Accent Stones Purple Sapphire Ring 1.70 Ct., 14K Rose Gold

Long before this ring was imagined in a workshop, the heart of it was formed deep within the earth, where heat and pressure coaxed mineral and trace element into a rare and vivid purple sapphire. Mined in Madagascar, a place known for producing sapphires with intense and lively colors, this particular stone became a 1.70 carat pear shape gem that measures 9.14 x 5.69 x 4.49 mm. The cutter honored the crystal by choosing a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that marries the sparkle of brilliant facets with the elegant silhouette of a pear, and a polish so fine that each surface catches and returns light with bright, lively reflections. At eye level the clarity reads very very slightly included, a mark that speaks to natural origin and honest beauty, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a quality we at The Natural Sapphire Company take great pride in presenting to collectors and those seeking a truly natural treasure.

The journey from rough to refined gem is a conversation between the stone and the craftsman, and in this ring that conversation included delicate supporting companions. Two white round lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.03 carats in total, flank the center sapphire and are selected for their clean sparkle, grading VS1 and VS2 for clarity and F for color. These diamonds are chosen not to compete with the sapphire, but to accentuate it, throwing back additional white light that enhances the sapphire’s intense purple saturation. The mounting was planned with intention. Each setting decision from prong placement to the little openwork in the gallery was made to allow maximum light into the mixed brilliant cut sapphire, to protect it gently, and to create a sense of lift where the stone appears to float above the finger while remaining secure in everyday life.

Every element of the ring was conceived with the wearer in mind, especially the band which is entirely rendered in 14K rose gold, a warm metal that complements the violet tones of the sapphire. The shank is polished and rounded for comfort, sculpted to sit smoothly against the skin so the ring can be worn all day without the worry of sharp edges or pinching. The transition from the band to the shoulders is tapered to distribute weight evenly, ensuring the center stone feels balanced and natural on the hand. The prongs are firm and refined, designed to hold the pear shape securely while minimizing metal visibility so that the gem reads as the hero. The low to modest profile of the setting keeps snagging to a minimum while still allowing light to enter the pavilion, and the overall feel is one of thoughtful ergonomics, making this a piece that moves with life rather than against it.

Beyond the technical details, this ring carries a narrative meant to connect you to place, time, and craft. Madagascar has long been a source of stones that capture imagination, and a purple sapphire such as this brings a subtle yet distinct voice to the language of gemstones, blending the regal associations of sapphires with a more introspective, modern hue. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that lineage by presenting stones in their natural state, by choosing companions like well matched lab grown diamonds to highlight rather than overshadow, and by crafting settings in 14K rose gold that invite daily wear. Whether you are seeking an engagement ring with an individual story, a piece to mark a personal milestone, or simply a jewel to wear as an everyday emblem of beauty, this ring offers durability, comfort, and a provenance you can trust. To preserve its finish, regular gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep the sapphire and diamonds bright, and our team is happy to advise on fitting and care so this ring can be a companion for years to come.
