Floral Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 2.41 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers a beautifully transparent, Other certified greenish blue sapphire, weighing 2.41 carat, with dimensions eight point zero zero by seven point eight nine by five point zero four millimeters, cut as a round mixed brilliant. The mixed brilliant faceting combines a modified brilliant crown with a pavilion that blends step elements, producing strong scintillation while preserving face up size, the table and crown facets optimized for controlled light return, the pavilion depth tuned to enhance both brilliance and color saturation. The stone is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, exhibiting vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, with facet junctions that display sharpness and symmetry under loupe inspection. The sapphire is from Madagascar, and it is unenhanced, a factor that materially affects long term value and rarity compared to heat treated or diffused material, certification confirming its natural state and origin. The cut proportions yield a depth of five point zero four millimeters over an average diameter of approximately seven point nine four five millimeters, giving a depth to diameter ratio that supports strong light performance and a substantial face up presence for a two point four one carat round stone.

Color in this specimen is technically complex, sitting in the greenish blue range with vivid saturation, strong color concentration and lively chroma that shifts subtly with lighting, highlighting the pleochroic nature common to corundum where greenish and bluish components can dominate from different angles. Because the sapphire is unenhanced, the color is intrinsic to its crystal chemistry and trace element balance, and the vivid intensity here can be compared favorably to stones seen in notable museum and historic pieces, where tone and saturation are prized above pure hue. While sapphires from classical localities can exhibit different characteristic hues, this Madagascar stone demonstrates a richness and depth that places it in the upper tier of natural, untreated material, and its eye clean clarity allows the color to read uniformly across the table without distraction from included features. The combination of vivid saturation, absence of enhancement, and precise mixed brilliant faceting produces a gem that competes with high quality natural sapphires found in more famous rings, particularly where color intensity and visual balance are the primary measures of quality.

The mounting is executed entirely in eighteen karat white gold, chosen as a neutral, high luster backdrop that enhances the greenish blue face up while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic and robust durability. The setting employs a secure four prong head with an open gallery that permits light to enter and exit the pavilion, improving overall return and scintillation, while the shank and shoulders are crafted with controlled line work to support the center without overpowering its visual weight. The workmanship shows careful hand finishing at the juncture points, precise soldering and a consistent high polish on all exposed surfaces, which together ensure that light interacts efficiently with the mixed brilliant faceting rather than being absorbed by the metalwork. For clients who compare settings by atelier standards, the construction here mirrors techniques used in higher end custom work, where the priority is to marry secure, lasting fabrication with optical optimization for the stone, maximizing both durability and aesthetic impact.

For the connoisseur who understands the nuances of cut style, color grading and provenance, this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a technically refined choice, a two point four one carat round mixed brilliant that balances face up area and depth, showing vivid greenish blue color and eye clean clarity in an untreated Madagascar sapphire. The absence of treatment increases both collectability and long term value when compared to similar appearing material that has undergone heat or diffusion, and the sapphire hardness and toughness make it well suited for regular wear, including as an engagement piece, without sacrificing stability. If you are considering pieces that are comparable to those in more renowned collections in terms of color and finish, this example stands out for its unenhanced color intensity, its mixed brilliant design that manages light elegantly, and the meticulous eighteen karat white gold execution that enhances rather than competes with the gem.
