Three Stone Pink Sapphire Ring 0.70 Ct., 14K White Gold

Every gemstone has a story that begins long before it reaches the jeweller’s bench, and this ring carries with it the warm, sunlit history of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The centrepiece is a transparent 0.70 carat oval pink sapphire, measuring 5.90 by 4.88 by 3.09 millimetres, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances sparkle and colour. Sourced from the famed alluvial gravels and hillside veins of Sri Lanka, this gem shows the gentle, natural character that makes Ceylon sapphires so beloved. Its medium light colour saturation gives a delicate, romantic pink that shifts subtly as it moves, and its eye clean clarity, evaluated at eye level, means the stone presents a clean, luminous face that invites the eye to explore its depth. The sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, and enjoys an excellent polish, so what you see is the unaltered beauty of nature brought to a refined finish by master cutters. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate this provenance, because every facet and every hue in this stone is a fingerprint of Earth and place.

The design around the centre sapphire tells a complementary story. Flanking the pink oval are natural white diamonds in a marquise shape, with a total weight of approximately 0.30 carats. These diamonds carry clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, and a colour grade of I, which together deliver bright scintillation and elegant contrast without overwhelming the centre stone. The marquise form stretches light along the band, cradling the pink sapphire and creating a classic three stone silhouette that speaks of both tradition and contemporary taste. The entire ensemble is set in 14K white gold, chosen for its cool tone that highlights the pink without diminishing warmth. The setting is carefully engineered to lift the sapphire so that light travels beneath the stone, accentuating its mixed brilliant facets and the excellent polish, while secure prongs keep the gem safe for everyday wear.

When comparing this natural Ceylon sapphire to lab grown alternatives it is helpful to consider both the tangible differences and the intangible values. Lab grown sapphires are produced in controlled environments, and as a result they often display very uniform colour and fewer inclusions to the naked eye. For customers who prioritise uniformity and a particular colour intensity at a lower price point, lab grown stones can be an excellent choice. By contrast this untreated Ceylon sapphire carries the irregularities and variegated warmth that only a natural stone can show. Its medium light saturation, subtle zoning, and natural internal features tell a geological story of heat, pressure, and mineral presence over millennia. These are not flaws, but signatures of origin that collectors and those who cherish provenance prize. In practical terms, natural untreated sapphires like this one from Sri Lanka often hold different resale and collecting value compared with lab grown gems, and they offer the emotional resonance of a stone formed in the earth rather than the laboratory.

Selecting a ring is as much about connection as it is about specifications, and this piece offers a layered experience from mine to finger. Our cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company matched the oval pink sapphire to the marquise diamonds and to a slim white gold band so that every element complements the others. The excellent polish accentuates the play of light across the mixed brilliant facets, while the marquise diamonds add directional sparkle that frames the central pink. Because the sapphire is natural and unenhanced, care is straightforward, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is all that is required to maintain its radiance. If you are considering alternatives, we can show comparable lab grown options so you can see the visual distinctions side by side. We can also provide detailed provenance information and a full description of the stone’s characteristics, so you can feel informed and confident about the story you choose to wear. This ring is both an heirloom in the making and a celebration of natural beauty, crafted with attention to detail and respect for the origin of each gem.
