Pave Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.63 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This bluish green oval sapphire began its life beneath ancient Montana soils, where cold rivers and shifting gravels quietly concentrated corundum crystals over millennia. Miners and geologists working in small, family run operations followed old creek beds and untold deposits in search of stones with that rare, fresh aqua tone, and this sapphire emerged clear and honest, untouched by heat or other treatments. When we at The Natural Sapphire Company first held it, its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish revealed a calm, watery sparkle that speaks of glacier melt and high plains light. The gem weighs 1.63 carats, with dimensions of 7.94 by 5.90 by 4.32 mm, and a clarity grading of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Those fine, natural inclusions are like topographical marks on a map, subtle reminders of the terrain where the crystal formed, and they add character without compromising the gem's transparency and brilliance. Its medium color saturation gives it a versatile temperament, able to read as gentle blue in cool light, and as green kissed by sunlight, a color story that echoes the changing Montana sky.

The ring around this sapphire was designed to honor both the stone and the hands that brought it to light, set in warm 14K yellow gold to embrace the sapphire like late summer sun. The center oval rests in graceful prongs that allow the pavilion to breathe, and on either shoulder, clusters of white round diamonds gather like river stones polished by water. Two of those diamonds weigh approximately 0.06 carats each, and two weigh approximately 0.03 carats each, all graded clarity VS and color grade F or G, chosen to offer crisp contrast and subtle fire without stealing the sapphire's quiet presence. The mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire gives it a unique play of light, a combination of table size and well proportioned facets that returns both scintillation and depth. The excellent polish enhances that effect, so the gem sends out soft flashes when you move your hand, and the unenhanced nature of the sapphire means every shimmer and hue you see is the gem's own honest expression. The ring is finished by skilled jewelers who blend old world techniques with modern precision, ensuring that the setting protects the stone while showing it to its best advantage, and that each diamond is seated securely to create a balanced, refined silhouette.

This piece can be transformed into your own narrative, because customization is at the heart of creating a truly one of a kind treasure. You may choose to alter the metal, moving from 14K yellow gold to rose gold or to 14K white gold, to shift the emotional tone of the ring, or select higher karat gold for a richer, warmer finish. The setting itself can be adjusted, replacing the prong mounting with a bezel for a lower profile that suits an active lifestyle, or raising the head for a more prominent presentation. The side diamonds can be swapped for larger stones, for tapered baguettes, or for colored accents, so you may frame the sapphire with warm Champagne diamonds, or with petite sapphires drawn from a different origin to tell a layered story. Engraving options allow for a private message inside the band, in your own handwriting if you prefer, and custom texturing or a matte finish can give the ring a handcrafted feel, while a high polish preserves a classic shine. If you desire, our designers can reimagine the shank, create a mount for stacking with a wedding band, or craft matching earrings or a pendant that share the same Montana spirit. Each choice is guided by our gemological experience and by a conversation with you, so that every decision enhances the personal meaning of the ring.
