Pave Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 2.00 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the moment the crystal that became this ring first formed beneath the ancient soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it began a long and patient journey. Centuries of pressure and subtle shifts in the earth coaxed traces of chromium and iron into a sapphire crystal, giving it a rare pinkish purple personality. Miners in Sri Lanka have a generations deep respect for these stones, and this sapphire was carefully recovered with that same respect. At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace each gem back to its origin, and the story of this stone begins in a landscape where monsoon rains and heat shaped the alluvial deposits that reveal the finest sapphires. The human element began when our trusted partners hand sorted and selected this crystal for its transparency and lively hue, knowing that even before cutting it held the potential to become something unforgettable.

The transformation from rough crystal to the pear shape that now crowns this ring required a cutter with both skill and restraint, because the stone asked for minimal intervention. We present a transparent 2.00 carat pear shape sapphire with the dimensions 9.95 x 6.42 x 4.88 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to marry exceptional scintillation with a graceful outline. The cutter preserved the sapphire s natural charm while enhancing its fire and brilliance, achieving an excellent polish and a balance of facets that make the color sing. The clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone carries tiny natural features that are only a quiet reminder of its origin beneath the earth. The color is a medium intense saturation, a pinkish purple that shifts subtly with movement and light, and this natural beauty has required only thoughtful heat treatment to stabilize tone and clarity, a modest enhancement that respects the gem s authentic character.

Framing the center sapphire is a carefully considered arrangement of white round natural diamonds, set to celebrate the central color rather than overwhelm it. The ring features white round shaped natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.324 carats, clarity VS and a color grade of F or G, and additional white round shaped natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.432 carats, clarity VS and a color grade of F or G. These bright, high quality melee stones form a halo and intertwined shoulders that catch light from every angle, lending a ribbon like dance of light that complements the sapphire s mixed brilliant facets. The diamonds are chosen for their clean appearance and lively sparkle, qualities that accentuate the sapphire without hiding the subtle inclusions that are part of its natural story. The entire composition is set in warm 14K yellow gold, a metal choice that enhances the pinkish purple hue and gives the piece an heirloom warmth that will mellow and deepen over time.

What you hold is more than a ring, it is a narrative of place and hands, of earth and craft. From the alluvial bedrock of Ceylon to the precise movements of the cutter and setter, each step was guided by a philosophy that celebrates minimal enhancement and maximal honesty. The sapphire needed only careful heat treatment to reveal its best, and our craftsmen designed a setting that protects the gem while allowing it to breathe and to show its natural light. At The Natural Sapphire Company we stand behind the origins and the craftsmanship, and we present this ring as a wearable story, ready to become part of your own. Whether chosen as a vow of love, a mark of personal milestone, or a treasured addition to a growing collection, this ring invites a lifetime of moments, each one reflecting the simple, enduring beauty that was born in the earth and finished by human hands.
