Blue-Violet Color Shift Sapphire Engagement Ring

This blue-violet sapphire engagement ring is an elegant choice for a proposal featuring a colored gemstone. The sapphire exhibits a blue hue in natural light and a purple hue in incandescent light, which combine to form a winning violet shade under most lighting conditions. It is cut into an antique cushion shape, which is both graceful and elongated in the hand. The mounting features a diamond-accented shank that tapers at the top, drawing the eye toward the three larger gems atop the ring: two diamonds and a sapphire. The modest proportions of the mounting and richness of color make the 1ct sapphire appear larger, and it certainly has the cutting to make an impact. The sapphire was cut by one of our favorite Sri Lankan lapidaries, known for bringing out the best attributes in his sapphires, and this is no exception - it is a beautiful gem with a lovely, rich blue-violet hue.

Details: custom 18k white gold engagement ring set with 1.03ct cushion cut violet sapphire (blue-violet color shift, Sri Lankan, heat only) and .27ctw natural diamond accents (SI1 GH).
