Bezel Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 7.47 Ct., 18K White & Yellow

From the moment this sapphire was born deep in Montana, its story began as a slow conversation between time and stone, a conversation recorded in the color and clarity of every crystal plane. Miners working the streams and gravels of the American west uncovered rough material that carries the light and cool hush of alpine lakes, the bluish green tone that is both rare and arresting. The stone you see set in this ring is a transparent cushion shape sapphire weighing 7.47 carats, with exact dimensions of 12.79 x 8.93 x 7.07 mm, and it arrived to our workshop with an honesty that matters to collectors and dreamers alike. It is natural and untouched by enhancement, its intense color saturation untouched by heat or treatment, its very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level a reminder that nature made it, not a machine. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that origin by tracing each gem through careful appraisal and by telling the story of the place and process that produced it, so when you wear this ring you wear a piece of Montana geology and history.

The transformation from rough to the mixed brilliant cut cushion you see was guided by decisions that balance weight retention and optical performance, precision that only a practiced hand can achieve. The mixed brilliant cut here brings the best of both worlds, combining a lively crown of small, well proportioned facets that scatter light into scintillating flashes, with a pavilion that is tuned to return color and depth rather than simply add brilliance. Every facet junction was planned to be crisp and exact, every facet plane polished to an excellent finish, so that light entering the table will be dispersed and returned with a lively play of blue and green, and with flashes of white light that enliven movement. The cutter calibrated angles and table proportions to preserve the sapphire’s intense saturation, crafting a pavilion geometry that deepens tone without sacrificing sparkle. The very slightly included clarity means that at eye level the stone reads clean and pure, and under magnification you can see the tiny inclusions that act as a natural fingerprint, evidence of the gem’s journey from Montana bedrock to a polished jewel. The result is a stone that combines a confident face up presence with internal life, and facet symmetry and polish that showcase both color and fire.

The ring that cradles this sapphire was designed to honor both the gem and the story it carries, set entirely in 18K white gold and 18K yellow gold to play with contrast and warmth. The bezel and upper mounting in white gold frame the bluish green stone and make its cool tones sing, while the yellow gold shank introduces a warm, human touch that complements skin and invites everyday wear. The gallery is open and engineered to allow light to enter from below so the precision of the faceting can do its work, and the setting is secure and refined so that the sapphire sits like a small, luminous window into the mountain streams of its origin. Our craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company finished the metal to a smooth polish and fitted the bezel to the gem’s exact girdle profile, so the overall silhouette reads elegant and modern while remaining grounded in artisanal technique. When you place this ring on your finger you are wearing a carefully calibrated conversation between earth and maker, a Montana sapphire that retains its raw story and has been transformed by exacting facet work into an object of lasting beauty.
