Three Stone Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 2.00 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring highlights a transparent 2.00 carat oval padparadscha sapphire, precisely measured at 8.72 by 5.85 by 4.38 millimeters, set with two white asscher octagon shaped natural diamonds in a refined three stone composition. The sapphire carries a mixed brilliant cut, a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, medium intense color saturation, excellent polish, heat treatment, and Madagascar origin. The side diamonds weigh approximately 0.46 carats in total, are graded Very Slightly Included in clarity across VS1 and VS2, and are graded F in color. The mounting is crafted entirely in 14 karat white gold, with a process focused on clean lines and maximal light admission to the pavilion of the center stone. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this piece with emphasis on proportional geometry and cut quality to deliver predictable optical performance and durable setting security.

The padparadscha sapphire has been fashioned as an oval with a length to width ratio of approximately 1.49, a proportion that enhances the stone silhouette while maintaining optimal internal reflection. The mixed brilliant cut employed here integrates a modified brilliant style on the crown with a precision orientated pavilion that includes elements of both brilliant and controlled facet planes. This hybrid facet scheme allows for increased dispersion and a lively scintillation pattern, while preserving broad flashes of color across the table. The measured depth of 4.38 millimeters produces an effective depth that is approximately sixty percent of the average diameter, a dimension that balances return of light with retention of color saturation. Crown angles have been selected to produce a bright table while supporting crown facets that serve as efficient light collectors, funneling incident light into the pavilion where carefully aligned main facets reflect it back to the viewer. The excellent polish minimizes surface scattering, so that the sapphire exhibits clear pinpoint scintillation and defined flash patterns even in lower light conditions.

The pair of white asscher octagon shaped diamonds flanking the center sapphire are step cut in geometry, providing a controlled and elegant contrast to the brilliant derived scintillation of the mixed center cut. Asscher style facets emphasize broad flashes and concentric echoes rather than the dispersed grainy scintillation of multiple small brilliant facets, so these diamonds act as optical calm points that frame the padparadscha and anchor its visual impact. Their VS clarity grading ensures that internal blemishes do not interrupt the step faceting planes, and the F color grade in combination with the white gold setting minimizes any unwanted body color, preserving the apparent whiteness and contrast against the warm padparadscha tones. The total diamond weight shown is approximately 0.46 carats, with balanced proportions chosen to keep visual symmetry across the profile, and pavilion depths set to coordinate with the sapphire so that light return from the side stones supports the overall perceived brightness of the ring.

The 14 karat white gold mounting is engineered to support and enhance the optical performance of the stones. The prong geometry and seat depth secure the sapphire with minimal metal intrusion into the crown facets, allowing unobstructed light entry across wide angles. Structural gallery openings and a slightly raised crown position increase the amount of side light that penetrates the pavilion, which in turn boosts return and scintillation in everyday viewing. Metal finish is polished to an excellent luster, providing reflective rebound that subtly augments the gem light. All heat treatment applied to the sapphire conforms to industry standards for stability and clarity enhancement, and the origin from Madagascar is associated with padparadscha material that typically shows warm salmon to pink orange hue balance and good transparency. At The Natural Sapphire Company we perform meticulous cut and setting inspections, confirming symmetry, facet junction integrity, and polish quality, to ensure the combination of a mixed brilliant center cut and asscher side stones delivers optimal optical performance and lasting wearability.
