Bezel Yellowish Green Sapphire Ring 0.59 Ct., 18K White Gold

If you are searching for an engagement ring that feels decisive and different, or a collector’s sapphire that combines rarity and refined geometry, this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company is designed to end that search. At its heart sits a transparent 0.59 carat asscher octagon shape yellowish green sapphire, measuring 4.58 by 4.47 by 3.11 millimeters, with a clarity grade described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a dark color saturation, and an excellent polish. This sapphire was sourced from Madagascar and has undergone stable heat treatment to enhance its color and clarity, which is a common and accepted practice for sapphires. The gem is precisely cut in an asscher style, a square based step cut with trimmed corners that presents a dignified, almost architectural profile, and it is set in a meticulously crafted platinum 950 mounting that secures the stone while letting its presence speak for itself.

Understanding how this asscher cut performs in light will clarify why this piece will satisfy a client who wants understated elegance rather than loud, scattering brilliance. The asscher cut is a step cut, so it creates broad flashes and a hall of mirrors effect rather than the pinpoint scintillation and dispersion associated with brilliant cuts. Compared to a round brilliant, which maximizes fire and scintillation through numerous small facets designed to break light into spectral flashes, the asscher returns light in larger, purer planes, revealing depth of color and clarity more than continual sparkle. Against an emerald cut, which is also a step cut, the asscher tends to concentrate attention toward the center because of its more square outline and pronounced crown facets, producing a strong central flash that feels modern and vintage at the same time. Compared with cushion and oval shapes, which are often mixed cuts combining step and brilliant faceting to increase sparkle, the asscher is calmer and more geometric, favoring elegant flashes and clear reflections over constant brilliance. In a sapphire with dark color saturation like this yellowish green from Madagascar, the asscher cut intensifies the gem’s hue, making the color feel richer and more saturated as the step facets emphasize depth rather than dilute the tone with excessive light dispersion. The excellent polish of this stone ensures crisp facet junctions and clean reflections, and the very very slightly included clarity at eye level is an ideal match for a step cut because these inclusions remain subtle while the cut amplifies the gem’s internal structure in the most flattering way.

For someone choosing an engagement ring that will age with quiet authority or a collector seeking a well proportioned, characterful example of a natural sapphire, this ring answers both needs. The platinum 950 setting is durable and hypoallergenic, and it provides a cool, reflective backdrop that complements the yellowish green tone while offering structural security for daily wear. The open gallery design beneath the stone, combined with the thoughtful bezel like framing in the crown, allows light to enter and be guided through those step facets so that the asscher displays those deep flashes and geometric mirrors in a way that is both subtle and memorable. Because the asscher cut rewards clarity and polish, the very very slightly included grading and excellent polish make this particular sapphire a perfect companion to the cut, delivering visual harmony rather than competing brilliance.
