Bezel Green Sapphire Ring 1.40 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.40 carat cushion shape green sapphire, the proportions of the gem precisely 7.24 x 6.20 x 4.40 mm, cut in a fancy brilliant faceting scheme that optimizes both return of light and scintillation, facets arranged to create a broad, luminous crown and a well defined pavilion that preserves depth without sacrificing table brightness. The fancy brilliant faceting departs from strict step or standard brilliant recipes, incorporating modified crown facets and truncated pavillion facets to enhance the gem's table brilliance and create a dynamic pattern of light and dark contrast as the stone moves. The result is a cushion that reads larger face up than its carat weight alone would indicate, due to the efficient distribution of facet angles and the controlled pavilion depth, subtle symmetry control and excellent polish contributing to crisp facet junctions and strong, mirror like facet planes. This technical balance between crown angle, pavilion depth and table percentage is what achieves the gem's lively return of white light and the fine pinfire scintillation at the facet junctions, characteristics that discerning buyers evaluate when considering performance and optical balance.

The sapphire exhibits an intense color saturation, a clear green tone that displays depth without moving into overly dark territory, a saturation that gives the gem presence while preserving lively transmission and sparkle, and because the clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level the stone appears eye clean in normal viewing, inclusions are minor and typically located away from the primary facet junctions so they do not disrupt the visual performance or the stone's light return. The gem has been heat treated, a stable and common enhancement for sapphires to enhance color and clarity, and the treatment has been executed in a way that is consistent with best practices in gem care, producing uniform color zoning and minimal effects on inclusions, heat treatment in this case reinforces the intense chroma while maintaining natural crystal structure. Origin from Montana is significant for connoisseurs, Montana sapphires are known for a distinctive palette of soft to intense greens and teals, a geologic provenance that contributes to the stone's character and is often associated with finely distributed color and appealing optical properties, provenance also informs long term collecting value and aesthetic lineage for the piece.

The setting is crafted entirely in 14K yellow gold, a choice that complements the green sapphire by introducing warm reflected light and enhancing the gem's green saturation through subtle reflected warmth, the mounting shows a refined balance of form and function, the stone is seated in a low profile bezel lip with an open gallery that allows light to enter the pavilion and facilitates both cleaning and light performance, the bezel is executed with tight tolerances to secure the gem while preserving a slim, elegant silhouette that will layer well with bands and other stackable rings. The shoulders are tapered and sculpted to the gallery, the metal is fully hand finished with an excellent polish that mirrors the sapphire's own finish, the joinery between bezel and shank displays careful solder lines and consistent thickness to ensure longevity, the ring's internal surfaces are finished to reduce stress points, and the overall geometry was conceived to be timeless, allowing the technical craftsmanship to speak through proportion and restraint rather than ornate detail.

This design offers enduring versatility and sophisticated wearability, sapphire hardness of nine on the Mohs scale ensures daily resilience provided normal care practices are observed, the combination of a cushion fancy brilliant sapphire and a streamlined 14K yellow gold mount creates a classic profile that will remain stylistically relevant across generations.
