Pave Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 3.05 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a beautiful, transparent C.Dunaigre certified greenish blue sapphire weighing 3.05 carats, and it is an exceptional example of West African provenance combined with careful lapidary work. The sapphire is a round shape with a mixed brilliant cut, and its calibrated dimensions of 8.01 x 7.95 x 5.54 mm give it an elegant table and substantial face up presence on the hand. At eye level the stone reads as eye clean, and the vivid color saturation is immediately apparent, producing a lively, deep greenish blue tone that changes subtly with movement. The excellent polish and precise facet junctions on this mixed brilliant cut optimize light return and reduce windowing, which enhances perceived brightness while preserving color depth. The gem has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that improves color and clarity without compromising structural integrity. For an educated buyer, the combination of a reputable laboratory certificate, clear origin, measurable dimensions, and transparent disclosure of treatment provides confidence in the stone, and it confirms that you are acquiring a natural sapphire with documented characteristics and notable visual appeal.

The supporting diamonds and the mounting work together to create a balanced and durable ring that is appropriate for everyday wear. The ring features white round natural diamonds in graduated groupings weighing approximately 0.45 carats, 0.173 carats, and 0.083 carats respectively, and together these accents complement the center stone with refined sparkle and contrast. Each diamond is graded clarity VS and color F or G, grades that indicate very small inclusions that are difficult to see at normal viewing distances, and near colorless tones that provide a clean, bright foil against the rich greenish blue of the sapphire. The careful selection of VS clarity diamonds ensures consistent brilliance along the band and around the gallery, and their round shapes and precise cutting enhance scintillation without competing with the center gem. The total design and gem proportions have been considered to maintain balance, ensuring that the accent diamonds elevate the sapphire while keeping the overall silhouette comfortable for continuous wear.

Durability is a primary advantage of this piece, and it is engineered to be suitable for daily use. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest colored gemstones available, and it resists scratches and abrasion during ordinary activities. The heat treatment applied to this sapphire is stable under normal wear conditions, and it does not make the stone more vulnerable to damage when handled properly. Diamonds are the hardest natural material and provide additional protection and enduring sparkle in the setting. The entire ring is set in 14K white gold, a metal choice that offers an excellent balance between strength and wearability. Fourteen karat white gold maintains good durability for prongs and the band without the brittleness that can occur in higher purity alloys, and it is also conducive to secure stone settings and fine detail work. The prong design and gallery structure have been executed to hold the center sapphire firmly while allowing light to enter and reflect, and the diamond settings are crafted to minimize snagging and to maintain stone security. Regular inspections, periodic professional cleaning, and avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals will preserve the finish and structural integrity, and occasional re-tipping or tightening of prongs will ensure long term durability for everyday wear.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we focus on transparent information and responsible sourcing, and this ring exemplifies those commitments. The documented West African origin of the sapphire, together with the C.Dunaigre certificate, allows an informed buyer to understand provenance and treatment history. The combination of a vivid, eye clean, well proportioned 3.05 carat greenish blue sapphire, carefully matched VS clarity F or G color diamonds totaling approximately 0.706 carats across the accent groupings, and a robust 14K white gold mounting makes this ring both an elegant statement and a practical choice for someone who intends to wear a fine gem daily. If you value durability, certified origin, and classic gemological quality, this piece offers a compelling balance of beauty and resilience, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is available to provide additional documentation, detailed photographs, and maintenance guidance to ensure the ring remains a lasting and treasured item in your collection.
