0.22 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

This exquisite pear shaped sapphire carries with it the quiet dignity of a gemstone that bridges the ancient and the modern, a tone that appeals to those who value legacy and timeless beauty. Sourced from the storied deposits of Montana, this transparent 0.22 carat stone measures 4.97 x 3.05 x 2.05 mm, and bears a refined mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes table and pavilion facets to deliver scintillation in a petite package. The stone displays a bluish green hue of very light intensity, a color that speaks to the northern American soils from which it came, and to a restrained elegance that works exceptionally well in classical, heirloom inspired designs. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is slightly included, a characteristic that lends the gem individuality and depth rather than detracting from its allure, and the finish is of excellent polish, allowing light to travel through and reflect with a clear, lively character. This sapphire has been heat treated, a long established and widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and refines color, and when viewed in hand the result is a glassy, jewel like presence that rewards careful setting and considered design.

For custom jewelry the pear shape is among the most versatile and flattering silhouettes, and this particular size makes it ideal for a wide range of bespoke creations. At just over four and a half millimeters in length the stone is perfectly suited to an elongated solitaire pendant, where the tapered point can draw the eye and create a sense of elegant motion, or to a delicate drop earring that offers movement without excess weight. In an engagement ring the pear outline provides a slimming effect on the finger when set with the point facing either toward or away from the hand, and the mixed brilliant cut will sparkle through many mounting styles, from low profile bezels that protect the tip, to airy prong settings that maximize brilliance. Designers and clients often select this size as a center for minimalist rings with a slender band, or as a centerpiece surrounded by a micro halo to amplify presence while preserving the gem s subtle color. The gem also excels as an accent in multi stone compositions, pairing beautifully with round brilliant diamonds for a classical contrast, or with warm yellow gold accents to enrich the bluish green tone. Because the clarity is slightly included at eye level and the color intensity is very light, settings that cradle the stone and limit light leakage will emphasize depth and minimize the visual impact of inclusions, allowing the stone s natural character to become a signature of the design.
