Antique Style Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 3.04 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the riverbeds of Madagascar to the warm glow of a hand finished ring, this padparadscha follows a careful, transparent journey that I am proud to share with you on behalf of The Natural Sapphire Company. Mined by small scale teams who work seasonally with low impact methods, this stone was selected for its rare orangy pink hue and carefully traced through our supply chain, with independent verification by C.Dunaigre. The gem is a 3.04 carat, oval shape padparadscha sapphire, sized 9.33 by 7.24 by 5.18 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and brilliance. It grades very slightly included at eye level, and it displays vivid color saturation and an excellent polish. We fully disclose that the sapphire has undergone heat treatment, a stable and common enhancement that improves color while preserving the natural character of the crystal. Throughout its journey from Madagascar, the sapphire was handled by partners who meet our ethical sourcing standards, which prioritize fair compensation, safe working conditions, and environmental stewardship, so that you know the beauty you wear supports responsible practices on the ground.

Set entirely in 14K yellow gold, this ring unites the lively padparadscha with a band sculpted by skilled jewelers, with delicate hand engraving that echoes the gem color and adds a timeless personality to the piece. Our craftsmen set the oval in a secure four prong head that allows light to pass freely through the pavilion, enhancing the stone with every movement. The Natural Sapphire Company oversees every stage, from gem selection, to cutting, to final setting, ensuring traceability and ethical accountability for both the sapphire and the gold used in the mounting. We work with suppliers who source materials in ways that reduce environmental footprint and return value to mining communities, and we stand behind each ring with clear documentation and ongoing care services. If you would like to learn more about the mine origin, to view the C.Dunaigre report, or to discuss custom options, I would be delighted to assist you and guide you to the perfect, enduring expression of this rare padparadscha.
