Antique Style Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 1.34 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.34 carat oval padparadscha sapphire, precisely measured at 6.74 x 5.83 x 4.35 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant configuration. The mixed brilliant design combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a modified pavilion geometry, engineered to maximize return of light within the oval outline while preserving a flattened girdle profile for secure setting. Color evaluation indicates a medium intense saturation, the characteristic padparadscha balance of pink and orange tones is evenly distributed across the table, and the stone exhibits an excellent polish that enhances facet contrast. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that do not compromise structural integrity or optical performance. No enhancement has been applied to this sapphire, and its origin is documented as Ceylon Sri Lanka, which contributes to the stone s classic padparadscha hue and natural gemological signature.

Surrounding the center sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.306 carats total, their proportions selected to harmonize with the oval center. The diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included in clarity, split between VS1 and VS2, with a color grade of F, providing near colorless contrast against the warm yellow gold. Each diamond is cut as a modern round brilliant, and stones are matched for diameter and brightness to create a uniform scintillation pattern around the center. The mounting is executed in 14 karat yellow gold, with the center stone secured by precision prongs and the halo diamonds set in micro prongs to minimize metal visibility and maximize light exposure. The shank and gallery are hand finished with a fully polished surface, careful symmetry, and a refined undergallery that balances low profile wearability with adequate clearance for cleaning and light circulation.
