Antique Style Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 1.62 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.62 carat oval padparadscha sapphire, presented in an elegant mixed brilliant cut that optimizes both sparkle and color face up. The stone measures 8.22 by 6.39 by 3.65 mm, and exhibits a refined medium light color saturation that evokes the soft salmon and pinkish orange tones prized in padparadscha sapphires. At eye level the clarity has been assessed as very very slightly included, indicating that the gem reads as exceptionally clean to the naked eye while retaining natural internal character under magnification. The sapphire has received a heat treatment enhancement, a common and stable process used to clarify and slightly improve color, and it carries a documented origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long esteemed for producing sapphires with lively hue and enduring appeal. The excellent polish and the precision of the mixed brilliant facets allow the pavilion and crown to interact with light in a balanced manner, producing a lively scintillation that complements the stone color without overpowering its subtle warmth.

Surrounding the center sapphire is a finely arranged halo of white round shaped natural diamonds, with a combined weight of approximately 0.48 carats, each stone graded between VS1 and VS2 for clarity, and a color grade of F, ensuring a bright, near colorless contrast to the padparadscha center. The diamonds are set in a classic halo arrangement that both protects the centre stone and increases perceived size and presence on the finger, while the precision of the settings preserves individual diamond brilliance and alignment. The entire assembly is crafted in platinum 950, a metal chosen for its strength, natural white sheen, and longevity, which supports secure prong and gallery work and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance of the mounting. The ring profile is designed to balance elegance and wearability, with careful attention to prong placement and under gallery finish to provide comfort and to enhance the visual lift of the sapphire. The Natural Sapphire Company applies rigorous gemological assessment and careful bench finishing to ensure that the proportions, polish, and symmetry of the mounting complement the optical qualities of both the center sapphire and the accent diamonds.

Beyond its technical attributes this ring serves as a tangible emblem of a meaningful moment, capable of representing a cherished memory or a special occasion with quiet dignity. The warm, sunset like hue of the padparadscha sapphire carries emotional resonance, recalling first light, enduring warmth, or a significant date, while the durable platinum setting and high quality diamond halo speak to permanence and ongoing care. For an engagement, anniversary, milestone, or commemorative gift, the piece is intended to be both immediately beautiful and generationally enduring, able to be worn daily or reserved for occasions when formality is desired. The documented Ceylon origin and the disclosed heat treatment provide provenance that supports long term value and informed ownership, and The Natural Sapphire Company can provide additional certification and guidance on routine care, such as professional cleaning and periodic inspection of prongs and settings to maintain security and brilliance. This ring is presented with the expectation that it will be cherished, that it will mark a memorable occasion, and that it will be an heirloom quality piece that reflects both a specific moment in time and the continued attention of thoughtful stewardship.
