Antique Style Yellowish Green Sapphire Ring 2.26 Ct., 10K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 2.26 carat oval shape yellowish green sapphire, presenting dimensions of 7.75 x 6.89 x 4.71 mm. The sapphire is cut in a mixed brilliant style, which combines precise faceting for lively return of light with a traditional oval outline that flatters the finger. At eye level the stone is graded eye clean, with no inclusions visible to the unaided eye, and it displays vivid color saturation that is characteristic of fine material from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The sapphire has an excellent polish, imparting a smooth reflective finish across the pavilion and crown facets, and the combination of transparency and intense color provides strong visual presence while maintaining refined clarity and depth. This central gem was selected for its balance of color intensity and clarity, and it is held securely to emphasize the stone without obscuring its natural character.

Accenting the sapphire, the ring incorporates a selection of high quality white round natural diamonds presented in multiple weight groupings, clarity VS, color grade F G. The smaller accents include diamonds totaling approximately 0.072 carat, additional melee totaling approximately 0.34 carat, an accent grouping of approximately 0.02 carat, and a further cluster of approximately 0.09 carat. The combined estimated diamond weight is approximately 0.524 carat, distributed to create a continuous sense of light and contrast across the shoulders and halo area. Each diamond is set with consistent spacing and consistent orientation, allowing each stone to reflect light individually while contributing to the collective brilliance of the mount. The use of VS clarity and F G color grade ensures a bright, white appearance that complements the greenish yellow tone of the central sapphire, preserving visual balance and a cohesive color story.

The band and structural components are crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold, chosen for both aesthetic warmth and enduring performance. An 18K gold alloy offers a balance between high gold content and mechanical strength, yielding a surface that resists deformation during normal daily activities while maintaining a rich, warm tone that enhances the sapphire and diamond palette. The construction emphasizes long term wearability, with solid shank thickness through the lower band, reinforced shoulders beneath the center setting, and robust prongs that secure the sapphire with minimal risk of loosening over time. All junctions are precision soldered and finished to create a seamless profile, and the gold is finished with an excellent polish that resists minor surface wear yet can be professionally restored if needed. The design accounts for repeated wear, routine cleaning, and periodic maintenance, so the structural integrity of the mount supports prolonged use without compromising the stone settings.

Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this ring combines provenance, measured gemological attributes, and purposeful metal engineering to deliver an item suited for significant wear. The Ceylon origin of the sapphire is noted for its historical significance and expected color qualities, and the mixed brilliant cut, eye clean clarity, and excellent polish reinforce the gemological value. The 18K yellow gold construction offers durability for daily wear, and the diamond accents are matched for consistent color and clarity to maintain visual harmony. Routine care, including gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap, and professional inspection of prongs at regular intervals, will support the longevity of the piece. For customers requiring resizing, appraisal documentation, or additional certification, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide guidance to ensure the ring meets long term expectations for both aesthetic and structural performance.
