Accent Stones Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 1.60 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.60 carat oval sapphire exhibiting a pinkish purple hue, with exact dimensions of 8.40 x 6.29 x 3.65 millimeters, and a mixed brilliant cut designed to combine the depth of step facets with the scintillation of brilliant facets. The sapphire carries a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating natural internal characteristics that are consistent with stones of this type and scale, and the medium color saturation affords a lively tone that reads distinctly pink with purple undertones depending on viewing angle and light source. The stone has an excellent polish, which enhances facet definition and light return, and it has been heat treated, a stable enhancement commonly applied to sapphires, to improve clarity and color evenness. The material is of Ceylon Sri Lankan origin, a provenance known for producing sapphires with refined pastel and medium saturations, and the mixed brilliant cut was selected to emphasize both the oval silhouette and internal reflections, producing a broad face up presence and a balanced play of brilliance and color.

The setting is executed in 14 karat yellow gold, with the center sapphire elevated on a four prong head that is precisely angled to secure the stone while exposing the pavilion to maximum light. The prongs are slender yet robust, positioned to follow the oval outline so that the sapphire sits visually unobstructed, while the gallery is intentionally open to allow light to pass beneath the stone, improving the stone s apparent brightness and color depth. The shoulders are graduated and set with white marquise shaped lab grown diamonds totaling approximately 0.48 carats, their combined weight distributed to create a deliberate transition from the center to the band. Each marquise is individually mounted in a low profile mount that traces the curvature of the band, minimizing metal between stones to maximize white light return, and the marquise geometry is oriented to echo the oval center, producing an elongating effect that reads cohesive from every angle. The diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F, attributes that provide clean, white contrast against the warm gold and the pinkish purple sapphire, and their mixed interaction with the center stone increases perceived sparkle while maintaining a refined silhouette.

The craftsmanship emphasizes proportions and finish, with the band retaining a comfortable thickness and a high polish that reflects highlights along the shank and around the mounted stones. The yellow gold tone was selected to enhance the warmth in the sapphire s body color, creating a complementary backdrop that brings out the pink component while the white marquise diamonds add crisp flashes of contrast. Attention to setting details such as prong shoulders, consistent stone spacing, and a smooth undergallery contributes to both aesthetic refinement and everyday wearability, with each diamond and the center stone aligned for optical balance and secure placement. The Natural Sapphire Company oversees selection and setting to ensure the stone s origin, treatment status, and grading descriptors are accurately represented, and the result is a ring that pairs a medium saturated Ceylon sapphire with precisely matched white marquise diamonds in a 14 karat yellow gold setting that is designed to maximize light interaction, to present the center color in its most flattering context, and to offer a polished, enduring composition suitable for continued wear.
