Accent Stones Orange Sapphire Ring 5.55 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent 5.55 carat pear shape orange sapphire, with exact dimensions of 13.66 x 8.48 x 6.46 mm and a mixed brilliant cut, a combination that emphasizes both scintillation and broad color display. The sapphire carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which communicates that inclusions are minimal and do not materially detract from the gem when observed without magnification. The color saturation is noted as intense, and the polish is excellent, together producing vivid fire and lively light return that is readily apparent in hand. This stone has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement in the sapphire trade that improves color uniformity and removes undesirable hues, and its documented origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with clean saturation and lively tone. For a collector or an educated buyer, these combined characteristics represent a significant meeting of size, color and cut performance, attributes that are not often found together in a single exemplar.

Understanding why this sapphire is valuable requires a brief examination of gemstone fundamentals, applied to the specifics of this piece. Corundum, the mineral species that includes sapphire, ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, offering exceptional durability for everyday wear while retaining the capacity to be cut and polished to brilliant effect. The pear shape at this scale is a particularly elegant choice, as it visually enlarges the appearance of the gem and creates an elongated silhouette on the finger. The mixed brilliant cut provides a careful balance between pavilion facets that maximize brilliance and crown facets that emphasize the color zone, which is crucial for a strongly saturated orange sapphire. The 5.55 carat weight itself moves the stone into a rarified size class for orange sapphires, a color that is less common than traditional blue or pink hues, and that scarcity is a meaningful factor when assessing long term value and desirability.

The ring is set entirely in 18 karat yellow gold, a metal choice that complements the warm, amber to pumpkin tone of an intense orange sapphire and that imparts a classic, enduring aesthetic. The yellow gold setting provides a warm backdrop that enhances color contrast, allowing the sapphire to read larger and more vivid to the eye. Flanking the center stone are white marquise shaped accents, each described with a clarity grade of VS, which signals clean looking stones to the unaided eye and strong brilliance under magnification. The provided details list an approximate weight of 0.00 carats for these marquise accents and do not specify a color grade, therefore customers who prioritize exact side stone specifications can request a detailed report. In the design, the marquise accents have been positioned to create a floral or winged motif that frames the pear shape in a way that increases finger elongation and architectural interest, while the prong work and gallery elevation are engineered to present the center stone prominently and securely.
