Pave Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 1.16 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a 1.16 carat pear shaped padparadscha sapphire, measuring 7.72 x 5.07 x 3.86 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance face up brilliance with internal fire. The sapphire is transparent with light color saturation, an excellent polish, and a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, attributes that contribute to a luminous, delicate salmon pink hue characteristic of Ceylon origin. Complementing the center stone are white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.27 carats, selected for their VS clarity and F to G color range, and set along the shoulders to provide a measured contrast without overpowering the padparadscha. The overall profile is refined, with the pavé set diamonds enhancing the visual length of the pear shape and maintaining a low profile for everyday wear.

The entire setting and band are crafted in 14K yellow gold, a material choice made for its structural durability and suitability for long term wear. Compared with higher karat golds, 14K alloys contain a greater proportion of alloying metals, which increases hardness and resistance to everyday deformation and scratching, while retaining the warm tone that complements the padparadscha hue. The shoulders are engineered to support the pavé diamonds securely, and the prong mount for the pear shaped sapphire is designed for stable retention and ease of maintenance. With routine care consisting of periodic professional inspection and gentle cleaning, the 14K yellow gold band will retain its shape and finish through prolonged use, making it an appropriate choice for a frequently worn ring. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the craftsmanship of this design, providing detailed gemological information and construction specifications to assist in long term care and responsible ownership.
