1.00 Vintage Oval Sapphire Engagement Ring 9k

This Victorian-era solitaire engagement ring holds a 1.00 carat oval cut sapphire in an eight-prong basket setting on a 9 karat rose gold band. The sapphire shows blue-green color, which falls into the teal sapphire category—less common than pure blue but prized for its unique hue that shifts between blue and green depending on the light.

The oval cut creates an elongated shape that covers more finger space than a round stone of equal weight while producing flashes of color across its surface.

Eight prongs provide extra security for the stone while creating a decorative starburst pattern when viewed from above, a detail typical of Victorian-era settings. The tapered band narrows as it approaches the setting, drawing focus to the center stone and making the ring comfortable for daily wear. The 9 karat rose gold has a softer, more coppery pink tone than higher karat rose gold due to its higher copper content.
