Antique Style Pink Sapphire Ring 2.55 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent cushion shape pink sapphire weighing 2.55 carats, precisely measured at 7.95 x 7.26 x 4.81 mm and cut in a mixed brilliant style to optimize light return and face up proportion. The sapphire displays a light color saturation that reads as an elegant, soft pink, and is described as slightly included when evaluated at eye level. These natural inclusions are consistent with unheated and minimally treated stones from classic Ceylon sources, and they contribute to the gem character while maintaining structural integrity. The stone exhibits an excellent polish, which enhances its surface luster and allows the mixed brilliant faceting to perform with clarity and scintillation. The overall presentation emphasizes the balance between a refined color presence and the gemstone characteristics that collectors and connoisseurs associate with responsibly sourced Ceylon sapphires.

Surrounding the central sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.504 carats, selected for their balance of brilliance and color. The diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included, with clarities of VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, ensuring a high degree of transparency and white tone that complements the pink center without overpowering it. These stones are bead set into a scalloped halo that accentuates the cushion outline of the sapphire, and they are matched for size and optical performance to maintain uniformity around the pavilion. The mounting is executed entirely in 18 karat yellow gold, chosen for its warm tone that harmonizes with the pink sapphire and provides a classic finish. The ring construction features precise bezel and gallery work that securely seats the center stone while allowing light to enter from multiple angles, and the shank is finished with a polished profile that balances comfort with structural support.

Ethical sourcing of the sapphire is a central consideration in the selection process for this piece. The central pink sapphire is sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, from suppliers who provide documented provenance and adhere to industry due diligence practices. Our procurement partners conduct on the ground assessments of mining operations, ensuring legal extraction, compliance with local regulations, and practices that limit environmental disturbance where possible. When available we prioritize material that can be traced through a chain of custody from mine to market, and we engage with partners who work toward improved labour standards and community engagement programs. The natural inclusions observed in the stone are consistent with minimal enhancement, a characteristic we disclose transparently in order to provide an accurate representation of the gemstone qualities. Certification and detailed gemological reports are provided with each sapphire to confirm origin where testing allows, and to document the cutting, weight, and condition of the stone.

The diamonds and the gold used in the mounting are procured under clear sourcing policies that emphasize conflict free supply chains and responsible practices. The round diamonds are natural and supplied through vendors who comply with recognized industry frameworks, including chain of custody verification and adherence to the Kimberley Process for rough diamond sourcing where applicable. For the metal work we source 18 karat yellow gold from suppliers who follow responsible sourcing protocols, and we offer options for recycled or certified chain of custody gold when requested. The Natural Sapphire Company maintains relationships with reputable gemological laboratories and supply partners to ensure independent verification of grading and origin statements. Our internal quality and ethical review includes documentation of supplier practices, traceability records, and certification availability, and we make these materials available to clients upon request. This ring is presented with clear information regarding the gemstone characteristics and the sourcing background, enabling an informed decision by the purchaser and reflecting our commitment to transparency and responsible jewellery practice.
