Three Stone Yellow Sapphire Ring 2.54 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a 2.54 carat radiant shape yellow sapphire, measuring 8.75 x 6.18 x 4.53 mm, that exhibits the characteristic mixed faceting of a true radiant cut, with trimmed corners and a combination of brilliant and step facets engineered to maximize scintillation and return. The crown is faceted to promote strong light dispersion, while the pavilion facet architecture has been proportioned to support controlled light return without excessive leakage, resulting in a lively face up performance. The stone is graded eye clean at standard viewing distance, showing no visible inclusions to the naked eye, and it presents a medium intense yellow saturation that is evenly distributed across the table and facets, a color profile that is both vibrant and wearable. The excellent polish enhances facet definition and reduces micro-surface abrasion, which in turn preserves the visual clarity and brilliance of the sapphire during frequent wear. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and its documented origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka speaks to classic material provenance and the typical, attractive color palette associated with that region.

Flanking the center sapphire are natural white half moon shaped diamonds with a combined approximate weight of 0.30 carats, graded Very Slightly Included in the VS1 to VS2 range, and white round brilliant diamonds totaling approximately 0.36 carats, graded VS clarity and F to G in color, bringing the total accent diamond weight to about 0.66 carats. The half moon diamonds are placed adjacent to the shoulders to create a transitional flank that both accentuates the rectangular radiant silhouette and provides lateral support to the center stone, reducing the risk of mechanical contact on the corners during daily activities. The round brilliant diamonds are set along the shoulders in secure bead set positions, each seat carefully cut to align girdle planes and maintain even seat depth, which is important to prevent stress on individual stones and to preserve the overall stability of the pavé line. The center sapphire is held in a four prong configuration that secures the trimmed corners typical of a radiant cut, and the open basket style gallery allows light to enter the pavilion while also providing a structural framework that prevents excessive levering on the prongs.

The entire assembly is executed in 14 karat white gold, selected for its balance of hardness and ductility that suits daily wear, with sufficient tensile strength to resist deformation under normal use, while remaining amenable to precision hand finishing. The 14 karat alloy provides a harder surface compared to higher karat alloys, improving long term resilience of prongs and shank, and the white gold finish is typically rhodium plated to achieve a bright white appearance that complements the diamonds and offsets the yellow hue of the sapphire. Craftsmanship details include hand burnished prong heads, reinforced shoulder junctions, and a well proportioned shank cross section that distributes stress away from the mount points, all factors that contribute to secure stone retention over time. The combination of sapphire hardness, measured at 9 on the Mohs scale, and diamond hardness at 10, together with a robust 14 karat gold mounting, delivers a ring architecture that is optimized for the rigors of everyday wear, retaining optical performance and structural integrity with routine upkeep.

For buyers who prioritize both gemological integrity and real world durability, this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a technically considered solution, where cut proportions, facet finish, and setting engineering have been aligned to provide both visual impact and long term wearability. Routine maintenance recommendations include periodic inspection of prongs and bead seats to confirm tightness, professional cleaning and rhodium replate as needed to maintain the white gold surface, and sensible avoidance of harsh impacts or prolonged exposure to abrasive chemicals to preserve the polished finishes.
