Three Stone Purplish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.50 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.50 carat oval sapphire, with exact dimensions of 7.63 by 6.27 by 3.82 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a faceted brilliant crown with a proportioned pavilion designed to optimize return of light and color. The mixed brilliant cut on this oval employs a concentrated crown facet arrangement to maximize scintillation, while the pavilion facet geometry is calibrated to deliver even light performance across the table and along the long axis of the oval. The gem displays a purplish blue hue with medium intense color saturation, producing a strong face up presence without appearing overly dark, and the stone was evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, indicating inclusions that are minor and do not materially interrupt the overall transparency or visual performance. The polish has been graded excellent, yielding crisp facet intersections and smooth facet planes that enhance luster and dispersion, and the sapphire is natural and untreated, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, with no enhancement reported, which preserves the original crystal habit and natural color zoning characteristics associated with high quality Sri Lankan material.

Flanking the central sapphire are matched white trillion shaped natural diamonds, with a combined approximate weight of 0.40 carats, color graded E and clarity graded VS1 and VS2. The trillion cuts have been selected for their triangular brilliant facet architecture, providing a complementary flash and contrast to the oval mixed cut, and they have been matched for color and clarity to ensure clean, high white contrast against the warm 18K yellow gold mounting. The diamonds sit as near shoulder stones in a precision setting that aligns their base planes with the sapphire girdle for consistent symmetry and light interaction. The completed mounting employs secure prong seating for the primary sapphire, together with discrete settings for the trillions, maintaining a low to medium profile that allows the stones to receive ample light from the gallery while preserving a practical silhouette for everyday wear.

The armature and finish are executed in 18K yellow gold, selected to enhance the purplish blue sapphire by providing a warm complementary field that increases perceived saturation and depth without overpowering the gem. The band shows a refined taper from shoulder to shank, engineered to balance proportional stability beneath the head while maintaining comfortable weight distribution on the finger, and all exposed metal surfaces are highly polished to exacting standards to match the gem polish grades and to create a seamless transition from metal to stone. The gallery exhibits an open structural design with supportive struts that secure the head while allowing unobstructed light passage to the pavilion facets, an important element in preserving the optical performance of both the sapphire and the side diamonds. The result is a ring that demonstrates considered gemological choices and meticulous goldsmithing procedures, combining technical clarity with structural integrity.

This piece represents an ideal gift for a significant life event, whether presented as an engagement ring, a milestone anniversary token, or a celebration of a major personal achievement, because it unites documented gem authenticity, untreated origin, and precise cutting and setting that will withstand daily wear and remain visually relevant across changing styles. The combination of a natural Ceylon sapphire with medium intense purplish blue saturation, very slightly included clarity at eye level, and E color VS clarity trillions produces a classic yet technically sophisticated palette that reads as both elegant and enduring. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize provenance and lapidary quality, and this ring exemplifies that approach by offering an untreated Sri Lankan sapphire with excellent polish, a balanced mixed brilliant faceting scheme, and well matched side diamonds, all set in solid 18K yellow gold, making it a technically sound and emotionally resonant choice for commemorating life changing moments.
