Antique Style Yellow Sapphire Ring 6.39 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 6.39 carat cushion shape yellow sapphire originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The sapphire measures 10.38 by 9.62 by 6.41 mm, and it is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and color dispersion. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the stone displays faint color saturation that reads as a refined pale yellow in daylight and incandescent lighting. The sapphire has not undergone any enhancement, and it is presented with an excellent polish that maximizes surface luster and optical performance. These measured and observed attributes combine to produce a substantial central gem that is both visually prominent and technically detailed, suitable for a design that emphasizes proportion, symmetry, and the inherent character of an unenhanced Ceylon sapphire.

The mounting incorporates a selection of natural white diamonds in both baguette and round cuts to complement the sapphire without overpowering it. Two groups of white baguette shaped diamonds are positioned as structural and directional accents, weighing approximately 0.36 carats and 0.16 carats respectively, each with clarity grades in the very slightly included range of VS1 and VS2 and a color grade of E. Additional white round shaped diamonds are integrated to provide halo and shoulder brilliance, with two groupings weighing approximately 0.36 carats and 0.36 carats, each graded VS for clarity and F to G for color. The diamonds have been chosen to provide a high degree of white brightness, even near colorless appearance, and balanced clarity that maintains consistent sparkle across the setting. All stones are securely set and proportioned to complement the cushion shape center, while the choice of platinum 950 for the mounting provides a durable, naturally white metal that supports precise, long lasting settings and resists color diffusion into the diamonds and sapphire.

The Natural Sapphire Company sources and presents this piece with attention to ethical mining practices and traceability. The central sapphire has been acquired through established supply channels in Sri Lanka that prioritize responsible extraction, including adherence to local regulatory standards, support for fair labor, and efforts to minimize environmental impact at point of origin. Sourcing practices emphasize transparency, conflict free procurement, and direct partnerships with miners and local communities to encourage rehabilitation of mined areas and to promote community investment where feasible. Gemstone selection includes full disclosure of treatment status, and this sapphire is explicitly presented as unenhanced to ensure clarity for clients regarding origin and processing. The mounting and diamonds are selected from reliably sourced inventories that uphold comparable ethical expectations, and certification documentation is available to verify the gem and metal specifications.

The design and finishing reflect measured craftsmanship alongside clear material specifications. The ring is fully fabricated in platinum 950, chosen for its strength and resistance to wear, with precision settings that secure each diamond and the central sapphire while allowing light to interact with the facets. Polishing and finishing have been executed to an excellent standard to present clean facet junctions and consistent surface reflectivity. For care, periodic professional inspection is recommended to verify prong security and overall condition, and routine cleaning with a soft brush and mild detergent will maintain visual performance. The Natural Sapphire Company provides detailed information on provenance, grading, and care to support informed ownership, and the combination of an unenhanced Ceylon sapphire, high quality white diamonds, and a platinum 950 mounting creates a technically considered, ethically sourced piece that emphasizes material authenticity and enduring craftsmanship.
