Floral Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 2.30 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 2.30 carat round greenish blue sapphire, measuring 8.06 x 7.92 x 5.30 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a faceted pavilion geometry optimized for return of light, with a crown faceting scheme that emphasizes scintillation and color dispersion. The mixed brilliant cut reduces windowing, concentrates pavilion depth in the lower girdle facets, and produces a lively balance between brilliance and fire, which is particularly effective for sapphires with medium color saturation. The stone is graded slightly included at eye level, which signifies minimal internal features that do not impede overall transparency, and the excellent polish enhances facet junction crispness and light throughput. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance noted for producing sapphires with cooler blue tones and a characteristic clarity profile, and the greenish blue hue in this specimen is accentuated by the facet layout to display subtle flashes of aqua and cornflower tones under varied lighting.

The mounting is executed in platinum 950 with a six prong crown and a pierced gallery that reads as a modern reinterpretation of classical solitaires, combining structural security with open workmanship that allows light to enter the pavilion from multiple angles. The prong geometry and slight cathedral shoulders reference the structural clarity of the Tiffany six prong solitaire, while the pierced, floral-inspired gallery and delicate shoulder lines recall the airy filigree seen in Edwardian and Belle Epoque pieces, translated here into the stronger, corrosion resistant context of platinum 950 for everyday wear. Craftsmanship techniques include precision hand setting of each prong to center the mixed brilliant cut correctly above the gallery, exacting seat cut to support the girdle without stress, and a high polish finish on the shank to contrast with the sapphire surface. This combination of a Ceylon mixed brilliant sapphire and a robust yet refined platinum 950 mounting exemplifies The Natural Sapphire Company approach to pairing gemstone performance with historical setting cues, delivering both optical refinement and secure, wearable engineering.
