapphire is sourced from Sri Lanka through vetted channels that provide documentation of mine origin and treatment history, and the disclosed heat treatment is part of a transparent reporting process that accompanies the gem. Diamonds are natural, sourced via suppliers who adhere to chain of custody protocols and conflict free assurances, and are selected for both optical match and responsible procurement. The company maintains audited supplier relationships and supports traceable supply lines to reduce environmental impact and improve miners livelihoods where feasible. For discerning buyers requiring formal verification, The Natural Sapphire Company provides full laboratory reports or detailed internal gemmological assessments on request, high resolution imaging, and options for bespoke modifications, resizing and care plans, enabling a technically informed purchase with documented provenance and craftsmanship.
