Pave Yellow Sapphire Ring 3.06 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

The ring features a beautiful transparent 3.06 carat oval shape yellow sapphire with dimensions of 9.48 x 7.77 x 4.99 mm and a mixed brilliant cut. This indicates the gemstone has been expertly crafted to maximize the reflection of light, enhancing its overall brilliance and scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut is superbly designed to combine variations of faceting, ensuring the stone's sparkle is maximized. This cut is crucial to the gemstone's radiance, as it optimally captures and reflects light, thus increasing its visual appeal and value significantly.
The sapphire's clarity grade is very slightly included. This means that the gemstone has minute inclusions that are barely visible under the scrutiny of a jeweler's loop, and certainly not visible to the naked eye. Inclusions in a gemstone are natural characteristics that occur during the crystal's formation. Very slightly included grade offers the perfect balance between rarity and affordability, as it still maintains a high degree of transparency which contributes to the overall allure of the gemstone.
With a medium color saturation, the yellow sapphire exhibits an appealing, balanced hue that is neither too light nor too dark. Medium saturation is often preferred as it allows the true beauty of the yellow hue to be displayed without overwhelming the observer. The excellent polish further heightens this effect, ensuring a mirror-like surface that enhances both the sapphire’s luster and its light performance.
Originating from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this sapphire is part of a historically significant and highly regarded source of gemstones globally. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their extraordinary quality and brilliance. This provenance adds an additional layer of desirability, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who recognize the superior quality associated with Ceylon-origin sapphires.
The ring also features white round shaped diamonds strategically set around the sapphire and along the band. These diamonds, weighing approximately 0.36 carats, 0.285 carats, and 0.15 carats respectively, possess a clarity grade of VS1/VS2 and a color grade of F. VS1/VS2 clarity grade diamonds indicate that any inclusions are very minute and are not visible to the naked eye, ensuring that these accent stones maintain optimal sparkle and clarity. The F color grade identifies these diamonds as extremely colorless, which is one of the most sought-after grades due to its near-total lack of any color tint, allowing the diamonds to exhibit maximum fire and brilliance.
The setting of the ring in 14K yellow gold complements the yellow sapphire while creating a harmonious and luxurious appearance. The use of high-quality 14K yellow gold ensures durability and a classic look that pairs beautifully with both the gemstones, emphasizing the ring's overall elegance and timeless design.
This combination of a superior cut, high clarity, excellent polish, renowned origin, and premium accent diamonds results in a piece that is both visually stunning and of significant value to discerning buyers.
