Three Stone Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 28.85 Ct., 14K White Gold

There is a moment when light meets color and the world seems to hold its breath, and in that moment the 28.85 carat oval padparadscha sapphire at the heart of this ring arrives like a sunrise captured in stone. GIA certified, transparent, and singing with a warm orangy pink that is both gentle and insistent, this gem measures 20.56 by 15.44 by 9.74 millimeters, a generous oval canvas that invites the eye to wander through flame and reflection. Born in Madagascar and enhanced by skilled heat treatment to reveal its medium intense color saturation, this sapphire is eye clean at normal viewing distance and bears an excellent polish that allows every facet to sing. The sheer scale of the stone, paired with its refined clarity and polish, creates a feeling of luminous depth, as if a private sky has been folded into the band, ready to be glimpsed in every angle of wear.

The secret of the sapphire’s otherworldly glow lies in its modified brilliant cut, a choreography of facets designed to seize the light and return it multiplied and rapturous. Each facet has been considered and placed to coax brilliance from within, the crown facets catching the first touch of light, the pavilion facets serving as a vast mirrored amphitheater that throws that light back through the crown with renewed intensity. The oval outline elongates the play of light, creating flashes that travel like whispered notes across the surface, while the modified proportions ensure that the table is spacious enough to reveal the internal glow but balanced so that fire and scintillation are not lost to a single static plane. The excellent polish turns each facet junction into a mirror edge, and when brightness meets the gem it refracts into ribbons of peach, coral, and rose, a subtle spectrum that changes with every tilt and turn. As a modified brilliant, the sapphire combines the scintillation of a round brilliant with the elegant silhouette of an oval, optimizing spread and return so the gem appears larger, more luminous, and alive from sunrise coffee to candlelit evenings.

Flanking this central heart are white half moon shaped natural diamonds of approximately 2.00 carats in total, their soft crescent forms cradling the oval like patient moons reflecting the sun, each diamond graded Very Slightly Included in ranges VS1 to VS2 with a color grade of F. On the shoulders and along the shank sit white round shaped natural diamonds, two matched groups of approximately 0.48 carats each, each stone clarity graded VS and color graded F slash G, their bright white fire offering a cool contrast to the warm embrace of the padparadscha. The half moon diamonds act as mirrors that amplify the oval’s light, their gentle curves guiding radiance outward and enhancing the sense of scale and presence. The round diamonds in the band form a procession of pinpoint brilliance, a finely judged counterpoint that adds crisp scintillation to every movement. Together, these stones are not merely ornaments, they are collaborators, each facet and curve tuned to the sapphire’s rhythm, building an ensemble of light and color that speaks of refinement and devotion.

Set entirely in 18K white gold, the mounting is both a stage and a veil, designed to display the gem with the reverence it deserves while providing a modern, luminous backdrop that heightens the padparadscha’s warmth. The prong setting secures the oval with careful restraint, lifting the gem so that light may pass freely beneath and return with a voice magnified by the modified brilliant cut. A delicate gallery and pavé shoulders support the composition, the white gold coolness allowing the orangy pink to glow without competition.
