Accent Stones Pinkish Purple Sapphire Ring 3.13 Ct., 14K White & Yellow

This ring centers on a 3.13 carat radiant shape pinkish purple sapphire, calibrated 8.66 by 7.39 by 4.86 millimeters, exhibiting a medium intense color saturation and an eye clean clarity when evaluated at normal viewing distance. The stone is unenhanced, a rare attribute in today’s market, and it displays an excellent polish that preserves sharp facet junctions and a controlled windowing effect. The radiant cut used for this sapphire combines a brilliant-style facet arrangement on the crown with a more step-oriented pavilion, producing a lively interplay of dispersion and return of light while maintaining strong face-up color. The cut proportions, including a moderate pavilion depth and a well-proportioned table, have been selected to optimize the balance between color saturation and scintillation, so the pinkish purple hue remains vivid without becoming opaque, and the pavilion faceting minimizes undesirable light leakage.

From a faceting and lapidary standpoint, the radiant cut’s trimmed corners and mixed-facet design increase durability compared with sharp-cornered square cuts, while the distributed facet pattern enhances contrast and scintillation in a larger face-up surface area. The cutter has emphasized symmetry and facet alignment to ensure even color distribution across the table and to control the interaction between crown brilliance and pavilion return. The excellent polish supports crisp light return and tactile smoothness against the setting, and the eye-clean clarity grade confirms that inclusions do not interfere with optical performance at normal viewing distances, allowing the medium intense saturation to be appreciated without distraction. The unheated, natural condition of this sapphire further elevates its desirability among connoisseurs who prioritize untreated material and natural color origin.

Complementing the sapphire is approximately 0.50 carats of white pear shaped lab grown diamonds, selected for their F color and VS1-VS2 clarity range. The pear shape acts as a geometric counterpoint to the radiant, with carefully faceted pavilion and crown facets that emphasize elongated brilliance and a tapered outline to visually offset the broader square silhouette of the sapphire. Each accent diamond is set to maximize light return and optical integration with the center stone, the orientation and axis calibrated to produce a pleasing asymmetric balance in the mounting. The combined properties of F color and VS clarity yield bright, near-colorless performance in the accents, ensuring that their white light complements rather than competes with the pinkish purple tone of the sapphire.

The mounting is executed in two-tone 18 karat gold, with the heads finished in 18K white gold to provide a neutral, reflective surround for the gemstones, and the shank formed in 18K yellow gold to introduce warmth and contrast against the cooler setting. The choice of white gold for the stone seats enhances perceived whiteness of the pear diamonds while creating a crisp bezel for the sapphire prongs, and the yellow gold shank returned to a polished finish provides visual weight and wearable comfort. The workmanship shows precise prong geometry and tight seat tolerances, engineered to protect girdles and corners while maintaining maximum face-up exposure. Origin is an important contributor to character and provenance in this piece, the sapphire being sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historic and geologically distinct provenance noted for producing corundum with the delicate, often pastel-inflected pinks and violets that make this 3.13 carat radiant especially compelling. The unheated Ceylon origin speaks to a specific formation environment and traditional alluvial recovery, characteristics that informed our grading and valuation, and they are central to the ring’s appeal for collectors and informed buyers who prioritize traceable, natural material. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this ring as a technically refined example of lapidary skill, gemological integrity, and considered design, intended for clients who value precise faceting, transparent disclosure of origin and treatment, and the harmonious pairing of a natural Ceylon sapphire with high-quality lab-grown diamond accents.
