Three Stone Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 1.62 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

There is a certain gravity to gems that carry the story of centuries, and this pinkish purple Ceylon sapphire is a quiet ambassador of that enduring legacy. From the storied mines of Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, come sapphires that have long inspired kings and connoisseurs, and this 1.62 carat oval stone continues that line of tradition. Set in warm 14K yellow gold, the ring reads like a classical heirloom, a piece designed to be passed between generations while retaining a modern poise. The gentle oval silhouette and the restrained profile of the band evoke the measured elegance of vintage jewels, yet the craftsmanship and finishing are of unmistakably contemporary precision. For those who cherish history and the continuity of design, this ring offers the rare combination of provenance and wearable refinement, a tangible link to the natural world and to traditions of adornment that span continents and centuries.

The heart of the ring is a transparent 1.62 carat oval sapphire, measuring 7.83 by 5.65 by 4.82 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both depth and scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut preserves the classic elegance of an oval form while introducing a fine play of light that animates the stone from every angle. This sapphire displays light color saturation in a pinkish purple hue that reads as both romantic and stately depending on the light, and an excellent polish that allows its color and clarity to sing without obstruction. At eye level the clarity is graded very very slightly included, meaning the inclusions are subtle and do nothing to detract from the gem's overall beauty or transparency. Critically for purists, the stone has undergone no enhancement, so what you see is the gem as nature forged it, an unaltered expression of Ceylonese geology. Because the sapphire is naturally attractive in color and clarity, minimal enhancement was necessary, and minimal intervention was used, allowing the gem to remain true to its origins.

Flanking the main sapphire are two white round lab grown diamonds, bright accents that echo traditional three stone compositions while bringing modern ethical clarity to the design. Together they weigh approximately 0.06 carats, with each diamond carefully selected for a balance of brilliance and everyday durability. Their clarity grades fall in the Very Slightly Included range, VS1 and VS2, and they are color grade F, a near colorless grade that provides a crisp, luminous contrast against the warm 14K yellow gold and the delicate pinkish purple of the central sapphire. These diamonds are set with precision to frame the center stone rather than compete with it, enhancing the focal sapphire’s presence while adding a whisper of white fire. The use of lab grown diamonds affords a contemporary assurance of traceability and value, while the classical proportions preserve the timeless profile of the ring, creating a piece that feels simultaneously antique and entirely current.

The Natural Sapphire Company has long celebrated natural gemstones that require only careful setting and thoughtful design to reveal their best selves, and this ring exemplifies that philosophy. The 14K yellow gold setting is both durable and warm, chosen to complement the sapphire’s subtle purple-pink tones and to anchor the piece as a lifelong treasure. The craftsmanship visible in the gallery, prongs, and polish speaks to a workshop tradition where every line and curve is considered for both beauty and comfort. Owning this ring is to accept a quiet promise, that of a jewel whose worth is not manufactured but revealed, whose natural attributes need only a gentle hand to shine. For those who prize legacy, provenance, and authenticity, this ring answers with a directness rare in modern jewelry. If you seek a piece with a storied past and the capacity to become part of a new story, The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to consider this fine Ceylon sapphire, a gem that requires minimal enhancement and maximum respect, ready to be cherished for years to come.
