Antique Style White Sapphire Ring 1.38 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring showcases a beautifully transparent white sapphire weighing 1.38 carat, with precise dimensions of 6.92 x 6.92 x 3.92 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that is designed to maximize both scintillation and depth. The mixed brilliant geometry combines a brilliant style crown with carefully proportioned pavilion facets to deliver lively white light return while preserving face up size and presence. The stone is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, a clarity grade that indicates the sapphire appears essentially eye clean to most observers, while under magnification small natural inclusions confirm its natural origin. Colorless color saturation and an excellent polish contribute to crisp facet junctions and bright, even reflections, while the heat treatment used is a well understood and stable enhancement in the trade that optimizes clarity and hue without compromising structural integrity. Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds a layer of provenance that educated buyers appreciate, since Ceylon sapphires are known for their clean crystalline structure and consistent optic performance. The combination of these gemological attributes means the stone offers superb optical performance and durability, sapphire ranking nine on the Mohs scale making it an excellent choice for daily wear pieces such as engagement rings.

The mounting is fully executed in 18K yellow gold, the warm metal tone providing an elegant contrast to the stone and enhancing perceived brilliance by reflecting warm light back through the pavilion. The band displays intricate hand engraved motifing and delicate gallery work that demonstrate a high degree of bench skill, precise symmetry, and consistent surface finishing. Prong architecture holds the gem securely while allowing maximum light to enter the stone from multiple angles, and the excellent polish throughout the visible surfaces ensures comfort against the skin and longevity of finish. In terms of craftsmanship the piece is made with attention to proportion and finishing that echoes the standards seen in notable luxury ateliers. The fine hand engraving and subtle milgrain like detailing recall the refined handiwork of houses known for classic engagement settings, while the exacting attention to facet alignment and final polish reflects the measurement driven approach of leading gem cutters and setters. This ring demonstrates the same combination of artisanal skill and technical control that sophisticated buyers associate with established luxury makers, while retaining the unique character of a specialist gem house offering.

For the discerning buyer the ring represents both a smart gemological choice and a finely executed object of wearable art. White sapphire offers many of the optical and durability advantages of colorless stones, with a distinct chemical identity and price profile that makes it an appealing alternative to other clear gemstones. The documented origin in Ceylon and the transparent disclosure of the heat treatment align with best practice in the gem trade, supporting long term value and buyer confidence. The Natural Sapphire Company applies experienced gemological oversight to each stone and assembling process, ensuring accurate grading and careful mounting that preserves the sapphires performance. Given its excellent polish, eye clean clarity, and skillful gold setting, this ring will hold its appearance under daily wear and will patinate with character over time in the warm tone of eighteen karat yellow gold. Prospective owners who value provenance, measurable gem quality, and meticulous hand finishing will find this ring an investment in material quality and craftsmanship that stands alongside pieces from high end maisons, while offering the transparent gemological detail and specialist knowledge that serious collectors and educated buyers require.
