Three Stone Padparadscha Sapphire Ring 1.38 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company centers on a transparent 1.38 carat pear shape padparadscha sapphire, precisely measured at 8.45 by 5.63 by 4.02 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance table and pavilion facets for optimized light return and scintillation. The sapphire displays medium color saturation that reflects the padparadscha hue, and it is graded as slightly included when observed at eye level, a characteristic that is consistent with natural, untreated material. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and an excellent polish accentuates the facet junctions and overall symmetry. The mixed brilliant cut and carefully considered proportions were chosen to preserve the gem’s natural color and transparency, while the pear shape was faceted to emphasize the stone’s depth of color from crown to pavilion. Provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is significant, as the region is noted for producing padparadscha sapphires with the balanced pink to orange tones that define the variety.

Complementing the center sapphire are two white round shaped lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.20 carats total, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F. These accent stones are selected for their optical compatibility with the padparadscha sapphire, providing crisp white contrast that frames the center gem without overpowering its subtle coloration. The setting is executed in 14K white gold, the metal chosen for its stable tone and enduring finish, and the ring is finished with precise prong work that secures each stone while permitting light to enter from multiple angles. The overall construction reflects experienced lapidary and bench work, with attention to bezel heights, prong symmetry, and band proportions to ensure comfort and longevity. Presented simply and engineered thoughtfully, this ring emphasizes the natural beauty of each gemstone through expert craftsmanship, durable materials, and a restrained design approach that allows the padparadscha sapphire to remain the visual and geological focal point.
