Antique Style Violet Sapphire Ring 2.57 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company centers on a remarkable, transparent 2.57 carat oval violet sapphire, measuring 9.05 by 7.20 by 4.83 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize return of light and color, with a clarity described as very very slightly included when examined at eye level, a medium intense color saturation that reads as vibrant yet natural, and an excellent polish that gives the gem a lively, enduring finish, the stone originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka and arrives to you with no enhancement, an increasingly rare attribute in a market where heat treated and otherwise enhanced sapphires dominate, this unenhanced Ceylon sapphire therefore represents both a purer expression of nature and a superior long term value versus commonly available treated alternatives, in everyday terms the sapphire’s high hardness and the precision of its mixed brilliant cut mean it resists surface wear and maintains sparkle through the routine knocks and rubs of daily life, compared with softer gems like amethyst or topaz this sapphire will hold its polish and resist scratching far better, and compared with lower clarity or heavily treated stones the eye clean appearance and natural color of this gem delivers a depth and authenticity that remains striking even under casual daily lighting.

Surrounding and accenting the center sapphire are white round natural diamonds arranged to enhance brilliance and to protect the main gem visually and structurally, the larger accent group totals approximately 0.357 carats and the smaller accents total approximately 0.054 carats for a combined diamond weight of about 0.411 carats, each diamond is graded Very Slightly Included in clarity in VS1 and VS2 grades and in F color for a clean white appearance without warmth, these diamonds provide crisp scintillation around the sapphire which elevates perceived size and light performance without compromising durability, diamonds at VS clarity and F color represent an excellent balance of beauty and value when compared with mass market pieces that often use lower color grades or lower clarity material, in addition the excellent polish on both the sapphire and diamonds ensures smooth facets that sit well in the mounting and shed dirt more readily, the result is a design that sparkles day to day and that retains its visual impact when compared with fashion jewelry that uses plated settings or simulated stones which can dull and wear quickly.

The entire ring is crafted in platinum 950 a metal that is notably dense durable and hypoallergenic and therefore ideal for daily wear, platinum 950 offers greater resistance to wear and metal loss than many gold alloys and it retains prongs and settings better over time which reduces the risk of stones becoming loose, unlike white gold that depends on rhodium plating to maintain a bright white surface platinum will not lose color through plating and therefore maintains the ring’s aesthetic with less frequent reworking, when combined with the inherent toughness of sapphire and diamond the platinum setting creates a piece that stands up to continuous wear without compromising the refined silhouette and delicate detailing of the mounting, The Natural Sapphire Company applies careful finishing and precise stone setting to ensure secure prongs and tight pavé work where used, compared with cheaper alternatives this ring is an investment in materials and workmanship that pays practical dividends through lower maintenance and higher retained beauty, routine gentle cleaning and periodic professional checks will keep the piece performing for decades, for those choosing a ring that offers authentic natural color stable materials and enduring construction this sapphire and diamond platinum ring represents a clear step above typical market offerings, if you seek a daily wear piece that pairs rarity with reliability The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to guide you through the details and care to make this exceptional ring a lasting part of your collection.
