1.13 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Montana

I remember the day this sapphire first caught my eye, a small, unexpected flash among the gravels and river stones of Montana, where the earth still yields surprises to those who listen. This is a transparent 1.13 carat oval bi color sapphire, a gem that carries with it the quiet story of its origin, the wind bruising the hills, and the patient hands that recovered it from ancient alluvial deposits. Its dimensions are 6.24 by 5.46 by 3.70 millimeters, an elegant oval that feels balanced and timeless when held. The bi color character of this sapphire is striking, a living conversation between hues that shift with every angle and light, and the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to celebrate that conversation, to catch light and return it as lively flashes and deep saturated windows of color.

The journey from rough stone to this polished jewel was careful and considered, guided by cutters who understand the language of color and proportion. The cutter sent this gem through a sequence of decisions that preserved its intense color intensity while maximizing brilliance, opting for a mixed brilliant cut to combine the scintillation of modern faceting with the open face appeal that lets the core hue breathe. At eye level the clarity reads as very very slightly included, a subtle indication of its natural birth, and these tiny inclusions are a reminder that this is a natural treasure rather than a laboratory twin. The polish is excellent, a mirror finish that allows the sapphire to communicate instantly with its wearer and with anyone who has the fortune to observe it. The gem has been heat treated, a respected enhancement that refines tone and clarity in a way that is stable and enduring, and this treatment is commonly practiced to honor the best aspects of the stone rather than to create an artificial impression.

Owning this sapphire is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, one that rewards the eye and the heart over time. Unlike fleeting trends, a well cut sapphire from a place like Montana carries rarity and story, and the bi color nature makes each viewing unique, like a small private performance that changes with the light. From a craftsmanship perspective the work that went into shaping and polishing this 1.13 carat oval is tangible in its balance and symmetry, in the way the crown and pavilion speak to one another to produce both sparkle and depth.
