Pave Purplish Blue Sapphire Ring 3.36 Ct., Platinum 950

There are jewels, and then there are jewels that carry the story of a place, a history, and a lineage of craftsmanship, and this ring is the latter. At its heart sits a transparent 3.36 carat radiant shape purplish blue sapphire, sourced from the legendary gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Measuring 8.12 by 7.33 by 5.77 millimeters, this sapphire was chosen not only for its size but for a chromatic presence that speaks to centuries of admiration for Ceylon sapphires. The radiant cut enhances the stone with a modern, architectural brilliance while preserving the classic depth of color that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Heat treated according to established gemological practice, the stone reveals an intense color saturation and an excellent polish, qualities that ensure its face up appearance is both lively and deeply resonant, and that reward the discerning eye with flashes of lively purplish blue that are hard to find in such purity.

The provenance of this sapphire is central to its appeal, and it is the reason this piece belongs in a very particular wardrobe of rare objects. Ceylon, Sri Lanka, has produced some of the most celebrated sapphires in history, known for a luminous, velvety blue tone with a hint of violet that can be at once regal and contemporary. Owning a Ceylon sapphire means carrying a connection to ancient trade routes, to master cutters who learned their craft near the very mines where rough stones were first uncovered, and to a tradition of gems favored by royalty and collectors around the world. At The Natural Sapphire Company we carefully document origin when it enhances the story and the value of the stone, and this sapphire’s Ceylon origins elevate it from a beautiful gem to a storied treasure, one that is both geographically and culturally specific, and therefore inherently scarce.

Surrounding the central sapphire is a halo and split shank arrangement of white round natural diamonds, selected for their harmony with the central color and their ability to frame the stone without overwhelming it. The ring features approximately 0.594 carats of round white diamonds with clarity rated VS and color graded F and G, complemented by an additional set of round white diamonds weighing approximately 0.378 carats, also clarity VS and color graded F and G. Together these diamonds yield a total accent weight that balances the center sapphire and draws the eye inward to its radiant geometry. Each accent diamond is hand set in 18 karat white gold, chosen for its ability to enhance the cooler tones of both the diamonds and the sapphire, and to provide a luminous, enduring backdrop that will not detract from the gem’s natural color. The precise polish and symmetry of the setting ensures that light flows freely, returning a bright, scintillating face up appearance that makes the center stone appear even more vivid.

This ring is offered as part of an exclusive selection by The Natural Sapphire Company, and it is intended for someone who understands that true rarity is not merely a matter of carat weight, but of provenance, character, and the quiet confidence of a piece that need not shout to be noticed. The combination of a Ceylon origin sapphire, a tasteful yet purposeful diamond halo, and meticulous setting in 18 karat white gold results in a ring that is both collectible and wearable. Because stones of this description and origin are rare, opportunities to acquire such a combination are limited, and ownership signifies membership in an elite circle of collectors who appreciate the stories behind their gems. If you seek a ring that is simultaneously timeless and singular, one that will be admired for generations and passed down with a documented history, this offering stands apart, ready to become the next chapter in your own distinctive legacy.
