Pave Peach Sapphire Ring 3.09 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a 3.09 carat radiant shape peach sapphire that measures 8.49 x 7.04 x 5.43 mm, a specification that reflects a deliberate choice of proportions to maximize both color saturation and light return. The radiant cut combines a modified brilliant crown with a trimmed step pavilion, producing a faceting architecture that balances scintillation and broad flashes of color. The crown exhibits a pattern of kite and triangular facets that disperse light across the table while the pavilion facets act to return this light in complementary flashes, enhancing the peach hue without sacrificing transparency. Clarity is graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, indicating that internal characteristics do not interfere with visual performance in typical viewing conditions. Color is described as medium intense saturation, a grade that places the stone within the optimal range for peach sapphires where hue and tone read consistently across the table under standard illumination. The sapphire was heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines tone and intensifies saturation while preserving the natural crystal structure, and the stone carries an excellent polish that ensures facet junctions are tight and surfaces are free from drag lines or polish haze.

The setting is executed in 14K white gold, chosen for its balance of strength and reflectivity, and finished to a high polish to complement the sapphire and accent diamonds. The center stone is secured with a four prong head that rises on a refined gallery, the prongs shaped to present the radiant cut table parallel to the finger and to open the pavilion to light from below. The band is adorned with white round natural diamonds arranged in a pavé configuration, the primary group weighing approximately 0.45 carat and a secondary grouping weighing approximately 0.143 carat, all graded VS for clarity and F G for color. These diamonds are selected for their small diameter tolerance and consistent white color so that the pavé line reads as a continuous, bright ribbon. Setting technique relies on careful hand setting and precise seat milling, ensuring that each diamond is secured with minimal metal intrusion and maximum exposure to light, which increases brilliance and maintains the visual balance between the center sapphire and the shoulder diamonds.

The provenance of the sapphire as Ceylon, Sri Lanka, contributes materially to its narrative and market value. Ceylon sapphires have a documented history dating back centuries, noted for their clean crystallography and predisposition to pastel and well saturated tones, attributes that are particularly desirable in lighter peach varieties. Sourcing from Ceylon suggests a geological environment that favors uniform color zoning and minimal inclusions, factors that made this particular crystal suitable for a radiant cut at a weight of 3.09 carat while remaining eye clean. Heat treatment is the most common and accepted enhancement for Ceylon sapphires, applied with controlled protocols to stabilize hue and remove undesirable secondary tones without obscuring the natural origin signatures that connoisseurs and gemologists value. Together, origin, cut, clarity, and treatment form a technical provenance profile that The Natural Sapphire Company uses to document the stone for collectors and buyers seeking traceable quality and refined color.

When integrated into the ring, the sapphire and accompanying diamonds produce a piece that is technically balanced and emotionally resonant. The radiant cut centers the color and presents a modern geometric silhouette, while the surrounding pavé diamonds and polished 14K white gold band provide optical contrast, increasing the perceived size of the sapphire and focusing attention on its peach hue. From a craftsmanship perspective, the precision of prong geometry, the uniformity of pavé bead work, and the finish of internal galleries all contribute to long term durability and to light management, important considerations for daily wear. For the discerning buyer, this configuration offers a combination of rarity in color and clarity, verified origin, and established finishing standards, qualities that support both aesthetic enjoyment and secondary market desirability. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the piece with detailed documentation and the option for bespoke adjustments to setting height or band profile for personalized fit, and our gemological team is available to discuss certification, care, and the exact technical attributes that make this peach sapphire ring a considered acquisition.
