Accent Stones Purplish Pink Sapphire Ring 3.00 Ct., 14K Yellow & White

From the moment a rough crystal is born deep within the ancient rock strata of Sri Lanka, its story begins, and this purplish pink sapphire carries that story with uncommon clarity. Formed over millions of years in pegmatite pockets and alluvial riverbeds, Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their lively tone and brilliant transparency, and this stone exemplifies that legacy. GIA certified, this sapphire weighs 3.00 carats, it is cushion shaped and measures 8.06 x 7.97 x 5.01 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that was chosen to maximize both fire and the unique purplish pink hue. Its color shows intense saturation, a lively balance between warm pink and cool violet undertones that is so characteristic of fine Ceylon material, and it is untreated, with no enhancement, which makes it especially desirable to collectors and lovers of natural gemstones. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a mark of natural authenticity that gives the stone personality while preserving the visual purity that allows light to travel and reflect with remarkable brilliance, and the polish is excellent, revealing facets that glow from every angle.

The journey from rough to a finished ring is a conversation between the cutter and the gem, and in this case the cutter honored the stone by adopting a mixed brilliant cut to heighten its scintillation. The careful faceting respects the sapphire’s internal structure, embracing small inclusions as proof of origin rather than masking them, and the result is a gem that seems to breathe color when it catches light. Around this centerpiece, a delicate trio of white round natural diamonds was placed to echo and elevate the sapphire’s presence, with a total weight of approximately 0.12 carats, clarity grades of Very Slightly Included in the VS1 and VS2 range, and a color grade of F, chosen for their crisp white contrast. The ring’s mount is a considered pairing of metals, with 14K yellow gold prongs embracing the warm pink tones of the sapphire, and a 14K white gold band that frames the diamonds and provides a luminous setting that reads modern and timeless at once. This two tone approach is both aesthetic and protective, the yellow gold prongs add warmth and secure the gem, while the white gold shell keeps the design clean and contemporary.

Beyond geology and craft, there is a cultural thread that links this gem to centuries of reverence for Ceylon sapphires, stones that have adorned royal regalia and inspired travel and trade across oceans. Sri Lanka has long been a source of extraordinary sapphires, and miners and lapidaries there bring generations of skill to every phase of the gem’s life, from the patient sorting of rough to the precise cutting that awakens color. When you choose a Ceylon sapphire, you are choosing a connection to that place, to its river valleys and monsoon rains, to traditions of gem cutting that have been passed down and refined over time. This particular purplish pink sapphire is rare in its untreated state, and its hue carries the poetic intimacy of a dawn sky, a quality that often resonates with emotional milestones, engagement, anniversaries, and moments meant to be kept and passed on. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are deeply committed to sourcing with integrity, we work directly with trusted partners in Sri Lanka to ensure traceability, fair practices, and respect for the artisans who transform rough stone into something to be cherished.

Wearing this ring is to carry that layered story on your hand, to have a gem that responds to your movement with a lively, complex glow, and to own something that is simultaneously modern in its cut and classical in its provenance. The sapphire’s excellent polish and the thoughtful setting in both yellow and white 14K gold mean that it sits confidently and comfortably, with diamonds that catch light to frame the center without overwhelming it. For care, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will preserve the lustre, and regular inspections will keep the prongs secure so the stone continues to travel with you safely.
