Accent Stones Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.40 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring begins its story far from the bench where it is now, in the mineral rich river gravels and ancient alluvial deposits of Montana, where a cool, bluish green sapphire first found form under vast skies. There is a quiet honesty to sapphires from this region, a resilience shaped by time, and this 1.40 carat oval sapphire carries that history with a clarity that speaks to careful selection. It is transparent with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and it shows a very light color saturation that lets a soft, aquatic blue green live between the facets. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that natural character, choosing stones with no enhancement, so the gem you see is the gem the earth made, preserved by skillful hands and exacting standards.

The transformation from rough to radiance is where the cutter tells the next part of the story, and here precision of faceting is the central theme. This sapphire measures 7.52 x 6.05 x 4.06 mm, and it has been fashioned into an oval mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. The mixed brilliant approach places a carefully calculated array of brilliant style facets across the crown, matched to a pavilion geometry that returns light with lively sparkle and controlled contrast, preserving the stone's delicate tint. The cutter honed crown angles and pavilion facets to minimize windowing, to maximize the play of light across every plane, and to keep the table proportioned so that the gem reads as both translucent and lively. The excellent polish on every facet allows light to enter and exit freely, so flashes of white brilliance dance across the surface while the subtle bluish green hue remains intact. Depth and measurements were respected so the gem sits with comfortable presence on the finger, while the mixed facets create a complex, lively face up appearance that reveals different layers of tone and fire as the ring moves.

Bringing the sapphire into a wearable story, the setting and accents were composed to echo and enhance the center stone, and to complete a narrative of craftsmanship. Flanking the oval sapphire are white pear shaped natural diamonds, weighing approximately 0.20 carats, with clarity graded Very Slightly Included, graded VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F. Additional white round shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.102 carats, also graded Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, and color grade F, are positioned to add refined pulses of white light that set the blue green against pure, icy brilliance. The entire arrangement is set in 18K yellow gold, a warm embrace of metal that brings out the cool tones of the sapphire and lifts the sparkle of the diamonds. The prong work and gallery are made to cradle the stone securely while allowing light to pass, and every junction from setting to shank is finished with the same attention to proportion and polish that was given to the sapphire itself. At The Natural Sapphire Company we believe a gemstone should tell its own story, and this ring carries the Montana landscape, the cutter's precision, and the goldsmith's care into a single wearable piece, a ring that feels rooted in place and refined by technique, ready to be part of your life.
