Solitaire Green Sapphire Ring 1.07 Ct., 18K White Gold

This elegant ring presents a timeless design that highlights the intrinsic beauty of its center stone, a transparent green sapphire weighing 1.07 carats, introduced by The Natural Sapphire Company. The sapphire is cut into a classic cushion shape, with refined dimensions of 5.39 by 5.24 by 4.12 millimeters. Its mixed brilliant cut combines the scintillation of a brilliant facet pattern with the soft, vintage lines of the cushion profile, resulting in a stone that offers both lively sparkle and a pleasing, rounded silhouette. The color is a medium intense green, a tone that sits comfortably between vivid saturation and delicate pastel, giving it versatility for daily wear and formal occasions alike. This precise balance of weight, dimensions, and cut provides an appealing face up presence, so the gem reads larger on the finger than its weight alone might suggest.

From a gemological perspective the sapphire displays attributes that will reassure a discriminating buyer. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates that the stone is largely free of visible imperfections to the naked eye, while small natural inclusions confirm its authenticity and origin. These minor inclusions do not interfere with the gem s transparency or brilliance, and in many cases they contribute to the stone s individuality. The lack of any enhancement is particularly significant, the sapphire is natural and untreated, which is an increasingly valued attribute in the market for collectors and connoisseurs. The excellent polish of the pavilion and crown facets enhances light return and contributes to a lively, crisp appearance under varied lighting. Taken together, the mixed brilliant cut, the measured proportions, the clarity grade, and the polish create a gem that performs beautifully in person, showing controlled brilliance and a serene depth of color.

The mounting is crafted entirely in 18 karat white gold, chosen for its clean, contemporary character and its ability to set off the green tones of the sapphire. The setting lifts the cushion stone slightly above the band, allowing light to enter from multiple angles while maintaining a secure hold and a low to moderate profile for comfortable daily wear. The white gold complements the cool green of the sapphire, reinforcing the gem s clarity and creating a luminous interplay between metal and stone. The band is finished with an immaculate polish, and the junctions where the shoulders meet the head are neatly tapered to emphasize the central gem without appearing bulky. The use of durable eighteen karat alloy provides a balance between purity and strength, ensuring the piece will wear well over time while retaining a luxurious feel. The sapphire itself benefits from corundum s natural hardness, rated nine on the Mohs scale, meaning with reasonable care this ring will resist scratches and retain its polished surfaces for generations.

For the educated buyer this ring represents an intersection of provenance, craftsmanship, and natural beauty that is highly desirable. The sapphire s origin in Montana is meaningful, Montana sapphires are known for their distinctive green and teal tones, and for their tendency to be found in gem material that is untreated, which enhances rarity and collector appeal. The medium intense saturation is an elegant choice, offering color that reads as both distinctive and wearable, without veering into overstatement. Because the stone is untreated, and because it is well cut and well polished, its market value is supported by both aesthetic and gemological factors. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document the origin and treatment status of our gems, and we are committed to transparent, factual presentation. This ring is therefore not only a beautiful piece to wear, it is also a sound selection for someone who values verified provenance and enduring design. We offer additional gemological information and bespoke sizing options, and we are happy to discuss the stone s characteristics in greater detail for buyers who wish to understand the nuances of color, clarity, and cut before they purchase.
