Three Stone Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 2.16 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a spectacular 2.16 carat oval padparadscha sapphire, a gemstone of rare beauty and storied provenance, with dimensions of 8.93 x 6.62 x 4.12 millimeters and a mixed brilliant cut that invites light to dance from every facet. Graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this transparent sapphire exhibits medium color saturation and an excellent polish, and it has not undergone any enhancements, preserving the natural integrity that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this stone carries with it the legacy of one of the world’s oldest and most celebrated gemstone regions, a heritage that dates back centuries and that has produced some of the finest sapphires in history. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that lineage by presenting this padparadscha in a design that showcases its warm, lotus like hue, allowing the color to remain the focal point while surrounding elements enhance its presence without overpowering it.

Flanking the center sapphire are white pear shaped natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.20 carats in total, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F, chosen to provide a crisp, luminous counterpoint to the soft, salmon tones of the padparadscha. These side stones are thoughtfully proportioned to the main gem, their pear shapes offering a subtle taper that visually elongates the finger while reinforcing the central oval, and their excellent cutting ensures scintillation that complements the mixed brilliant center. The entire composition is set in classic 14K yellow gold, a metal whose warm glow harmonizes with the sapphire’s hue and whose enduring character suits the timeless spirit of the design. The setting is crafted to lift the gemstone just enough to catch light from multiple angles, while remaining securely held for everyday wear, a balance of visibility and protection that speaks to both elegance and practical function.

This ring embodies a design philosophy rooted in tradition, one that values continuity, subtlety, and the kind of restraint that allows a remarkable stone to speak for itself. Padparadscha sapphires have long been celebrated in jewelry lore for their rare and captivating color, a tone that has adorned royal treasuries and private collections, and this piece channels that history into a wearable heirloom for the present. The thoughtful proportions, secure prong work, and the reassuring weight of 14K yellow gold ensure comfort and durability, making the ring suitable for daily wear or for marking a milestone with confidence. Because the padparadscha is unenhanced and of genuine Ceylon origin, this ring offers not only visual splendor but also the kind of provenance and authenticity that collectors seek, a story that can be passed down through generations.

As curators and specialists in natural colored sapphires, The Natural Sapphire Company offers this ring as a celebration of both geological time and human craftsmanship, an object that honors ancient origins while meeting modern demands for reliability and refinement. For those who value legacy, the combination of a transparent unheated padparadscha, well matched white diamonds, and a warm yellow gold mount creates a piece that looks at home in a museum case as much as on a daily hand. We invite you to experience the balance of elegance and function that defines this ring, to see how light and color interact in person, and to speak with our specialists about custom sizing, certification, and care. With proper attention, this ring will remain a treasured emblem of tradition and taste, a lasting testimony to the enduring allure of natural sapphire.
