Marquise Sapphire Vintage Cocktail Ring | 14K Yellow Gold 1.35 ct tw

Five marquise-cut blue sapphires totaling 1.33 ct sit east-to-west across the face of this 14K yellow gold vintage cocktail ring, with a small 0.02 ct diamond punctuating the line. The marquise (or navette) cut elongates each stone, giving the ring more visual presence than its physical size would suggest.

At 1.35 ct total weight and built at 585 gold purity, this is a heavily sapphire-dominant ring sized 5 through 9. The format is rooted in mid-century cocktail-ring design and works for someone who wants color over diamond sparkle - a vintage marquise sapphire ring that reads more navy than near-colorless.

Why marquise sapphires

The marquise cut was popularized in 18th-century France and is one of the few faceted shapes designed to look larger than its actual carat weight from face up. For a sapphire, the elongated form lets the deep blue saturate across more visible surface area than a round cut of equivalent weight. Five stones in a row creates a continuous linear flash of color, similar in concept to a baguette eternity band but more sculptural.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the sapphires natural?

Yes. All five marquise stones are natural blue sapphires totaling 1.33 ct. The 0.02 ct accent stone is a natural diamond.

What is the gold weight?

The setting is solid 14K yellow gold at 585 purity. We can confirm gram weight on request.

Can this be worn as an engagement ring?

It can. Vintage and antique-style sapphire rings have been used as engagement rings for centuries. The 1.33 ct of marquise sapphires gives this design genuine engagement-ring presence, though the cocktail format reads less traditional than a solitaire.

What ring sizes are available?

Sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are stocked. Contact us for custom sizes.

Will the ring scratch easily?

Sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, and 14K gold is durable for daily wear. The marquise points are the most vulnerable area on any marquise stone, so we recommend removing the ring before heavy manual work.
