Pave Purple Sapphire Ring 1.76 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring is centered by a transparent cushion shape purple sapphire weighing 1.76 carats, dimensions 7.78 x 5.95 x 3.87 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize return of light and internal scintillation. The sapphire exhibits a medium intense color saturation that presents a vivid and lively purple tone without appearing overly dark, and it is evaluated as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not affect the face up appeal of the gem. The mixed brilliant cut combines the soft, vintage silhouette of the cushion outline with modern brilliant faceting, creating a balanced display of sparkle and color, and the excellent polish enhances the stone surface to ensure clear passage of light. This sapphire has not undergone any enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing sapphires with lively color and good clarity, qualities that are evident in the stone presented here.

The primary stone is complemented by carefully selected white round natural diamonds, placed to accentuate the center sapphire and to add controlled brilliance along the shoulders of the ring. Smaller diamonds weighing approximately 0.06 carats are graded Very Slightly Included, with clarity levels identified as VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of F, offering near colorless white light that harmonizes with the purple center. Additional accent diamonds of approximately 0.12 carats carry a clarity grade of VS and a color grade between F and G, serving as slightly larger focal points on the band while maintaining consistent white balance and sparkle. The diamonds are precision cut and well matched to provide steady scintillation without competing with the sapphire, the resulting interplay of fire and brilliance draws attention to the center stone while reinforcing an overall sense of refinement. The entire composition is executed in platinum 950, a high purity alloy that provides a cool, durable mounting, excellent resistance to wear, and a secure setting environment for both the sapphire and its diamond accents.

Beyond its technical specifications, the optical performance of the sapphire and the measured application of diamond accents convey a considered symbolism of enduring commitment. The sapphire’s internal brilliance communicates depth and constancy, its cushion shape combining historical elegance with contemporary light return reflects a relationship that is both rooted and alive, and the presence of natural, untreated material speaks to authenticity and lasting value. Set in platinum 950, the ring’s cool white metal and the high clarity of the accent diamonds frame the purple center in a manner that suggests balance between passion and permanence, the diamonds offering bright, successive flashes that mirror the ongoing moments of shared life, while the sapphire retains a steady, saturated presence that symbolizes deep affection. This piece is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company and embodies the company’s emphasis on documented origin, uncompromised gem quality, and meticulous setting, qualities that are especially meaningful for an engagement or commitment ring intended to be worn and appreciated for generations.
