Pave Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 3.22 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent 3.22 carat pear shape pinkish purple sapphire, measuring approximately 10.54 by 7.50 by 5.34 mm, and fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize both fire and outline clarity. The sapphire shows light color saturation, a delicately feminine tone that sits between classic pink and soft violet, and an excellent polish that allows surface reflections to remain crisp and lively. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means inclusions are minimal and do not hinder the gem s transparency or visual appeal to the naked eye. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, a characteristic that significantly increases its desirability to collectors and connoisseurs, and it is certified as originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with refined pastels and exceptional optical properties. The combination of natural color, untreated clarity, and a precise mixed brilliant cut gives this center stone a presence and authenticity that educated buyers recognize and appreciate.

The gemological qualities of the sapphire make it noteworthy from both a technical and investment perspective, the mixed brilliant cut blends elements of a brilliant facet arrangement with step cut geometry to optimize scintillation and return of light while preserving a graceful pear silhouette, and the precise dimensions provide a well balanced profile on the finger without overwhelming proportions. The clarity grade described as very slightly included at eye level indicates that under loupe examination inclusions are present but unobtrusive, contributing to the stone s character without compromising durability, and the excellent polish speaks to meticulous lapidary work that enhances brilliance and reduces light leakage. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their clean, often pastel tones and for the crystal clarity that allows cutters to achieve lively facet patterns, and because this sapphire is unenhanced it retains all of its natural formation signatures, a factor that is increasingly valued by serious buyers who prioritize provenance and geological authenticity.

Complementing the center sapphire is a halo and band adorned with white round natural diamonds set in 18K white gold, the diamonds total approximately 0.84 carats combined, with the halo and band stones weighing about 0.48 carats for the primary grouping and an additional 0.36 carats for the surrounding and band set accents. The diamonds are graded VS for clarity and F to G for color, a pairing that ensures bright, white sparkle without visible inclusions when viewed with the naked eye, and the F to G color range offers excellent contrast against the white gold setting while maintaining a high level of color purity. The ring s construction features secure prong settings for the center stone and closely set pavé style diamonds along the shoulders, crafted to deliver maximum scintillation and a continuous sheet of light. The use of 18K white gold provides a durable and lustrous backdrop that complements the cool undertones of the diamonds while enhancing the warm pinkish purple of the sapphire, and the exacting metal work and polish reflect the high standards of finish you would expect from a piece presented by The Natural Sapphire Company.

Beyond measurable gemological attributes, the design carries intentional symbolism that speaks to sentiment and meaning, the pear shape is a hybrid of the round and marquise forms, signifying both emotional depth and elegant refinement, it is often interpreted as a teardrop of joy or a symbol of both past reflection and future growth, and its tapered point suggests direction and purpose which makes it particularly fitting for an engagement or milestone gift. The halo of diamonds serves as a metaphor for protection and continual light, surrounding the heart of the ring with radiance and implying that the central feeling or promise is supported and celebrated by enduring clarity and strength. The soft pinkish purple hue of the Ceylon sapphire conveys gentleness, sincerity, and a subtle individuality, qualities that appeal to someone seeking an alternative to traditional colorless stones while valuing natural origin and traceable provenance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize both the technical details and the emotional narrative of each piece, and this ring exemplifies a harmonious union of rare untreated material, precise craftsmanship, and symbolic design that will retain significance and appeal for years to come.
