Three Stone Yellow Sapphire Ring 2.24 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring from The Natural Sapphire Company celebrates a long lineage of gemstone elegance, pairing a classic emerald cut yellow sapphire with refined half moon diamonds and warm 14K yellow gold. The centerpiece is a transparent 2.24 carat emerald cut yellow sapphire, measuring 7.86 x 6.93 x 4.49 mm, originating from historic Ceylon in Sri Lanka. The stone is eye clean at normal viewing distances, with medium light color saturation and an excellent polish, and has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement used for centuries to awaken color and clarity. The emerald cut itself carries a heritage of restraint and refinement, its step facets producing architectural lines and a hall of mirrors effect that reveals the depth and purity of the sapphire’s pale citron hue. Where many modern cuts chase relentless scintillation, this emerald cut offers broad, dramatic flashes and a serene, crystalline glow that highlights the gem’s natural color and compositional history, making it ideal for collectors and romantics who value legacy and timeless form.

The side stones are white half moon shaped lab grown diamonds weighing approximately 0.60 carats, graded VS1 and VS2 for clarity, and F for color, set to flank the center sapphire and accentuate its soft luminosity. Compared to brilliant round cuts, which maximize small pointed flashes and lively scintillation, the emerald cut yellow sapphire presents longer flashes and more controlled light return, emphasizing color over sparkle, while cushion and radiant cuts sit between these extremes by blending brilliant facets with some step cutting to increase fire. Oval and pear shapes elongate and can intensify perceived size and brightness, but they do not deliver the same calm, classical symmetry and clarity display as the emerald cut. The half moon diamonds bring contrast, their high color and clarity providing bright, lively fire that frames the sapphire and lifts its tone when set in warm 14K yellow gold. The result is a design that reads like a heirloom, a piece that honors the gem cutting traditions of the past while using responsibly sourced lab grown diamonds and superb craftsmanship from The Natural Sapphire Company, creating a ring that will endure in style and story for generations.
