Antique Style Pink Sapphire Ring 2.20 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent oval pink sapphire weighing 2.20 carats, with dimensions of 9.17 by 6.66 by 4.52 millimeters and a mixed brilliant cut. The sapphire is of Ceylon Sri Lanka origin, showing intense color saturation and a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The stone has not been subjected to enhancement, and the polish has been recorded as excellent. The cutting proportions are notable, with a depth of 4.52 millimeters that corresponds to a depth percentage of approximately 57.1 percent when measured against the average of the length and width. This proportion sits within the range that allows both strong face up presence and efficient light return, and it reflects deliberate control over pavilion depth and crown height to balance brilliance and color. The mixed brilliant cut combines the optical advantages of brilliant faceting on the crown and a carefully modified pavilion arrangement, producing both scintillation and a stable color appearance across the table and along the girdle plane.

The precision of the faceting is the principal determinant of this sapphire s visual performance. Each facet junction has been executed to maintain crisp edges and consistent facet alignment that preserve symmetrical light paths through the stone, reducing leakage and minimizing windowing. The crown facets are arranged to deliver controlled dispersion and lively scintillation, while the pavilion facets are proportioned to return light efficiently to the eye, reinforcing the intense pink saturation without creating dark areas. The mixed brilliant approach permits a nuanced interplay between larger facets that distribute color and smaller facets that generate pinpoint flashes, resulting in a dynamic balance of broad color and lively sparkle. The excellent polish enhances facet transparency, producing clean facet mirrors free of surface interference and enabling the internal clarity characteristics to remain subtle at normal viewing distances. Attention to facet angles and table proportioning supports even color distribution, so that the pink tone reads uniformly from different viewing positions rather than pooling in isolated zones. The overall cutting quality ensures that the sapphire presents a cohesive optical personality that is both vibrant and refined.

The sapphire is set within a halo of white round shaped lab grown diamonds weighing approximately 0.84 carats in total, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F. These diamonds are faceted and selected for balanced proportions and consistent white tone, serving to frame the central pink sapphire while adding measured brilliance. The halo arrangement amplifies perceived size and enhances contrast, allowing the pink hue to remain the focal point while benefiting from additional perimeter sparkle. The mounting is executed in 18K yellow gold, providing a warm metal tone that complements the Ceylon pink and offers a controlled visual contrast with the near colorless diamonds. Prong settings are minimal and precisely executed to secure each stone without obscuring facet surfaces, and the gallery and undercarriage demonstrate careful workmanship to support the pavilion geometry while permitting light ingress. Craftsmanship aligns with the standards of The Natural Sapphire Company, with an emphasis on accurate stone placement, consistent seatings, and a polished finish on metal that matches the gemstone polish. The result is an object that highlights faceting precision as the core quality attribute, combining proportionate cutting, meticulous facet junctions, and complementary diamond mounting to present a ring that is technically resolved and visually coherent.
