Three Stone Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 0.69 Ct., 14K Rose Gold

Beneath the warm sun of Ceylon, in pockets of earth that have held secrets for millennia, the story of this padparadscha sapphire begins. Formed under layers of heat and pressure, this gem carried within it a unique mingling of pink and orange tones that has long captured the imagination of gem hunters and romantics alike. When our team first examined this stone we were struck by its clarity and gentle glow. The sapphire weighs 0.69 carat, and measures 6.81 by 4.74 by 2.60 millimeters, presented in an oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut that lets light dance through both its pavilion and crown. Evaluated at eye level the stone is very slightly included, a small signature of its natural origin, and it shows medium color saturation with an excellent polish. Like many fine sapphires from Sri Lanka the gem has been heat treated to enhance stability and beauty, a careful and traditional practice that deepens its expression without masking its Ceylon heart.

From the mine the sapphire traveled to our workshops where master cutters and setters translated its natural story into a wearable promise. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to maximize the stone’s brightness and to reveal that rare padparadscha balance of sunset tones with lively scintillation. Surrounding the center are two white marquise shaped natural diamonds, together weighing approximately 0.24 carats, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included in the VS1 to VS2 range, and a color grade of E which lends a pure icy contrast to the warm center. Those marquise diamonds are shaped and set to act as gentle wings, catching light from every angle and framing the padparadscha without overwhelming it. The entire setting is crafted in 14 karat rose gold, a metal whose warm blush harmonizes with the sapphire’s pink orange tones and whose enduring strength keeps the gems secure for years of daily wear.

As you hold this ring the journey of stone and metal becomes a metaphor for lifelong commitment. The padparadscha itself is rare and treasured, a symbol of a love that is both delicate and resilient, a love that unites the softness of pink with the passion of orange. The marquise diamonds serve as witnesses to that promise, brilliant and steady, refracting light the way long years refract shared memories. The 14 karat rose gold band contributes both warmth and durability, a reminder that devotion is both gentle and built to last. Together these elements form a design that speaks of partnership and balance, where two forces support and enhance one another. Worn on the hand, the ring becomes a daily affirmation, an intimate heirloom that will carry stories forward from the first day of giving through the decades that follow.
