Bezel Green Sapphire Ring 0.93 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

Long before the ring took shape on a jeweler s bench, the green sapphire began its story deep within Montana s ancient soils, where tectonic patience and mineral chemistry conspired to create a gem of rare character. From the moment our gemologists at The Natural Sapphire Company first saw the rough, we recognized something special, a crystal whose internal chemistry would yield a vivid, intense green when liberated and refined. The rough was carefully mapped, photographed, and logged, every angle considered so that the natural color zones and internal features would be honored through the cutting process. Heat treatment was applied with expert restraint, a standard and stable enhancement that deepened the stone s hue while preserving its natural character. We weighed the polished pear at 0.93 carat, and measured it at 7.67 by 5.05 by 3.42 millimeters, details that speak to the exacting choices made from the moment the crystal was unearthed to the day it reached our cutting houses.

The transformation from rough to radiant stone hinged on precision faceting, and this sapphire received a mixed brilliant pear cut that was conceived to balance sparkle and color. Each pavilion facet was calculated to exact angles that allow light to enter, refract, and return with a lively play that emphasizes the sapphire s intense saturation. The crown facets were balanced to disperse light into flashes without washing out tone, and the table size was chosen to offer a window into the gem s slightly included clarity at eye level while maximizing depth and life. The cutter polished every facet to an excellent finish, eliminating any microscopic abrasions that could dull the stone s return of light. Because the gem shows slight inclusions visible at eye level, the faceting plan placed reflective facets around those features, turning them into points of interest rather than distractions, while maintaining structural integrity. The result is a stone that seems to hold a living green within, its mixed brilliant architecture scattering light with an elegant scintillation, and its pear silhouette offering a graceful, directional brilliance that draws the eye.

Flanking this hallmark sapphire are white emerald cut natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.38 carats, chosen for their contrast and compositional clarity. These diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included in the VS1 and VS2 range, with a color grade of E, a near colorless tone that reads bright against the rich green center. The emerald shape s linear, step cut structure provides a calm, architectural foil to the mixed brilliant facets of the pear, reflecting light in broad flashes that emphasize symmetry and purity. Set together in 14K yellow gold, the warmth of the metal complements the green sapphire s depth while providing a secure and elegant frame. The design holds the sapphire in a refined bezel that showcases the gem s contour and protects its girdle, while the diamonds are mounted in precise settings that align with the sapphire s axis, creating a balanced profile from every viewing angle.

When you hold this ring you can feel the lineage of craft that brought it into being, from Montana s earth to the final polish in our workshops. The precision of the faceting is not an abstract ideal, it is the practical language by which we shape light and color into emotion. Every facet angle was chosen to coax out the sapphire s intense saturation, every polish stroke was guided to ensure maximum return, and every setting decision was made to preserve the gem s presence while allowing the diamonds to punctuate its elegance. This ring is a narrative of place, technique, and intentional design, a piece that will age with the wear of a life well lived, reflecting light and memory in equal measure.
