Three Stone Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 2.24 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.24 carat radiant shape pinkish purple sapphire, measuring 8.48 by 7.01 by 4.34 millimeters, a proportion that balances presence and wearability. The radiant cut is an excellent choice for this material because it fuses brilliant facets with a refined outline, optimizing light return and color display. At The Natural Sapphire Company we look for three benchmarks that educated buyers prize, carat weight, clarity, and color, and this sapphire excels on all three. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, meaning the stone presents exceptional transparency to the naked eye, while small internal characteristics only show under magnification. Color shows vivid saturation, the most important single factor for sapphires, and the combination of pink and purple in a Ceylon origin stone gives it that sought after, lively tone that Sri Lankan sapphires are known for. The excellent polish ensures facet junctions are crisp and surfaces are smooth, a finishing quality that enhances brilliance without concealing the stone with heavy surface treatments.

Because this sapphire exhibits strong natural color and clean appearance, it requires minimal enhancement to reveal its best qualities. From a lapidary perspective, minimal enhancement means the cutter was able to rely on the material s intrinsic color and clarity when establishing the faceting plan, rather than needing to mask issues with aggressive cutting or additional finishes. The excellent polish and the stone s calibrated radiant proportions demonstrate that the gem was shaped to maximize optical performance and durability, with no need for excessive modification to correct color zoning or surface irregularities. Responsible disclosure is important to sophisticated buyers, and The Natural Sapphire Company provides full information about origin and any interventions, while emphasizing when a stone s own properties are the primary source of its beauty.

The side stones and accent diamonds are chosen to complement the sapphire in both technical and aesthetic terms. Flanking the sapphire are white half moon shaped lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.50 carats in total, with clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F. These half moon shapes provide clean transitions from the center stone to the band, their faceting enhancing contrast and perceived size without overwhelming the primary gem. The ring further features white round shaped natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.33 carats in total, with a clarity of VS and a color range of F to G. The use of very slightly included and VS graded diamonds, combined with high color grades, ensures bright, white side gems that support the center sapphire, adding sparkle while preserving a refined, daylight neutral look that does not detract from the pinkish purple tone.

The mounting is crafted entirely in 18 karat yellow gold, a metal choice that complements and warms the pink and purple hues of the Ceylon sapphire. Yellow gold provides a classic, enduring setting that enhances the stone s saturation visually and offers a strong secure framework for the prongs and half moon accents. From a technical standpoint, the 18 karat alloy balances hardness and malleability, allowing precise prong work and pavé or channel settings for the round accent diamonds on the band, while ensuring everyday wearability. For the educated buyer this ring represents a considered combination of provenance, gem quality, and design restraint. The Ceylon origin, vivid color, very slightly included clarity, excellent polish, and minimal need for enhancement together create a piece whose intrinsic natural beauty is the defining feature, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it as an example of how careful sourcing and expert finishing deliver lasting value.
