Three Stone Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 2.24 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring is built around a transparent 2.24 carat radiant shape pinkish purple sapphire sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, with precise dimensions of 8.48 by 7.01 by 4.34 millimeters. The radiant cut used here blends the rectangular outline and trimmed corners of an emerald silhouette with a brilliant facet pattern on both the crown and pavilion, producing a high degree of scintillation and fire while preserving a broad, faceted table for color display. Calculated against the average of its length and width, the stone presents an approximate depth percentage of 56.0 percent, a proportion that balances face up spread with internal light return. The sapphire exhibits vivid color saturation, revealing a balanced pinkish purple hue that demonstrates both stability and lively color play under varied lighting. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, which means inclusions do not detract from the overall transparency or light performance of the gem, and the excellent polish enhances facet definition and edge crispness, ensuring optimal interaction with incident light.

Flanking the central sapphire are matched natural white half moon diamonds totaling approximately 0.50 carats, selected for their complementary geometry and optical properties. Executed in precise half moon cuts, these stones serve as transitional shoulders, their curved outer edges aligning with the trimmed corners of the radiant center to create a continuous optical flow along the profile of the ring. The diamonds are graded at color E, which is within the near colorless to colorless range and provides a high degree of contrast next to the vivid pinkish purple of the sapphire. Clarity grades of VS1 and VS2 indicate that any internal features are minor and located such that they do not interrupt the brilliance or create visible distractions at normal viewing distances. Faceting on the half moons is calibrated to match the brightness and scintillation of the sapphire, minimizing any spectral discord and enhancing perceived symmetry when viewed from the face up position.

The mounting is executed entirely in 18 karat yellow gold, a material choice that intentionally warms the visual presentation of the pinkish purple sapphire, intensifying its pink undertones and creating a classic, timeless aesthetic. The head is constructed with four secure prongs that hold the radiant center while allowing the pavilion to breathe and return light through an open gallery, a design consideration that increases optical performance and simplifies professional cleaning and inspection. The shank is tapered subtly toward the shoulders, providing ergonomic comfort and a visual emphasis on the center stone, while the inner surfaces are hand finished to achieve smooth contact with the finger. Attention to mechanical tolerances is evident in the tight stone seats and consistent prong geometry, which together reduce movement, protect girdles, and prolong the life of the setting under daily wear conditions.

As an engagement or wedding piece this ring carries both technical and emotional significance, combining gemological durability with considered design. Sapphire registers nine on the Mohs scale, offering excellent resistance to abrasion and making it suitable for the constant contact that an engagement ring experiences, while the secure prong setting and robust half moon shoulders contribute mechanical reliability. The choice of a vivid pinkish purple sapphire instead of a traditional colorless diamond communicates intentionality and individuality, providing a visual signature that still reads as formal and elegant. The proportions and profile permit pairing with a straight band or a contoured wedding ring, and the half moon shoulders allow for snug set options that maintain alignment over time. From a craft perspective the combination of a radiant cut center and half moon side stones creates a balance of brilliance and color saturation, producing a ring that reads as both contemporary and heirloom in potential.
