Solitaire Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 1.62 Ct., Platinum 950

This pear shape ring from The Natural Sapphire Company showcases a beautifully transparent 1.62 carat pinkish purple sapphire, with precise dimensions of 8.74 x 6.11 x 3.96 millimeters and a mixed brilliant cut that combines the scintillation of a brilliant facet pattern with the elegance of a pear outline. Compared with many commercially available sapphires that have undergone heat treatment or other enhancements to correct color or clarity, this Ceylon gem is offered with no enhancement, a rare and highly desirable attribute that preserves the natural character and provenance of the stone. The sapphire’s medium intense color saturation gives it a lively, wearable hue that reads as a delicate pinkish purple rather than a flat pastel or overly vivid artificial tone. Its clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, and the excellent polish ensures that light travels through the stone unimpeded, producing a lively play of sparkle. For customers comparing options, this combination of natural origin, untreated status, transparent body color and meticulous cutting delivers both aesthetic richness and long term value that many mass market pieces simply do not match.

Where some rings prioritize flash over daily practicality, this design balances elegance with functionality. The mixed brilliant cut is chosen to maximize brilliance and scintillation, bringing out the stone’s internal fire while keeping the overall silhouette refined and classic. The 18K white gold setting offers a bright, neutral frame that complements the pinkish purple tone without overpowering it, and provides a durable, hypoallergenic surface for everyday wear. Compared to similarly colored stones set in softer metals or plated settings, an 18K gold mount resists wear and retains weight and feel, so the ring maintains its presence over years of use. The setting is crafted to lift the pear shape just enough to allow light to enter and enhance sparkle, while remaining restrained enough to minimize catching and snagging, a practical advantage for those who want to wear their gemstone daily. The result is an understated, elegant profile that reads as refined jewelry design, yet performs reliably in real life.

Value wise, this ring competes favorably against both larger but treated sapphires and smaller higher-clarity stones. Many sellers achieve vivid color with post-mining treatments that reduce long term rarity and sometimes complicate future re-sale or certification. In contrast, an untreated Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company brings documented origin and natural color, attributes that increasingly matter to informed buyers and collectors. The very very slightly included clarity grade, when combined with the stone’s transparency and excellent polish, means the eye perceives a clean, bright gem without the premium cost of flawless pieces. For those comparing gemstones, this ring hits an optimal point on the value curve, offering authentic, attractive color and excellent optical performance without the markups associated with flawless or heavily marketed celebrity stones. Additionally, the mixed brilliant cut and precise dimensions function to maximize perceived size on the finger, creating a presence that belies the stone’s 1.62 carat weight.

Finally, the practical considerations of owning and wearing this ring have been carefully addressed in its design and construction. Corundum, the mineral family that includes sapphire, rates a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making this pinkish purple gem significantly more scratch resistant than common jewelry stones, while the robust 18K white gold mounting adds structural integrity. The ring’s polish and smooth band are engineered for comfort, with a balanced thickness that avoids unnecessary bulk but resists bending and day to day wear. Customers looking for a distinctive alternative to diamonds will appreciate how the pear shape and unique Sri Lankan hue offer individuality without sacrificing the reliability expected from fine jewelry. As a piece from The Natural Sapphire Company, this ring arrives with the assurance of careful sourcing and gemological expertise, positioning it as a superior choice for someone who wants both elegance and functionality in one thoughtfully made ring.
