Antique Style Reddish Pink Sapphire Ring 2.39 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the ancient mines of Ceylon comes a gemstone with a lineage that stretches back through the centuries, a 2.39 carat oval reddish pink sapphire that captures both history and heart. This stone, measured at 9.30 x 7.40 x 4.40 mm, is cut in a mixed brilliant style that modernizes the classic oval shape while preserving the soft, timeless silhouette favored by generations. The color is vivid and saturated, a rare and compelling pink that reads warm and lively in sunlight, and it is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which allows the gem to reveal its internal fire without distraction. The excellent polish enhances its surface brilliance, and the careful heat treatment applied is a traditional and widely accepted method that intensifies the stone without compromising its integrity. As with the treasured sapphires of old, this gem carries the sense of a legacy piece, a jewel that feels at home in both historical portraits and contemporary collections.

Surrounding the central sapphire is a halo of white round lab grown diamonds, weighing approximately 0.84 carats in total, chosen for their crisp F color and their very slightly included clarity grades of VS1 and VS2, which provide bright white contrast and scintillation without overwhelming the center stone. Each diamond is precisely set in 18K yellow gold, a metal whose warm tone complements the reddish pink heart of the sapphire and recalls classical jewelrymaking traditions. The halo design amplifies the presence of the center gem, creating a floral or starburst effect that is elegant and refined, while the individually mounted stones are held with secure prongs that marry beauty with stability. The gallery work beneath the crown is open enough to allow light to enter and return through the sapphire, yet structured to protect the pavilion from daily bumps, balancing the lustrous display with thoughtful durability.

The ring has been conceived to balance elegance with functionality in every detail, so that the wearer enjoys both stylistic grace and practical comfort. The band is shaped to sit naturally on the finger, offering a comfortable fit that does not sacrifice formality. The prong settings for both the sapphire and the surrounding diamonds are engineered to hold the gems firmly, minimizing movement while allowing the stones to breathe and sparkle. The 18K yellow gold proves resilient to everyday life, and the slightly raised halo elevates the sapphire for visual impact without creating an excessive profile that could catch on clothing. This harmony of design elements means the ring serves as a daily adornment as much as it does a shining statement for special occasions. Every aspect of the piece reflects the kind of considered craftsmanship that collectors and those seeking an enduring symbol of affection will appreciate.
