Three Stone Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.56 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company features a transparent 1.56 carat trillion shape greenish blue sapphire, measuring 7.16 by 7.69 by 3.72 millimeters, set with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. The sapphire is eye clean at standard viewing distance, exhibits dark color saturation, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka. Complementing the center stone are natural white round diamonds, with small accents weighing approximately 0.05 carats, graded Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, color grade F, and additional side diamonds weighing approximately 0.09 carats, clarity VS, color grade F or G. The mounting is crafted entirely in platinum 950, with a refined setting designed to secure the trillion center while maintaining visual balance.

The sapphire is corundum with a Mohs hardness of 9, making it highly resistant to surface scratching and well suited to daily wear, this level of hardness is second only to diamond, which is a 10 on the Mohs scale, and the accent diamonds provide additional resistance to abrasion. Beyond hardness, toughness and the presence or absence of cleavage affect real world durability, sapphires have good toughness and lack true cleavage, which reduces the risk of splitting under normal conditions, diamonds while harder, have cleavage planes that can permit chipping if struck in certain directions, therefore careful setting and protection of the girdle and culet are important. The platinum 950 mounting contributes to overall durability, platinum is dense and resistant to wear, it holds prongs firmly and will develop a stable patina rather than wearing away quickly, this enhances the security of the trillion sapphire for everyday use. For routine care, inspect prongs periodically to ensure settings remain tight, avoid hard impacts and exposure to harsh chemicals, professional cleaning and inspection at regular intervals will preserve the stone appearance and the integrity of the setting.
