Solitaire Purple Sapphire Ring 3.02 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This 3.02 carat cushion shape Purple sapphire from Madagascar, certified by C.Dunaigre, stands out on the market for the combination of transparency, cut quality, and a clarity grade that is very slightly included evaluated at eye level. Many high end rings featuring sapphires or diamonds trade off size or color for clarity, or rely on stones with included material that softens the overall brilliance, but this sapphire offers a rare balance. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish maximize light return so the medium color saturation reads as a lively, even purple across the pavilion and crown, while the stone remains transparent and eye appealing. Compared to high end diamonds that boast VVS and VS clarity, sapphires of this size often show more obvious inclusions, yet this stone is visually clean at normal viewing distances, with only very slight inclusions visible under magnification, which preserves a clean face up appearance and keeps the gem feeling open and luminous. The cushion dimensions of 8.66 by 8.43 by 4.61 millimeters give it a commanding presence on the finger without sacrificing the depth that supports strong color and sparkle.

Set entirely in 14K yellow gold, the ring from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a value proposition that many competing high end pieces do not, because it pairs exceptional optical performance with a thoughtful, durable setting. Other premium rings may feature stones that require color enhancement or aggressive cutting to hide inclusions, which can compromise natural character, but this Madagascar origin sapphire shows honest, natural beauty with a certification that confirms its provenance and quality. For buyers comparing this ring to similarly priced options, consider that the combination of a transparent, well cut purple sapphire of this carat weight, and the excellent polish, produces a visual impact equal to or greater than many stones that claim higher clarity grades but lack color or size. The result is a distinctive, elegant ring that reads as both luxurious and authentic, a piece that maintains resale and sentimental value because the gem is true to its origin and grading. Choosing this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company means selecting a gem that competes with top tier offerings on clarity, while also delivering exceptional color, craftsmanship, and long term value.
