Pave Purplish Blue Sapphire Ring 2.55 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.55 carat radiant shape purplish blue sapphire, a stone whose weight and dimensions of 8.61 by 7.47 by 4.38 millimeters create a commanding presence without overpowering the finger. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire exhibits a medium intense color saturation that balances vivid hue with a pleasing degree of lightness, making the purplish blue tone both lively and wearable. The stone has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, a clarity designation that affirms the gem reads as clean to the unaided eye while retaining the natural character collectors appreciate. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and widely accepted enhancement in the trade, employed to stabilize and optimize color, and it benefits from an excellent polish that sharpens facet junctions and contributes to crisp light return. As presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem reflects a careful selection strategy that emphasizes natural origin, transparent body color, and classical proportions to appeal to informed buyers seeking both aesthetic and geological provenance.

The radiant cut of this sapphire is the primary reason the gem performs so impressively in light, and the cutting design has been executed to maximize reflection and internal scintillation. Radiant proportions typically combine the straight outline and trimmed corners of step cuts with the multiple facet architecture of brilliant cuts, and here those attributes work together to concentrate and return light through the table and crown. The measured depth of 4.38 millimeters gives the stone a depth profile of approximately 54.5 percent when compared to its average girdle span, a proportion that supports strong light return without sacrificing face up size. Facet geometry and polish quality are critical, and the excellent polish on this sapphire ensures that each facet acts as an efficient mirror, while the strategic placement and angles of the pavilion facets create numerous internal reflections that translate into lively scintillation. Because sapphires are colored stones, the radiant design also plays a role in color presentation, distributing flashes of lighter and darker tone across the table and pavilion, which enhances perceived saturation without creating an overly dark appearance. The result is a gem that combines sparkle with a clear and resonant purplish blue body color, an outcome that educated buyers recognize as the hallmark of a well cut and thoughtfully finished sapphire.

The mounting complements the center stone with carefully matched white round natural diamonds, arranged to underline the sapphire while preserving optical focus on the colored center. The side and accent diamonds weigh approximately 0.27 carats, 0.12 carats, and 0.04 carats individually, with a combined total near 0.43 carats, and each is graded clarity VS with a color range of F and G, offering bright, smoky free contrast that visually lifts the sapphire. Set in 18K white gold, the mounting provides both a reflective backdrop to reinforce the sapphire s cool undertone and the durability required for everyday wear. The pavé and side setting style present continuous brightness along the shoulders of the band, and the open gallery below the sapphire allows light to enter from multiple angles, increasing the gem s brilliance and fire. From a technical perspective, the combination of a well proportioned radiant cut sapphire, superior polish, medium intense color saturation, and high quality white diamonds in a secure 18K white gold setting creates a ring that is both visually arresting and structurally sound. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparent information about origin, treatments, and grading, because educated buyers appreciate the link between documented quality and long term value, and this ring exemplifies that approach by marrying exceptional cutting to responsible material selection.
