Antique Style Yellow Sapphire Ring 2.42 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

When you are searching for a ring that ends your pursuit of beauty and meaning, this piece answers that need with clarity and conviction, the ideal choice whether you are planning an engagement, marking a milestone, or adding a rare treasure to a collection. At its heart sits a transparent, two point four two carat yellow sapphire, cut into a classic emerald shape and measuring eight point five eight by five point five four by four point eight seven millimeters, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. This sapphire displays a light color saturation that reads as fresh and luminous against warm gold, a very very slightly included clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that speaks to the gem cutter’s skill. Because this stone has received no enhancement, what you see is the natural character of the sapphire, a clean, honest beauty that will age gracefully and remain a source of pride for decades. From the first glance you will recognize the thoughtful balance between size and proportion that makes the gem wearable every day, while still making a statement when you want it to shine.

The emerald cut is central to how this sapphire communicates light, and the cutting style here has been optimized to maximize internal reflection and refined brilliance. Unlike brilliant cuts that scatter light in many directions, the emerald cut employs broad, linear facets that create a dramatic hall of mirrors effect, a depth of light that appears to move as the ring turns. The large table of this emerald cut acts as a window into the gem, allowing the eye to appreciate both the delicate yellow hue and the internal clarity, while the step facets on the crown and pavilion channel light into distinct flashes and reflective planes. With excellent polish enhancing each facet edge and a transparent, minimally included stone, light enters through the table, reflects along the facet steps, and returns in bold flashes that make the color glow from within. For buyers who want a gem that feels alive under changing light, whose sparkle is refined and architectural rather than scattered, this emerald cut yellow sapphire delivers that sophisticated brilliance.

Surrounding the center stone, the ring is adorned with white round natural diamonds that frame the sapphire and amplify its radiance, with individual diamond accents weighing approximately zero point one six carats, zero point two one carats, and zero point zero four carats, each with VS clarity and an F G color grade. These diamonds are carefully positioned to capture peripheral light and send it back into the center stone, creating a complementary sparkle that enhances the sapphire’s internal reflections. The contrast between the crisp white of the diamonds and the warm yellow of the sapphire draws attention to the emerald cut’s clean lines, while the pavé and accent placement on the shoulders and gallery create a continuous shimmer around the finger. The entire ring is set in fourteen karat yellow gold, a metal choice that harmonizes with the sapphire’s natural tone, adding warmth and depth while providing durable everyday wear. The prong setting elevates the emerald cut slightly, allowing more light to reach the pavilion, and the craftsmanship of the setting secures each stone without obscuring the surfaces that catch the light.
