Three Stone Purplish Pink Sapphire Ring 2.68 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.68 carat cushion shape purplish pink sapphire, dimensions 8.83 x 7.25 x 4.57 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant pavilion and crown geometry that balances color saturation and light return, clarity evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, with intense color saturation and an excellent polish. The mixed brilliant cut is calibrated to emphasize both scintillation and color depth, using a broad table and well proportioned crown facets to admit light into the pavilion where a complementary arrangement of brilliant style facets fragments returns into a vivid face up presentation. The corundum structure of sapphire with its refractive index in the range typically associated with strong internal reflection aids the stone in converting incident light into lively flashes, while a careful cutting profile and excellent polish reduce light leakage and maximize internal sparkle. Heat treatment is disclosed, applied to stabilize and intensify the purplish pink hue without compromising natural crystal integrity, and the stone is sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing sapphires with lively saturation and attractive tone nuances.

The mounting and finishing are executed in 14K yellow gold, chosen for its warm tonal contrast with purplish pink and for its durable workability during precision setting, the shank and gallery being hand finished to create smooth, even surfaces that reflect light into the gemstone assembly and support optical performance. The center cushion sapphire is seated in a fine claw prong setting that secures the stone while allowing maximum exposure of the pavilion and girdle, enabling light to enter from multiple angles and promoting depth and brilliance. The mixed brilliant faceting scheme interacts with the metal proportions and prong geometry so that crown facet reflections are framed by the yellow gold, creating a color halo effect that enhances perceived saturation and adds visual warmth. Craftsmanship attention points include exacting symmetry of the pavilion facets, tight facet junctions, and an even girdle thickness, all of which are essential to consistent light behavior and long term wear performance in a piece intended for everyday symbolism.

Flanking the central sapphire are natural white half moon diamonds, weighing approximately 0.30 carats total, graded clarity Very Slightly Included, in the VS1 and VS2 range, with a color grade of F. The half moon shape is selected for its ability to complement an ovalized cushion silhouette, providing a seamless transition from the center stone into the shoulders of the ring while contributing targeted white light return that offsets the sapphire tone. Each half moon diamond is matched for size, face up brilliance, and pavilion depth so that the duo presents balanced flash and consistent white light, minimizing chromatic contrast that could distract from the sapphire. The diamonds are cut to maintain proportionate facet angles relative to the sapphire crown, and their high polish preserves crisp facet junctions and bright reflections. Together the diamond and sapphire assemblies demonstrate a considered approach to optical pairing, in which secondary stones are not merely accent pieces but active elements in the overall light dynamics and color balance of the ring.

Beyond the technical specifications, the optical behavior of this ring is intentionally connected to the concept of enduring love, the brilliance and stability of the sapphire symbolizing constancy and deep emotional resonance. The mixed brilliant cutting strategy increases scintillation during movement, producing lively flashes that resemble moments of joy and memory, while the consistent color saturation serves as a visual anchor, a persistent hue that parallels the steady presence of commitment. The half moon diamonds act as twin beacons, their white brilliance framing the central hue and reinforcing ideas of unity and mutual support, and the 14K yellow gold setting provides a warm, resilient environment that will age gracefully with wear. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the selection and setting of this combination, reflecting a philosophy that excellence in cutting, grading, and finishing translates directly into a meaningful emblem. For buyers who prioritize technical integrity alongside symbolism, this ring communicates eternal intent through measurable attributes of cut, clarity, color, and craftsmanship.
