Three Stone Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 1.59 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a GRS certified padparadscha sapphire, described by our gemological report as Orangy-Pink Sunrise, weighing 1.59 carats, and cut into an elegant oval measuring 7.80 by 5.82 by 3.96 millimeters. The mixed brilliant cut is selected to balance scintillation and color depth, and the stone exhibits intense color saturation with an excellent polish. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, which preserves both the vibrancy of the hue and the stone integrity, while allowing the mixed cut facets to return light with lively fire. The sapphire is sourced from Madagascar, a locality known for producing padparadscha examples that combine pink and orange tones in a rare and desirable hue, and the GRS certificate confirms the identity, weight, measurements, and the quality attributes described here.

Flanking the center sapphire are white half moon shaped lab grown diamonds with a combined presence weighing approximately 0.50 carats, graded as Very Slightly Included with VS1 and VS2 clarity and an F color grade. The half moon shapes are proportioned to complement the oval center, creating a balanced three stone silhouette that emphasizes the central padparadscha while contributing bright white contrast along the ring axis. The use of half moon side stones recalls historical three stone compositions that appeared in Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, where side stones were routinely selected to cradle and enhance a principal gem. The open gallery and prong arrangement here further reference classic basket and cathedral frameworks seen in late nineteenth and early twentieth century examples, where elevated settings and visible undergalleries were employed both for aesthetics and for maximizing light entry into the central gem.

The mounting is executed in 18 karat yellow gold, chosen to accentuate the warm orangy pink tones of the padparadscha and to create a tasteful contrast with the white lab grown diamonds. The setting uses secure prongs for the oval sapphire and refined shoulders that integrate triangular openwork beneath the gallery, a detail that recalls trellis and pierced gallery work found in historical museum pieces while remaining fully contemporary in finish and wearability. The overall proportions and symmetry are calibrated to provide visual stability, comfortable daily wear, and ease of servicing. From a craftsmanship perspective the excellent polish and precise seatings reflect careful hand finishing, and the structural choices ensure that the center stone is both prominently displayed and well supported. The Natural Sapphire Company provides the accompanying GRS documentation for the sapphire, and our sourcing and quality control protocols extend to the lab grown diamonds, ensuring traceability and consistent grading. This ring presents a considered synthesis of historical setting influences and modern gemological standards, offering a design that is classically informed, technically sound, and focused on presenting the padparadscha sapphire with clarity, color, and enduring style.
