Pave Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 4.13 Ct., 18K Rose Gold

This ring showcases a rare and beautifully transparent 4.13 carat oval padparadscha sapphire, with dimensions 11.04 x 8.67 x 5.75 mm and a mixed brilliant cut, presenting a harmonious balance between fire and pavilion dispersion. The sapphire carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which to a trained eye signals exceptional clarity for a stone of this size, and an excellent polish that maximizes surface brightness and table reflection. The color is described as medium light saturation, delivering the delicate, salmon pink to orange pink tone that padparadscha sapphires are prized for, and the stone is sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, an origin synonymous with some of the finest and most highly regarded sapphires in the market. Surrounding the center sapphire, natural white round diamonds totaling approximately 0.32 carats of side weight in the primary cluster, and an additional group approximating 0.105 carats, all graded VS for clarity and color grade F G, are bead set into a 14K rose gold mount, a pairing that enhances the warm, romantic hue of the padparadscha while providing a refined and durable setting.

Inclusions within this padparadscha sapphire add character and a sense of provenance that educated buyers value, they act as the stone fingerprint, confirming its natural origin and the geological story of its formation over geological time. The very very slightly included grade indicates that inclusions are minimal at eye level, yet present under magnification, as is typical of natural corundum, and these internal features can include fine silk like rutile needles, minute crystals, and gentle feathers, each contributing to the gem's individuality. Fine silk can soften and diffuse light within the gem, creating a velvety glow and enhancing the padparadscha tone in certain lighting, tiny crystals can refract light and introduce micro sparkles, and delicate feathers can act as subtle mirrors, all combining to produce optical effects and minute variations in color and brilliance across the table and crown. For discerning buyers, these natural markers are not imperfections to be dismissed, they are evidence of authenticity and rarity, they ensure that no two stones are alike, and they often become part of the emotional and aesthetic value that accompanies a hand selected gem.

From a connoisseur perspective, this ring is an investment in proportion and provenance, the 4.13 carat weight is significant for a padparadscha, and the mixed brilliant cut has been executed to balance brilliance with the stone's subtle color, the excellent polish contributes to a lively face up appearance, and the Ceylon origin adds a layer of desirability recognized by gemologists and collectors. The accompanying white diamonds, all VS clarity and F G color grade, provide crisp contrast and refined sparkle without overpowering the center sapphire, and the 14K rose gold setting complements the padparadscha hue while offering long term wearability and structural security. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparency in grading and origin, and this piece is presented with clear information so that an educated buyer can assess color saturation, clarity characteristics, cut proportions, and overall setting quality. The ring embodies both aesthetic refinement and gemological integrity, its natural inclusions speaking to authenticity, its sizeable padparadscha speaking to rarity, and its meticulous setting speaking to artisanal care, together creating an heirloom quality ring that will appeal to collectors and romantics alike.
