Accent Stones Sapphire Ring 1.09 Ct., 14K Rose Gold

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, nature carefully cradles one of its most exquisite treasures—the padparadscha sapphire. Renowned for its unique blend of pink and orange hues, this remarkable gemstone begins its journey thousands of feet beneath the earth’s surface. Here, under conditions of intense heat and pressure, the sapphire forms over millennia, awaiting its reveal. The region's rich geology provides the perfect crucible for these gemstones, allowing them to develop their distinctive colors and clarity that remain unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Our featured gemstone, a 1.09 carat pear-shaped padparadscha sapphire, is a testament to this natural wonder. With dimensions of 7.52 x 5.93 x 3.54 mm and exhibiting a mixed brilliant cut, it captures light in an enchanting dance of colors unique to padparadscha. The clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, hints at the dreamlike process of its creation beneath the earth, with each inclusion telling a chapter of its storied existence. Medium color saturation highlights its delicate yet vibrant pink-orange hue, reminiscent of a setting sun cast across a tropical seascape.

The sapphire’s journey continues with The Natural Sapphire Company, where its raw beauty is meticulously preserved and enhanced in a minimal yet stunning design. The sapphire is set into a ring of 14K rose gold, a modern yet timeless setting that enriches its inherent allure. To create a harmonious ensemble, white pear-shaped diamonds totaling approximately 0.10 carats and round-shaped diamonds weighing around 0.18 carats are set alongside the centerpiece. With a clarity of VS1 to VS2 and color grades of E and F respectively, these diamonds add a brilliant complement that accentuates the sapphire's splendor without overshadowing it.
