Solitaire Sapphire Ring 4.06 Ct., Platinum 950

The ring features a beautiful, transparent 4.06 carat oval shape pink sapphire with the dimensions of 12.40 x 8.98 x 4.29 mm and a mixed brilliant cut. It has a clarity grade of very slightly included (evaluated at eye level), very light color saturation, and an excellent polish. The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon, which is now known as Sri Lanka. This gem-rich island, located in the Indian Ocean, has been celebrated for centuries for its sapphires.
Sri Lanka, often referred to as the “Gem Island”, has a history of over 2,500 years in mining and trading precious stones. It is renowned for yielding some of the finest sapphires in the world. Our journey to bringing this exquisite pink sapphire to you starts deep in the lush riverbeds and mountainous regions of Sri Lanka. These areas are rich in minerals and provide the perfect conditions for the formation of high-quality sapphires. Miners, employing traditional methods that have been passed down through generations, carefully extract these gemstones from alluvial deposits and metamorphic rock formations.
Each sapphire is then meticulously inspected and evaluated for its natural beauty and characteristics. The pink sapphire in our ring has undergone this rigorous selection process, ensuring that only the gemstones of superior quality proceed to the gemstone cutters. The mixed brilliant cut of this sapphire enhances its natural brilliance, offering a scintillating display of light that captivates the eye. This cut brings out the best in the stone, ensuring maximum sparkle and a delightful play of colors.
Once the sapphire is expertly cut and polished to perfection, it is ready to be set in a fittingly luxurious medium. The setting of this pink sapphire is as significant as the gemstone itself. Our master jewelers have chosen platinum 950 for this setting, a choice that emphasizes both elegance and durability. Platinum is prized for its rarity, its non-tarnishing and hypoallergenic properties, and its ability to hold precious stones securely. The cool, lustrous finish of platinum perfectly complements the delicate pink hue of the sapphire, making the ring an epitome of sophistication and timeless beauty.
Our artisan jewelers carefully set the pink sapphire in the platinum band, ensuring that every aspect of the ring speaks of quality and craftsmanship. The four-prong setting allows ample light to pass through the sapphire, accentuating its stunning transparency and depth of color. The result is a ring that is not only beautiful to behold but also significant for the natural wonders and human artistry it embodies.
To possess this ring is to carry a piece of Sri Lanka's rich gemstone heritage. It is to experience the journey of a precious stone from the heart of the earth to a cherished symbol of elegance on your finger. Every glance at this masterpiece brings not just admiration for its exceptional aesthetics but also a deep appreciation for the natural and human effort that went into its creation. This ring is more than a piece of jewelry; it is a narrative of nature's art and human dedication, a blend of history, culture, and exquisite craftsmanship.
