Bezel Greenish Brown Sapphire Ring 2.65 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring presents a transparent 2.65 carat pear shape greenish brown sapphire, measuring 10.65 x 8.25 x 4.25 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth of color. The stone has a clarity grade of slightly included as evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that are modest in size and do not significantly interrupt the face up appearance. The sapphire shows intense color saturation and an excellent polish, attributes that contribute to a lively yet composed presence in a variety of lighting conditions. The material has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves tone and uniformity, and the sapphire is documented as originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The gem is fully set in 14K yellow gold, a warm metal choice that complements the greenish brown hue while providing a traditional jewelry standard of durability and wearability. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this piece as an illustration of careful gem selection and clean, restrained setting design.

The mixed brilliant cut used for this pear shaped sapphire combines a faceting scheme intended to maximize return of light from the pavilion with a well proportioned crown to reveal color saturation. In practice, this means the stone exhibits sparkling facets around the table alongside a depth of color that reads consistently from various viewing angles. The pear outline gives a refined silhouette that elongates the finger when worn, while the mixed cut controls the balance between brilliance and color. The intense saturation of the greenish brown tone is true to the gem material and is accentuated by the excellent polish, which allows light to interact across clean facet junctions. The Ceylon provenance is notable for producing sapphires with nuanced color ranges and good crystallographic clarity, and the heat treatment applied here serves to stabilize and intensify the natural hue without introducing unstable substances or coatings.

When assessing durability for daily wear, sapphire is among the most robust choices, ranking nine on the Mohs hardness scale and trailing only diamond in scratch resistance. This intrinsic hardness makes sapphire highly resistant to surface abrasion from everyday contact with metals and common materials, and it will not easily acquire scratches that compromise appearance. Corundum which is the mineral family for sapphire, displays very good toughness for a hard gemstone, and in practical terms the slight inclusions present in this stone are not conditions that make the gem susceptible to breakage under normal wear. The bezel style mounting and substantial 14K yellow gold surround used in this ring further enhance the stone protection by shielding the girdle and lower facets from direct impact. Compared with softer gems such as topaz or emerald, or with surface treated materials that can be compromised by acids and heat, this sapphire and setting combination is well suited to regular, everyday wear given normal care and common sense precautions.

For care and long term maintenance, routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep the pavilion and bezel free of daily residue without risking the stability of the heat treatment. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids, harsh household chemicals, and extreme thermal shock, and inspect the setting periodically to ensure the bezel remains secure. Resizing of a 14K gold band is straightforward for a skilled jeweler, and the bezel installation used here allows for modest adjustments while preserving the integrity of the mount. The overall construction focuses on a balanced profile that sits comfortably on the hand, with a secure, protective collar that complements the gem rather than obscuring it.
