Antique Style Yellowish Green Sapphire Ring 2.80 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

The oval yellowish green sapphire at the heart of this ring presents a clear and elegant expression of romantic symbolism grounded in the language of color and form. Weighing 2.80 carats and measuring 9.09 by 7.63 by 4.99 millimeters, the stone is cut in a mixed brilliant configuration that balances internal scintillation with a clean, reflective table, producing a vivid color saturation and an excellent polish that read as lively and sincere. The gemstone’s yellowish green hue evokes renewal and vitality, a blend of verdant growth and warm light that suggests the simultaneous comforts of stability and the promise of new beginnings. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and heat treated to enhance its inherent qualities, the sapphire carries the romantic resonance of an island provenance, a narrative of journey and discovery that can parallel the arc of a shared life. The clarity, evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, allows the gem to present as transparently honest while retaining natural character, a visual metaphor for a relationship that is both open and authentic.

The ring’s 14 karat yellow gold setting complements and amplifies the sapphire’s tonal warmth, creating an intentional dialogue between metal and stone that speaks to partnership and harmony. The design’s split shoulders and elevated prong setting create a light, architectural profile that frames the oval gem as a focal point, while the intricate engraving along the band and gallery introduces an element of intimate craftsmanship, each carved motif suggesting the small, deliberate gestures that sustain long-term affection. The oval shape itself carries symbolic weight, its elongated silhouette suggesting continuity and a forward-facing trajectory without beginning or end, an emblem of enduring commitment. The mixed brilliant cut enhances this symbolism through its measured play of light, the facets catching and returning illumination like mirrored moments shared over time, and the excellent polish ensures that that play remains consistent and clear, reflecting steadiness and care.

Taken together, the material qualities and design choices render this ring a considered emblem of romantic ideals, suitable for use as an engagement piece or a meaningful heirloom. The combination of a vivid, yellowish green Ceylon sapphire and a warm 14 karat yellow gold mounting expresses a balance between growth and warmth, resilience and tenderness, visibility and subtlety. The gem’s 2.80 carat presence gives the piece a tangible weight that can signify seriousness of intent, while the very slightly included clarity and the visible craftsmanship remind the wearer that beauty is rooted in authenticity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this ring as a design in which color, cut, and setting cohere into a narrative of partnership that honors both individuality and union, a piece intended to mark significant moments with clarity, depth, and quiet, enduring radiance.
