Antique Style Sapphire Ring 4.03 Ct., Platinum 950

This exquisite ring from The Natural Sapphire Company showcases a truly exceptional gemstone, a Pinkish Orange padparadscha sapphire. At an impressive 4.03 carats, this pear-shaped gemstone captures attention with its vibrant color and exquisite dimensions of 13.78 x 7.57 x 4.69 mm. Certified by C.Dunaigre and hailing from the rich gem-mining lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this sapphire is a rare treasure in the gemstone world. The mixed brilliant cut, renowned for its ability to enhance both color and brilliance, is expertly executed to bring forth the stone’s innate vibrancy and sparkle.

Clarity, an important factor in assessing gemstone quality, is graded as very slightly included at eye level, ensuring the sapphire’s natural beauty is unmarred by visible imperfections. Its vivid color saturation, enhanced by an excellent polish, reflects the exceptional standards upheld by The Natural Sapphire Company. The padparadscha, a Sanskrit word meaning "lotus blossom," is sought after for its unparalleled range of pink and orange hues. This specific example demonstrates not only this ideal balance but also a purity and intensity of color that is truly captivating.

The setting of this ring plays a crucial role in enhancing and complementing the gemstone’s natural attributes. Crafted entirely in platinum 950, known for its strength and stunning silvery sheen, the setting provides a striking contrast that accentuates the sapphire's vivid tones. Platinum's natural luster amplifies the gemstone's brilliance, adding to the overall allure. The surrounding halo of white, round-shaped diamonds, with a combined weight of approximately 1.92 carats, further elevates the visual impact of the central stone.

These high-quality diamonds boast a clarity grade of VS1 to VS2, meaning they possess no inclusions visible to the naked eye, exemplifying prestige and quality. Their color grade of E signifies that they are exceptionally white and devoid of color, which serves to emphasize the rich colors of the padparadscha sapphire. The precise arrangement of these diamonds draws the eye inward, focusing attention on the unique hue of the gemstone while elevating its brilliance, a testament to the thoughtful design synonymous with The Natural Sapphire Company.

In every aspect, from the rare origin of the sapphire to its expert craftsmanship, this ring embodies a level of excellence that speaks to educated buyers. It is a piece that not only serves as a beautiful adornment but also as an investment in highly coveted gemstones. The intricate design and quality materials illustrate The Natural Sapphire Company's commitment to providing extraordinary jewelry that celebrates nature’s most stunning creations.
