Floral White Sapphire Ring 1.55 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a transparent 1.55 carat round white sapphire, precisely measured at 6.18 by 6.28 by 5.25 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant proportion that maximizes scintillation and optical performance. The sapphire is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, offering an exceptional balance between transparency and natural character. The stone displays a colorless saturation and an excellent polish, and it is offered in its natural state with no enhancement. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire combines measurable specifications with traceable origin, making it an exemplary choice for those seeking both documented quality and classical gemstone aesthetics.

The gem is securely set in a refined 18 karat white gold mounting, the entire ring crafted from 18K white gold for a consistent finish and cohesive appearance. The mixed brilliant cut of the center sapphire produces a lively play of light that is complemented by the cool, reflective surface of the white gold. The setting has been designed to present the sapphire prominently while maintaining protection for the girdle and pavilion, the proportions and polish of the mounting chosen to reduce exposure to knocks and abrasion during normal wear. The overall profile balances elevation for light return with a streamlined silhouette to minimize snagging, allowing daily wear without compromising the stone s visibility or structural security.

Durability has been a central consideration in the selection of both gem and precious metal. Sapphire is a corundum, registering a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond in natural gem hardness, and is highly resistant to scratching and abrasion in everyday contact. The 18K white gold alloy, composed of 75 percent pure gold combined with durable white metals, provides a robust and resilient setting that withstands routine impacts and pressure more comfortably than higher purity gold alloys, while retaining a substantial gold content for long term stability and value. For continued durability and appearance, periodic inspection of the prongs and shoulders is recommended to ensure the setting remains secure, and occasional professional polishing or re rhodium plating will restore the white gold s surface should light scratches accumulate over years of daily wear.

Care for this ring is straightforward, reflecting its suitability for regular use. Routine cleaning with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush will maintain the brilliance of the sapphire and the reflective finish of the white gold, and because this sapphire is free from enhancements, more aggressive cleaning methods, including ultrasonic cleaning, are generally acceptable, subject to professional confirmation for individual pieces. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and remove the ring for heavy manual tasks to reduce the risk of impact to the setting. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the documented origin, cut, and clarity of this piece, and offers guidance on maintenance and inspection to ensure lasting enjoyment. This ring combines the innate toughness of Ceylon sapphire with a carefully engineered 18K white gold setting, providing a durable, elegant solution for everyday wear.
