Three Stone Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.75 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.75 carat asscher octagon sapphire that measures 6.28 by 6.22 by 4.91 mm, the stone displays a bluish green hue with medium color saturation and an excellent polish, the clarity has been graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and importantly the sapphire has no enhancement and is from Montana, a source notable for producing uniquely greenish and teal sapphires that owe their color to specific trace element balances and local geological conditions. The asscher cut emphasizes broad step facets and a relatively large table, creating an elegant interplay between depth and facet planes, the excellent polish ensures sharp facet junctions and strong light return, and the lack of heat treatment or other enhancement preserves the natural character and collector appeal of the material in a way that educated buyers recognize as rare and desirable.

Understanding how grading and cut affect what you see in this stone is central to appreciating its value, the medium color saturation places this sapphire in a sweet spot where color is vivid enough to be identifiable and lively, yet not so deep as to sacrifice brightness and sparkle, the very slightly included clarity grade indicates that inclusions are minimal and generally not distracting at normal viewing distances, while the asscher cut tends to expose internal features more than brilliant cuts, the combination of excellent polish and the measured dimensions of this gem allow light to interact with the step facets and crown in a way that keeps the face up appearance clean and transparent rather than murky. Montana origin adds provenance value, because untreated Montana sapphires are sought after for their distinct green to teal tones and their relative scarcity compared with more commonly treated sapphires from other localities.

The setting is engineered to enhance the sapphire color and clarity, the gem is mounted in a refined 14K white gold gallery and prong assembly that minimizes metal obstruction to the pavilion and the sides, this open mounting strategy increases light circulation through the stone which improves perceived brilliance and makes the bluish green tones more luminous. The neutral white of the gold provides a cool reflective backdrop that does not warm or alter the sapphire hue, rather it allows the natural color to read true in daylight and artificial light, the prongs are shaped to secure the asscher octagon while leaving the table and step facets prominently visible, and the slightly elevated profile opens the pavilion to return more light to the eye which helps mask minor inclusions and accentuate the polished facet planes.

Flanking the central sapphire are straight baguette shaped natural diamonds with a combined weight of approximately 0.12 carats, the diamonds are graded very slightly included in clarity with typical grades of VS1 and VS2, and they carry a near colorless grade of F, these clean, linear side stones articulate the geometry of the asscher cut and create a crisp frame that emphasizes the sapphire center without competing for attention. The straight edges of the baguettes mirror the step facet design, reinforcing a coherent design language that reads precise and architectural, the bright F color of the diamonds complements the white gold and enhances the perception of transparency around the sapphire. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select settings and accents to bring out the best optical performance of each gem, and this ring exemplifies that approach, the combination of a rare, untreated Montana asscher sapphire, excellent polish, thoughtful open prong setting, and complementary baguette diamonds results in a ring that offers both aesthetic refinement and enduring gemological value.
