Antique Style Pink Sapphire Ring 1.05 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers a 1.05 carat radiant shape pink sapphire, dimensions 6.80 x 4.81 x 3.57 mm, sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, clarity grade eye clean, evaluated at eye level, medium color saturation, excellent polish. The radiant cut used here integrates a mixed facet architecture, combining a brilliant facet pattern on the crown with a stepped pavilion layout, which increases the number of refracting planes and creates rapid light return through the table. The table size has been balanced to preserve face up color while allowing optimal entry of light, while truncated corners increase corner facet area, adding additional pathways for dispersion and micro scintillation. Given corundum has a refractive index of approximately 1.76, the cutter has set conservative pavilion angles to promote internal reflection rather than light leakage, the result is a stone that displays strong return of white light and subtle flashes of spectral color, the excellent polish minimizes surface scatter, and the eye clean clarity ensures the light pathways remain unimpeded at typical viewing distances.

The platinum 950 setting is engineered to enhance the gem's optical performance, the finely formed prongs lift the pavilion clear of the band so light can enter across multiple angles, and the open gallery geometry directs reflected light back through the crown for increased brilliance. Platinum 950 also provides a stable, high density metal that supports precise symmetry of the setting, maintaining facet alignment and prong tension over time, the cool white metal increases contrast against the pink saturation without introducing tint, and the overall band profile has been kept slender to reduce obstruction of lateral light. At The Natural Sapphire Company we focus on the interaction between facet architecture and mounting, the technical choices made in cut proportions, polish quality, and setting design work together to maximize light reflection, if you would like further measurements, facet diagrams, or a video demonstrating light performance we can provide them.
