0.48 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Montana

Born in the rugged, mineral rich terraces of Montana, this pear shaped bi color sapphire began as molten earth cooled over eons, threaded with subtle variations in trace elements that give it its two tone personality. At 0.48 carat, and measuring 5.57 by 4.10 by 2.81 mm, the crystal was carefully recovered and sent to master cutters who revealed its inner life with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. The result is a transparent gem that reflects light with lively fire and a medium color intensity that shifts between warm golden notes and cool greenish hints as you turn it, a living reminder of the Montana landscape where it was found. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the gem natural origin and character, and like many fine sapphires it has been heat treated to stabilize and enhance its color, making it both beautiful and enduring. From the mine to the cutting table, this sapphire carries a narrative of place, process, and patience, offered to you by The Natural Sapphire Company.

This gem is exceptionally versatile and invites a wide range of custom jewelry possibilities, allowing it to become the heart of a signature piece that honors its story. Its pear shape and modest size make it ideal for an elegant solitaire pendant, or a tapered halo ring that accentuates the bi color shift, and it will sit beautifully as a delicate accent in a three stone engagement ring flanked by diamonds or complementary colored sapphires. For a modern look it can be set in a bezel or tension setting to showcase its profile and measurements, or for vintage inspired designs it can be nestled in filigree and milgrain settings that echo the hand crafted journey it has taken. The Natural Sapphire Company can pair this stone with platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold, and we can recommend mountings that enhance either the golden or the cool tones, depending on your aesthetic. Whether you envision stackable rings, drop earrings, or a bespoke engagement design, our designers will work with these exact specifications to create a piece that feels personal, rooted in nature, and made to last.
