Vedic Purplish Pink Sapphire Ring 1.29 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.29 carat pear shape purplish pink sapphire, with exact dimensions of 8.52 x 5.74 x 3.89 mm, cut as a mixed brilliant to balance brilliance and color depth. The mixed brilliant style combines a brilliant faceted crown with a more angular pavilion arrangement, the result being strong return of light through the table while preserving saturation towards the pavilion. The cutter has clearly optimized table size and crown facet break to maximize the intense color saturation that is intrinsic to this stone, while maintaining an excellent polish on every facet junction, which reduces light leakage and enhances face up brightness. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, these modest inclusions lie beneath the crown and do not disrupt the optical performance of the gem, they are consistent with natural sapphires from primary metamorphic sources and contribute to the stone integrity without visible impact on sparkle. No enhancement has been applied, the stone is presented in its natural state, which for knowledgeable buyers is an important consideration, natural color without heat or diffusion preserves the original crystal lattice and the authentic way the gem interacts with light.

The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon in Sri Lanka, a provenance that has significant influence on both the aesthetic qualities and the valuation of the stone. Ceylon sapphires are notable for their clarity profile and a tendency to produce lively, saturated hues at lighter tone levels, a characteristic that allows purplish pink material to read as vivid and lively rather than muted or brownish. Geologically, Sri Lankan sapphires form in high grade metamorphic environments where trace chromium and iron occur in concentrations that generate a range of pink through purplish pink hues, and the crystal habit from these deposits often allows for well formed pear shapes with clean pavilion angles. The combination of intense saturation and transparent clarity in this specimen is a hallmark of fine Sri Lankan material, and the lack of enhancement confirms that the color originated during formation rather than by post extraction treatment. Collectors and connoisseurs familiar with Ceylon sapphires will recognize the way this stone balances tone and saturation, producing a color that is both lively on the table and deep in the pavilion, which is an effect that cutters from The Natural Sapphire Company specifically seek to preserve when designing a setting.

The mounting is executed in 14K yellow gold, a metal choice that interacts sympathetically with the pink violet range to warm the perceived hue and to create a classic, elegant presentation. The ring is finished with a slim, round band and a precision prong setting that elevates the pear shape slightly from the gallery, allowing light to enter the pavilion and to accentuate the mixed brilliant faceting. The prong geometry is minimal but structurally sound, placed to secure the girdle without obscuring the stone outline, and the gallery is engineered to support the pavilion while maintaining airflow and light return. The goldwork shows careful attention to surface finish, with mirror polish on exposed surfaces and crisp junctions where prongs meet the shank, a level of craftsmanship that complements the excellent polish of the sapphire itself. For the technically minded buyer, the combination of a conservative pavilion depth in a pear outline, a balanced crown to table proportion, and a low profile but open setting results in optimal face up color without sacrificing brilliance or security.

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company is designed for customers who appreciate provenance, gemological transparency, and precise lapidary and jewelry craft. The stone specifications, including the 1.29 carat weight, pear dimensions, mixed brilliant cut, very slightly included clarity as evaluated at eye level, intense color saturation, excellent polish, and the clear statement of no enhancement, are all factors that the informed buyer will use to assess rarity and desirability. The Sri Lankan origin provides both a technical rationale for the observed optical properties and an historical context that increases the gem narrative, making this piece suitable for collectors, gem enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a natural, vividly colored sapphire set in warm yellow gold.
