1.70 Cushion Sapphire Engagement Ring 14k Yellow Gold

This three-stone engagement ring features a 1.70 carat cushion cut blue sapphire flanked by two Asscher cut diamonds totaling .52 carats, all set in 14 karat yellow gold. The cushion cut gives the sapphire soft, rounded corners while displaying its deep blue color across the entire face of the stone. Asscher cuts have a distinctive step-cut pattern that produces a hall-of-mirrors effect—flashes of light rather than fiery sparkle—which complements rather than competes with the sapphire's rich hue.

The eight-prong setting holds the center stone securely while still allowing light to enter from multiple angles. Yellow gold provides a warm contrast against the cool blue of the sapphire, making the color appear more saturated. At 1.70 carats, the sapphire has good presence on the finger without feeling oversized.
