Pave White Sapphire Ring 2.62 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.62 carat asscher octagon shape white sapphire, presenting dimensions of 7.37 by 7.31 by 5.02 millimeters, and executed in a classic asscher cut, producing a broad table and characteristic step facets that emphasize clarity and depth. The sapphire is graded as eye clean at eye level, with colorless saturation and an excellent polish, attributes that combine to deliver a crisp, refined appearance and balanced light performance. The stone has undergone heat treatment, a standard and stable enhancement that improves color and clarity without altering the fundamental nature of the gem, and the sapphire is sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region renowned for high quality sapphires and respected gemological provenance. The asscher octagon profile offers a strong, geometric presence on the finger, and the measured proportions yield a substantial face up size that reads larger than the carat weight alone would suggest, while the step cut provides broad flashes and a precise, architectural sparkle that is particularly striking in white sapphires.

Complementary white round natural diamonds are set along the shoulders of the band, with a combined weight of approximately 0.45 carats, clarity graded VS and color graded F G, creating bright, near colorless accents that support the center sapphire without competing with it. The diamonds are precisely matched for color and clarity, and they are set in a tight, even pattern that maintains the overall visual balance of the ring, helping to extend the optical line of the center stone and to enhance its perceived brilliance. The center sapphire is secured in a structured prong setting, designed to allow unobstructed light entry to the pavilion and to offer reliable mechanical security, while the diamond shoulders are installed with consistent spacing and alignment to ensure longevity of the setting and to reduce the risk of stone loss during regular wear. The overall setting strategy prioritizes both optical performance and secure placement of each stone.

The ring is entirely fabricated in 14K white gold, a metal choice that provides an optimal balance between precious metal content and durability for everyday wear. Fourteen karat white gold contains a higher proportion of alloyed metals compared with higher karat golds, resulting in enhanced hardness and resistance to scratches and deformation during routine activities, while still maintaining the warm weight and intrinsic value of gold. For a wearer seeking a piece intended for long term, consistent use, 14K white gold offers greater structural resilience and a reduced likelihood of bending or denting compared with softer gold grades. The surface is finished with a precise polish that emphasizes the white metal tone and supports the diamonds optical performance, and the construction includes reinforced shoulders and a well proportioned gallery to distribute stress away from individual stones. Routine professional maintenance, such as inspection of prongs and occasional re polishing or rhodium restoration if desired, will preserve the finish and structural integrity for many years of wear.

This design is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, with attention to gemological detail, documented origin, and stable enhancement disclosure. The combination of a well proportioned asscher octagon white sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, matched round diamonds in F G color and VS clarity, and a 14K white gold setting creates a ring that balances refined aesthetic presence with practical durability. The heat treatment of the sapphire is a commonly accepted enhancement, and the piece is intended to deliver consistent performance in clarity and color over time, with the metal choice supporting day to day wear.
