Solitaire Green Sapphire Ring 1.71 Ct., 10K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.71 carat cushion shape green sapphire, measuring 7.88 x 5.75 x 4.39 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance depth of color with lively light return. The mixed brilliant cut uses a combination of brilliant facets on the pavilion and modified facets on the crown to produce strong scintillation and a pleasing spread across the table, making the most of the gem dimensions. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone presents with minimal internal features that do not detract from its overall transparency when viewed without magnification. Color is described as medium saturation, which yields a fresh, versatile green that reads beautifully in natural and artificial light, and the excellent polish on all facets enhances both lustre and contrast. Sourced from Montana, this sapphire carries the distinctive character associated with American sapphires, a provenance appreciated by connoisseurs for its geological background and relative rarity in this particular green tone.

The mounting is crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold, a warm metal choice that complements and enriches the sapphire hue, while the expert workmanship elevates the gem without overpowering it. The stone is hand set in a secure four claw prong setting that allows ample light to enter the pavilion and reduce the visual weight of the setting, creating an elegant solitaire profile that sits comfortably on the hand. Attention to finishing is evident in the precise seat for the girdle, the smooth polished surfaces, and the balanced proportions of the band, all of which contribute to long term wearability and durability. For an educated buyer who values both natural origin and lapidary skill, this piece from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a considered combination of clean clarity, a well executed mixed brilliant cut, true transparency, and timeless 18K yellow gold craftsmanship, making it a confident choice for everyday wear or a meaningful heirloom.
