Antique Style Yellowish Brown Sapphire Ring 1.47 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

From the highland mines of Ceylon, where monsoon rains and ancient geology conspire to create some of the world’s most treasured sapphires, comes a stone that carries the warmth of its birthplace in every facet. This 1.47 carat oval sapphire, sourced in Sri Lanka, was found as a clear crystal that already hinted at the golden brown glow that would define its character. The gem measures 7.74 by 5.90 by 3.44 millimeters, its proportions carefully considered by the cutter to balance depth and table size, and it has been fashioned into a mixed brilliant cut to coax maximum fire and scintillation from the material. At eye level the clarity reads as very slightly included, which means the stone feels bright and transparent, with natural inclusions that are private to the gem and that affirm its authenticity. Its color is intensely saturated, a rare and compelling yellowish brown that shifts with the light from honey to rich amber, and it bears the proud mark of no enhancement, a pure, natural expression of Ceylonese earth and time.

The journey from rough to ring is a story of patient artistry, and every stage of that transformation was guided by the eye of a master. Our artisans worked to preserve the sapphire’s innate warmth during cutting and polishing, delivering an excellent polish that allows each facet to return light with lively brilliance. The stone was set in a 14K yellow gold ring, chosen to echo and amplify the sapphire’s sunlit tones. The setting is hand finished, with a delicate crown and openwork gallery that let light enter from beneath, while secure prongs hold the oval sapphire so it sits prominently yet comfortably. The band has a gentle taper that gives the ring a timeless silhouette, a design vocabulary drawn from classical jewelry traditions and refined for everyday wear. The mixed brilliant cut provides a modern sparkle, the warm gold gives a vintage inspired feel, and the craftsmanship ensures the proportions and polish come together in a piece that feels both substantial and graceful on the hand.

Wearing this ring is like carrying a little piece of Ceylon with you, a touchstone of natural history and human skill. Its yellowish brown hue is versatile, flattering a wide range of complexions, and it pairs elegantly with both dress and casual attire. The design resists trends, because it is founded on balance and proportion, and because it celebrates the gemstone rather than overwhelming it. For those who value provenance, the sapphire’s Ceylon origin and its untreated state create a story you can retell, a story that gains meaning as the ring passes through seasons and seasons of life. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish such narratives, and we craft each setting to honor the stone inside it, so that your ring is not just jewelry, but an heirloom in the making, ready to be worn, remembered, and passed on. If you are drawn to a gem that speaks of place, patience, and meticulous handwork, this sapphire ring will offer a timeless presence on the finger, and a lifetime of quiet, luminous moments.
