Men's Bluish Grey Sapphire Ring 1.42 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This men's ring centers a transparent 1.42 carat cushion shape bluish grey sapphire, measuring 7.07 x 5.02 x 4.44 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant geometry that combines a squared cushion outline with a brilliant style crown and faceted pavilion. The mixed brilliant cut is specified to maximize both scintillation and depth of color, with small triangular and kite facets on the crown arranged to break light into lively flashes, and a calibrated pavilion facet architecture that returns light with minimal leakage. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, indicating only minor internal characteristics that do not interfere with overall transparency or brilliance. Color saturation is medium, producing a cool bluish grey appearance that reads as versatile and masculine, while an excellent polish across each facet plane ensures crisp facet junctions and optimal light return. The sapphire is unenhanced, origin Montana, offering collectors an auditable natural color and a traceable provenance that complements the technical aspects of the cutting and polish.

The setting is executed in solid 14K yellow gold, employing a low profile full bezel that emphasizes security and daily wearability while engineered to enhance the stone visually. The bezel walls are precision formed to follow the cushion outline closely, with a carefully contoured seat that locks the girdle without obscuring the crown facets, allowing the mixed brilliant crown to remain visible and active. A subtle gallery relief beneath the bezel is machined to permit controlled light entry to the pavilion, a deliberate choice that increases perceived depth and liveliness without compromising the bezel protection. The internal bezel edge is hand finished and slightly chamfered for comfort, while the exterior receives a uniform mirror polish to create a warm reflective field that amplifies the sapphire color by contrast. Proportions of the bezel height and band thickness are balanced for a masculine silhouette, with the secure prongless design minimizing snags and emphasizing the clean geometric presence of the sapphire. Each element of the mount is crafted with attention to mating tolerances and finish, producing a ring that showcases the Montana sapphire technically and aesthetically, an approach consistent with the standards of The Natural Sapphire Company.
