Pave Purplish Blue Sapphire Ring 2.06 Ct., 14K White Gold

Presenting a truly exceptional piece from The Natural Sapphire Company, this exquisite ring prominently features a 2.06 carat purplish blue sapphire that commands attention with its stunning transparency and captivating hue. The sapphire is fashioned in a cushion shape with dimensions of 6.98 x 6.33 x 5.24 mm, showcasing a mixed brilliant cut that beautifully enhances its brilliance. Graded as very very slightly included at eye level, it boasts vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, speaking to both its quality and the meticulous craftsmanship involved. The sapphire originates from the renowned mines of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), famed for producing some of the world's finest sapphires. To achieve its vibrant allure, the gemstone has undergone heat treatment, a traditional enhancement technique that accentuates its natural beauty.

Comparing this natural gem to its lab-grown counterparts reveals a stark contrast. While lab-grown sapphires can mimic the appearance of natural stones, they lack the unique characteristics and historical richness found in a Ceylon sapphire. The depth of color, enhanced by heat treatment in our featured stone, is not simply a product of chemical processes but a testament to nature's artistry coupled with humans' gentle touch in refining its brilliance. Collectors and connoisseurs often express a preference for natural sapphires due to their rarity and intrinsic value. As a product of nature, this sapphire carries a history and a connection to the earth that cannot be replicated in a laboratory.

This splendid sapphire is further accentuated by a constellation of white diamonds, each chosen for their natural beauty and quality. The ring is adorned with four sets of white round natural diamonds, with weights of approximately 0.03, 0.04, 0.06, and 0.02 carats, respectively. Each diamond is graded with VS clarity, ensuring that they are visually captivating with only minute inclusions visible under 10x magnification. Their color grade of F/G ensures that they possess a near colorless allure, enhancing the sapphire's vividness without overshadowing it. Together, these diamonds lend a sparkling accompaniment to the central gem, collectively enhancing the ring’s luxurious appeal.

All elements are securely set in platinum 950, a metal renowned for its durability and luminous sheen. The choice of platinum not only complements the cool tones of the sapphire and diamonds but also ensures the enduring quality of this piece. Renowned for retaining its luster over time, platinum serves as the perfect foundation for the gemstones it holds, offering both security and a timeless elegance that enhances their natural vibrancy.

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company is more than just a piece of jewelry; it is a statement of sophistication and a celebration of nature's beauty. For the educated buyer, understanding the heritage and grading details of each component underscores its investment value. In a world where synthetic alternatives proliferate, possessing a natural Ceylon sapphire set amidst quality diamonds and platinum signifies appreciation for genuine articles and the stories they carry. From the origins of the sapphire to the meticulous assembly of the ring, each facet of this exquisite piece reflects an informed selection by The Natural Sapphire Company, committed to offering only the finest gemstones to connoisseurs and collectors alike.
