Antique Style Violet Sapphire Ring 2.48 Ct., 18K Rose Gold

This ring centers on a beautifully transparent 2.48 carat oval violet sapphire, measuring 8.73 x 6.56 x 4.88 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and delivers a lively face up presence. The stone is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with medium light color saturation and an excellent polish, attributes that set it apart from the more common heavily included or poorly polished sapphires offered elsewhere. Heat treated to enhance color stability, and sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire combines the desirable floral violet hue that is less common than typical blue sapphires with the clarity and cut that give it exceptional spread of light for its size. Compared to mass market sapphires that rely on weight over quality, this gem offers superior optical performance, and compared to many lab grown or low grade natural stones, it retains the natural origin story and subtle natural inclusions that experienced collectors value for character and resale appeal.

Entirely set in 14K rose gold, the setting uses a delicate yet secure four prong mount with a raised gallery and hand engraved band that evokes the filigree and milgrain detail of classic period jewelry. The open under gallery and airy shoulders recall the lacework of Edwardian and Victorian era pieces, while the refined prongs and balanced proportions bring to mind the graceful solitaire silhouettes of early 20th century masters, offering a vintage inspired look with modern durability. Against the warm pink tones of rose gold, the violet sapphire reads cooler and more luminous than in white metals, creating a sophisticated contrast that many comparable rings on the market lack. At The Natural Sapphire Company we craft settings that respect the gem rather than overpower it, delivering a ring that is both an heirloom in appearance and practical for everyday wear, a superior value for buyers seeking a rare violet sapphire with thoughtful design and enduring quality.
