Accent Stones Pink Sapphire Ring 3.02 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring features a transparent 3.02 carat radiant shape pink sapphire measuring 8.56 by 7.49 by 4.68 millimeters, set in a 14K yellow gold mounting by The Natural Sapphire Company. The sapphire shows an eye clean clarity grade at normal viewing distance, light color saturation, and an excellent polish. The stone is heat treated to enhance stability and hue and is sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The mounting includes three round natural white diamonds on each shoulder, with a total weight of approximately 0.27 carats, color grade F, and clarity grades of VS1 and VS2. The combination of the radiant center and bright white diamond accents produces a balanced visual contrast and refined aesthetic that highlights the pink tone while maintaining strong overall brilliance and sparkle.

In terms of light performance, the radiant cut in this piece offers a hybrid advantage over purely step cut or purely brilliant cut styles. Compared with round brilliant cuts, the radiant shape yields substantial brilliance and scattering of light, though an ideal round brilliant retains a slight edge in maximum light return and uniform scintillation. Against step cuts such as emerald or asscher, the radiant cut returns significantly more sparkle and fire while still preserving a clear outline and architectural faceting. Versus cushion and oval cuts, the radiant maintains crisper corners and a more geometric silhouette while delivering comparable dispersion and lively scintillation. The proportions and excellent polish of this particular sapphire support effective light return, making internal reflections appear lively without noticeable windowing or dead zones. The near colorless white diamonds on the shoulders act to increase apparent brightness around the center stone, providing localized contrast that enhances perceived color and sparkle of the pink sapphire. Overall, this ring demonstrates how a well cut radiant sapphire can combine the color presentation and clarity visibility typical of Ceylon sapphires with a lively, faceted light performance that sits between classic step cut restraint and full brilliant cut fire.
