X Sapphire Diamond Ring | 14K Yellow Gold 0.25 ct tw

X Sapphire Diamond Ring | 14K Yellow Gold 0.25 ct tw

The X sapphire diamond ring uses a graphic geometry not found in most sapphire rings: 0.16 ct tw of channel-set princess-cut sapphires running on the diagonal, crossed by 0.09 ct tw of round diamonds forming the second leg of the X. The result is a small ring that reads architectural rather than ornate.

Set in 14K yellow gold at 585 purity, this 0.25 ct tw sapphire and diamond ring offers G/H color, SI1-SI2 clarity diamonds, and is available in sizes 5 through 9. It pairs well stacked with bands or worn solo as a modern alternative to traditional sapphire engagement rings.

About the channel-set princess-cut sapphires

Channel-setting holds princess-cut stones between two metal walls without prongs, creating a smooth, snag-resistant surface and exposing only the table of each gem. This protects the sapphire corners (princess cuts are more vulnerable than round cuts) and produces the clean linear band of color that defines the X design. The crossing diamonds use traditional prong settings to reflect light from a different angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the X refer to?

The X is the visual pattern formed across the front of the ring: princess-cut sapphires sit on one diagonal axis and round diamonds sit on the crossing diagonal, creating a literal X shape on top of the ring.

What is the diamond color and clarity?

The round diamond accents are G/H color (near-colorless) and SI1-SI2 clarity. Both diamond inclusions and color tint are difficult to detect at this grade.

Are princess-cut sapphires durable?

Sapphire is hardness 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, so the stone itself is highly durable. Channel-setting reinforces the corners of the princess cut, which is the most vulnerable point on the stone.

Can the ring be resized?

Sized 5 through 9 are stocked. Resizing channel-set rings is more involved than resizing simple bands. Contact us before purchase if you need a custom size.

Is the metal solid 14K yellow gold?

Yes. Solid 14K yellow gold throughout, stamped 585 (58.5 percent pure gold).
