Pave Pink Sapphire Ring 2.69 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent 2.69 carat cushion shape pink sapphire, an elegant gemstone that combines classic form with modern brilliance. The stone measures 9.45 by 7.74 by 4.12 millimeters, a size that presents a commanding but refined presence on the finger. The mixed brilliant cut has been selected to balance scintillation and color display, with brilliant style facets on the crown to maximize fire and lively light return, and complementary pavilion facets that reinforce depth and visual stability. The sapphire has a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that any natural inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the gem when it is worn and viewed in normal conditions. Color saturation is very light, resulting in a delicate, pastel pink tone that is highly prized for its subtlety and versatility, and the stone has received an excellent polish which enhances its surface smoothness and overall brightness. This gem has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement in the trade that refines color and clarity while remaining permanent with normal wear, and its documented origin is Ceylon in Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing some of the most sought after light and pastel sapphires, contributing provenance and collectible interest for an educated buyer.

Complementing the center sapphire are high quality white round natural diamonds that accent the shoulders and profile of the mounting, chosen to enhance luminous contrast without overpowering the soft pink of the sapphire. The pavé and accent diamonds total approximately four hundred seventy five points in aggregate weight, distributed as stones weighing approximately two hundred seventy points, one hundred sixty five points, and forty points respectively. Each of these accent diamonds carries a clarity grade of VS, indicating very small inclusions that are difficult to detect even under magnification, and a color grade of F or G, placing them in the near colorless to colorless range where they deliver bright white sparkle and excellent complement to yellow gold settings. The careful selection of VS clarity and F G color ensures that the diamond accents present strong brilliance and clean appearance in hand, while their round shapes and precise cutting promote uniform light performance along the shoulders. The mounting has been executed to sit the sapphire prominently with a secure four prong basket and an open gallery that allows light to enter and accentuate the mixed brilliant cut, while the pavé set diamonds on the shoulders create a continuous shimmer that frames the centerpiece and elevates the overall silhouette.

The entire ring is crafted in durable 14 karat yellow gold, an alloy that balances warm color with superior wearability for everyday use. Fourteen karat gold contains approximately fifty eight percent pure gold combined with stronger alloying metals, a composition that increases hardness and resistance to bending and surface wear when compared with higher karat golds, making it a pragmatic choice for a ring intended for long term, regular wear. The prongs and gallery are engineered to hold the cushion sapphire securely while allowing sufficient exposure for light performance and cleaning access, and the pavé settings for the accent diamonds are executed with proper bead work to minimize stone movement and protect the diamonds from impact. For longevity we recommend routine but simple maintenance, including periodic checks of prong security at The Natural Sapphire Company, professional cleanings to preserve brilliance, and common sense precautions such as removing the ring for heavy manual tasks or when handling abrasive chemicals. Taken together, the transparency and polished finish of the Ceylon sapphire, the high quality near colorless VS diamonds, and the robust construction in 14 karat yellow gold create a piece that is both visually refined and practically resilient, an investment in beauty engineered for real life wear and intended to deliver enduring performance and satisfaction.
