Solitaire Yellow Sapphire Ring 1.66 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.66 carat cushion shaped yellow sapphire, measuring 7.58 x 5.98 x 4.45 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fire and brilliance, with intense color saturation and an excellent polish. The stone is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, offering visible character under magnification while maintaining visual clarity to the unaided eye. The sapphire originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and has undergone standard heat treatment to improve tone and clarity, a stable and widely accepted enhancement for sapphires. The gem is securely set in a classic four prong solitaire mounting, fully crafted in 14K yellow gold, with refined gallery work and a gently rounded band to complement the cushion profile and warm hue of the sapphire, resulting in a restrained and timeless silhouette.

As an engagement or wedding piece the ring combines durable materiality with considered aesthetics, making it suitable for everyday wear and symbolic of enduring commitment. The sapphire, a member of the corundum family with hardness second only to diamond, provides long term resistance to abrasion, while the 14K yellow gold setting offers a warm, integrated palette that emphasizes the gem color. The design favors clean lines and balanced proportions, allowing the cushion shape and mixed brilliant faceting to remain the visual focus, while the slightly included clarity and natural origin speak to the authenticity and individuality of the stone. This ring represents a deliberate alternative to traditional diamond engagement rings, presenting a vivid, personal expression of partnership that will mature gracefully over time. The Natural Sapphire Company documents and sources each stone with care, and this ring reflects that same commitment to transparency, gemological integrity, and precise workmanship, offering a distinctive and lasting choice for marking an engagement or wedding.
