Floral Blue Sapphire Ring 1.17 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.17 carat oval blue sapphire, with precise dimensions of 6.98 x 5.52 x 4.02 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and color saturation. The mixed brilliant cut places a brilliant facet pattern on the pavilion and crown facets that maximize light return while preserving the sapphire color, making it an excellent choice for an oval that should appear lively from every angle. The gem is evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, meaning inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye, a clarity attribute that is highly prized by informed buyers because it preserves optical performance without compromising natural character. Color is described as medium intense, a tone that reads as a strong, saturated blue in daylight and under typical artificial lighting, and the polish is excellent which enhances surface reflection and overall presence. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and widely accepted enhancement for sapphires that improves both color and clarity in a stable and permanent way when done properly, and the stone is from Montana, a provenance that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs for its distinctive regional characteristics and documented origin.

The mounting is crafted entirely in 14K yellow gold, a metal choice that offers a warm and classic contrast to the cool blue of the sapphire, and the design features elegant, intertwined shoulders that create visual interest while maintaining a refined silhouette. Four secure prongs elevate the sapphire slightly above the band, allowing light to enter from multiple directions which enhances sparkle and color depth, and the 14K alloy provides a durable everyday wear surface that is also comfortable for rings meant to be worn daily. From a gemological perspective, Montana sapphires are known for their appealing range of blues and for generally good clarity profiles, and provenance contributes to long term value and collectibility when accompanied by transparent documentation. Heat treatment in sapphires is a stable enhancement when properly disclosed, and routine care involves avoiding hard knocks, chemical exposure, and extreme thermal shock, while periodic professional cleaning will keep the excellent polish and faceting delivering optimal performance. For buyers who value substantiated details, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide supporting information about the stone and the options for independent grading or appraisal.

The piece is highly adaptable and can be customized to create a truly one of a kind ring tailored to personal taste, lifestyle and budget. Metal choices can be altered to 18K yellow gold, 14K or 18K white gold, or platinum to change the weight, color contrast, and long term wear characteristics, and finishes can be specified from high polish to satin to a hand hammered texture to suit a modern or more vintage aesthetic. The setting style can be modified to include a halo of small brilliant cut diamonds or sapphires for increased visual size and brilliance, or to accept tapered or round side stones for a three stone composition, while prong styles can be refined to cathedral, V prongs, or a low profile bezel for enhanced security. Internal engraving, finger size adjustment, and the creation of a matching wedding band that fits flush against the engagement ring are available, and customers may choose to upgrade the center gem to a larger or different origin sapphire, select an untreated stone if preferred, or request a recut to alter the oval proportions, noting that recutting will change total carat weight. At The Natural Sapphire Company we guide clients through each decision with clear explanations about how changes affect appearance, durability and value, and we can arrange professional gemological reports and bespoke renderings so that the finished piece is both beautiful and informed by sound gemological principles.
