Sapphire and Diamond Ring in Platinum Sapphire and Diamonds - DK263

This is a classic and romantically beautiful three stone sapphire and diamond engagement ring. The deep, rich, blue round faceted sapphire is set in four prongs and flanked by a .50 ct natural round brilliant cut diamond on each side. The 14k white gold mounting is set with additional diamonds pavé set down the band.

Sapphires are part of the corundum family. They are the 2nd hardest stone next to diamonds withstanding daily wear and tear. Sapphires and Rubies (same stone, different color) come in every color of the rainbow and are a great alternative to a diamond for an engagement ring.

I recently attended a lecture about corundum through my GIA Alumni group in San Francisco to hear gem dealer Sheahan Stephen speak about Sri Lankan gem mining. This gem quality, deep blue color sapphire is getting rarer and more valuable due to new treatments that are occurring in sapphires today.
