Antique Style Pink Sapphire Ring 3.03 Ct., 18K White & Yellow

From the moment this sapphire began its long journey beneath the ancient soils of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, it gathered light and time into a promise. Deep in the weathered alluvial gravels where sapphires form, the crystal grew slowly, layer by layer, absorbing trace elements that gave it a gentle, medium saturated pink that is both delicate and resolute. Local miners and their families have, for generations, known how to read the land for these hidden treasures, and this particular crystal was selected for its transparency and potential to be transformed into something luminous. Unenhanced and fully natural, this gem arrived at our cutters with a GIA certificate that confirms its identity and integrity, a Pink 3.03 carat pear shape pink sapphire measuring 10.47 by 7.49 by 5.42 millimeters, clarity described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that would be the key to unlocking its brilliance.

The true magic of this stone was revealed under the hands of the cutter who understood how to coax light from the heart of a pear shape. By choosing a mixed brilliant cut the cutter combined the scintillating, fire producing facets of a brilliant with the elegant outline and depth control of a modified step design, yielding a pavilion that returns light with lively sparkle, and a crown that disperses flashes of spectral color as the ring moves. The pear silhouette accentuates directional light play, drawing the eye from the rounded base to the pointed tip, and here the mixed brilliant arrangement was tailored to the stone dimensions and crystal orientation so that each facet acts with purpose. With an excellent polish every facet face becomes a mirror that captures ambient rays, and the deliberate balance between crown height and pavilion depth was set to maximize internal reflection rather than leakage, so the result is a pink that glows from within, rather than merely reflecting surface color.

Surrounding the sapphire is a halo and supporting accents of white round shaped natural diamonds that amplify its radiance, each selected to contribute pure white light and scintillation. The diamonds are presented in a combination of sizes, weighing approximately 0.05 carats, 0.10 carats, 0.16 carats, and 0.071 carats, with clarity grades in the Very Slightly Included range identified as VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F that ensures cool, bright contrast against the warm pink of the sapphire. Placed with precision in a white gold setting that crowns the sapphire, these diamonds form a ring of reflected light that increases the optical surface area seen by the eye, creating the impression of even greater brilliance and presence. The white gold elements hold and reflect light back into the sapphire and diamonds, while the surrounding 14K yellow gold band offers a softer, golden embrace that complements the rosy tones of the central gem, creating a dual tone harmony that reads as both classic and contemporary. The open gallery beneath the stone is engineered to allow light to travel freely into the pavilion, and the prongs are positioned to secure the pear shape without interrupting the path of light, so each movement of the hand becomes an exhibition of sparkles.
