Antique Style Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 7.47 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 7.47 carat cushion shaped bluish green sapphire measuring 12.79 by 8.93 by 7.07 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances intense color saturation with scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut here uses a faceted crown composed of modified brilliant facets to maximize return from the vivid bluish green body color, while the pavilion exhibits a carefully calibrated array of facets that preserve depth and minimize windowing. The stone is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and presents an excellent polish and surface symmetry, attributes that allow the stone to read clean to the eye despite natural internal features. This sapphire is unenhanced, which in conjunction with its Montana origin contributes materially to its rarity and collectability, because unheated Montana sapphires are prized for their distinct hue and natural color stability. The gem is secured in a refined four prong head and embraced by white round natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.65 carats and 0.504 carats respectively, each set for optical continuity. The diamonds are graded VS clarity and color grade F and G, selected to provide high contrast and a bright, neutral halo that magnifies the sapphire tone without introducing color contamination. The mounting is fully executed in 14K white gold with precise pave work along the shoulders, and a hand finished polish that complements the pavilion reflections of the center stone.

The history embedded in this sapphire amplifies the ring value in technical and market terms. Montana sapphires have a documented provenance going back to late 19th century discoveries, and historically collectors and connoisseurs have assigned premium value to stones exhibiting natural color and lack of treatment, because such stones are both geologically uncommon and enduring in appearance. In practical gemological terms an unenhanced sapphire of this size and intense saturation commands a higher per carat valuation than treated equivalents, and when paired with calibrated round diamonds of VS clarity and F and G color, the piece achieves both optical balance and investment grade credentials. Craftsmanship decisions such as the mixed brilliant faceting, the calibrated prong geometry, and the precision pave setting on the 14K white gold band all serve to optimize light performance and durability, ensuring that the intrinsic qualities of the Montana sapphire remain the primary visual focal point. This ring reflects The Natural Sapphire Company approach to provenance driven selection and meticulous setting, resulting in a piece that is both technically sophisticated and historically resonant.
