2.88 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire and Natural Diamond Accent Stones Ring, 18K White & Yellow

This radiant 2.88 carat padparadscha sapphire, GRS certified and sourced from Madagascar, stands apart from many stones you will see on the market because its natural beauty requires minimal enhancement to achieve a spectacular appearance. At 8.54 by 8.19 by 4.64 millimeters and featuring an intense color intensity with an excellent polish, this radiant cut stone shows the rare, balanced salmon-pink to orangey-pink tone that defines true padparadscha. Many alternatives rely on heavy treatments, diffusion, or laboratory-grown material to mimic this hue, but this sapphire has only a conventional heat treatment, the most stable and trade-accepted enhancement, applied to refine its inherent color and clarity. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the clarity preserves the gem’s natural character without distracting inclusions, delivering the optical depth and life that heavily altered stones cannot match.

The ring’s design further elevates the sapphire in a way that competing pieces often do not, using a thoughtful combination of step cut diamonds and mixed metal settings to showcase, rather than overpower, the center gem. Flanking the sapphire are two white baguette step cut diamonds totaling 0.40 carats, two white princess step cut diamonds totaling 0.17 carats, and four additional white baguette step cut diamonds totaling 0.40 carats, with clarity grades ranging from VS2 to VS1 and F color for the baguettes. These carefully selected, high quality accent diamonds provide crisp, geometric sparkle that frames the radiant padparadscha’s soft, velvety color, giving a refined contrast many mass-market designs lack. The combination of 18K white and 18K yellow gold in the mounting allows the pink-orange tones to sing against warm yellow while the white gold elements read clean and contemporary, a versatility seldom achieved in less considered rings.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize verifiable origin and responsible sourcing, and this Madagascar padparadscha is GRS certified to provide clarity and confidence that set it above uncertified pieces.
