Antique Style Bluish Green Sapphire Ring 1.63 Ct., Platinum 950

The story of this ring begins long before it was ever set in metal, high in the ancient gravels and riverbeds of Montana where conditions have quietly favored the formation of some of the world most treasured sapphires. Deep time, pressure and heat coaxed aluminum and trace elements into crystal form, creating a sapphire whose bluish green heart carries the cool clarity of mountain waters. This particular stone weighs 1.63 carats and presents an elegant oval silhouette, measuring 7.94 x 5.90 x 4.32 millimetres. Its medium color saturation gives it a gentle presence that shifts with light, revealing green notes that sit against a calm blue background. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity is described as very slightly included, a small and honest fingerprint of its natural origin. There has been no enhancement to alter its character, so what you see is the sapphire as nature intended, held in trust until it found its final expression in this ring.

From rough crystal to the polished gem that crowns the ring, the journey of cutting and finishing is a careful dialogue between artisan and stone. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut for the oval sapphire to balance scintillation and color, carving facets to capture both the inner life of the gem and its transparent, watery hue. The cut emphasizes light return and floral sparkle while maintaining the soft oval profile, and the finish was carried to an excellent polish that lets the surface sing when it catches the light. Those internal, very slight inclusions are not flaws to hide, but waypoints in the gem story, vestiges of the geological forces that made the sapphire unique. The result is a stone that reads as natural and refined at once, a rare Montana sapphire whose tonal subtlety rewards close attention and whose transparency makes it an intimate companion for daily wear.

The design that embraces this sapphire was conceived to enhance both beauty and function, with two white natural round diamonds flanking the centre stone to add whispering brilliance without overwhelming it. The side diamonds total approximately 0.24 carats, and are graded Very Slightly Included in clarity with grades of VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of E for a bright, near colorless presence. Set into a secure and graceful mount in platinum 950, the diamonds and sapphire sit comfortably yet confidently, the cool tone of the platinum reinforcing the gem color and offering durability that is suitable for a lifetime of moments. The gallery work and prong settings were crafted to offer protection while allowing the maximum amount of light to enter and animate the stones. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take care to combine responsibly chosen materials and timeless proportions so that every element of the ring supports the central gemstone and tells a consistent story of place and craft.

Comfort was a guiding principle in the final shaping of the band, because a ring that is loved must also be effortless to wear. The platinum 950 band has been rounded and tapered where it meets the finger, with a smooth interior that nests against the skin and reduces pressure points through long days and active moments. Weight distribution was considered so the ring balances naturally on the hand, and the profile has been kept low enough to slip easily under sleeves while still offering enough presence to showcase the sapphire and the diamonds. Whether worn from morning coffee to evening gatherings, this ring was designed for all day wear without sacrifice. We invite you to feel the understated luxury of a Montana sapphire that has traveled from riverbed to gem cutter to bench, and now into a ring that blends geological history, expert cutting, and thoughtful ergonomic design into a single piece.
