Antique Style Blue Spinel Ring 1.18 Ct., Silver

This ring centers on a transparent 1.18 carat pear shape blue spinel, measured at 8.80 x 5.01 x 4.28 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a faceted crown for scintillation with a carefully calibrated pavilion for depth and return of light. The stone exhibits dark color saturation consistent with fine Ceylon provenance, and it has been assessed as very slightly included at eye level, with an excellent polish that preserves sharp facet junctions and crisp facet symmetry. The mounting features a precision seat and a secure prong mounting configured for pear geometry, the pierced gallery allowing light entry to enhance brilliance, and the shoulders display hand executed milgrain and openwork filigree that reflect traditional lapidary finishing and careful soldering techniques. Accent stones consist of white round shaped lab grown diamonds totaling approximately 0.09 carats, graded VS1 and VS2 for clarity, and color F, selected to provide a cool, near colorless flank that complements the deep blue of the spinel. The entire assembly is set in silver, with finishing that includes hand polishing and an option for rhodium plating to stabilize surface tonality and resist tarnish.

For clients seeking a custom, one of a kind interpretation, The Natural Gemstone Company offers a structured customization program that preserves the gemological integrity of the primary stone while adapting design variables to personal specification. Options include metal upgrades to 14k or 18k yellow gold, 14k or 18k rose gold, or platinum, each requiring reengineering of prong thickness and seat geometry to meet appropriate hardness and wear characteristics. Alternate setting styles are available, including bezel, V prong for reinforced pear tips, halo or pavé shoulders to increase perceived diameter and scintillation, and conversion to a solitaire with engraved shank for a minimalist profile. Accent diamond upgrades in size, cut grade, and clarity are offered, as well as substitution with color gemstones for contrast. Inside band engraving, bespoke hand engraving on the shoulders, and adjusted ring sizing are executed with controlled tolerances to preserve balance and proportion. Every customization begins with a consultation, digital renderings, and a gem check to confirm that changes are compatible with the spinel dimensions and clarity, final fabrication is completed under strict quality control, and a finished piece is delivered with a detailed report and recommended care guidelines.
