Halo Pink Sapphire Ring 1.68 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a transparent 1.68 carat oval pink sapphire, measuring 8.30 x 6.37 x 3.93 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance table brightness and pavilion fire, and graded as very slightly included when examined at eye level, with a medium intense color saturation and an excellent polish. The sapphire originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing vivid, silky pinks with strong clarity, and it has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves tone and saturation without compromising durability. Complementing the center stone are white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.357 carats, graded Very Slightly Included in the VS1 and VS2 range, and color graded F for a near colorless appearance that adds bright contrast to the pink center. The entire composition is set in platinum 950, a metal choice that preserves the stones with a dense, hard wearing surface while maintaining a high quality white luster that does not require plating. The design presents a refined halo of diamonds around the oval sapphire, with prong work that secures each accent while allowing light to enter from multiple angles, maximizing brilliance and maintaining an elegant profile on the finger.

From a durability perspective this piece performs exceptionally well compared with many similar designs on the market, especially those set in softer metals or using more exposed mounting styles. Sapphires rate nine on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, which means the 1.68 carat Ceylon sapphire will resist scratching and daily abrasion far better than gemstones with lower hardness, and the heat treatment noted is stable under normal wearing conditions. The use of platinum 950 increases long term resilience, because platinum is denser than gold and tends to hold prongs more securely over time, reducing the risk of stone loosening, and it is less likely to thin or wear away compared with lighter weight settings often seen in fashion rings. Compared with similar halo rings set in 18 karat or 14 karat gold, this platinum 950 mounting offers superior structural integrity for active wearers, while the VS clarity and F color of the diamonds maintain sparkle without noticeable inclusions, making the overall construction both aesthetically enduring and practical. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize gem sourcing and craftsmanship, and this ring represents a balanced combination of gemmological quality and robust construction for an educated buyer seeking lasting value.
