Antique Style Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 0.94 Ct., Platinum 950

This ring centers on a transparent, zero point nine four carat cushion shape sapphire, its face dimensions five point four zero by five point two three by three point nine five millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant configuration to balance color saturation and light return. The mixed brilliant cut in this instance employs a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown combined with a complementary pavilion geometry to direct light back through the table while preserving a concentrated body color, a desirable outcome for a greenish blue hue. At eye level the sapphire is graded eye clean, which means inclusions are not visible to the naked eye under normal viewing conditions, and the stone exhibits intense color saturation paired with an excellent polish that enhances both surface luster and facet crispness. The measured depth is approximately seventy four percent relative to the average girdle diameter, a proportion that supports vivid color concentration without excessive light leakage, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a stable enhancement commonly used to optimize tone and clarity in natural sapphires from Montana.

The mounting is fabricated entirely in fourteen karat white gold, chosen to reinforce the cool blue green character of the sapphire and to provide a neutral reflective field for adjacent stones. The design integrates a restrained profile with an openwork gallery that allows light to enter from multiple angles, while the prong setting secures the stone with minimal metal intrusion on the crown, maximizing apparent size and optical performance. Craftsmanship details include precise prong saddles, tight seat geometry at the girdle interface, and consistent mirror polishing on internal and external surfaces, which together reduce micro shadows and preserve the gem s brilliance. The combination of a mixed brilliant cut and the low but airy gallery means the ring reads as elegant and technical at the same time, allowing the sapphire s internal color and face up presence to remain the visual anchor when paired with other pieces.

When integrating this ring into a curated collection, consider the optical dialogues that reinforce or contrast the sapphire s attributes. Pairing with small brilliant cut diamond melee in a matching white gold setting will echo the mixed brilliant facets and increase perceived scintillation without competing with the sapphire s intense body color. For contrast, use step cut accents such as baguettes in channels or bar settings, which provide a linear, architectural counterpoint to the cushion outline and the mixed brilliant s lively scintillation, resulting in a balanced composition on the hand or in a suite. For stackability select bands in the one and a half to two and a half millimeter range, fabricated in fourteen karat white gold or platinum to maintain tonal cohesion, or introduce a single warm metal band in yellow gold to heighten the green component of the sapphire through color contrast. Matching stud earrings and a pendant can be faceted to similar proportions and cut style to preserve the mixed brilliant related reflections, and when creating a set, maintaining consistent girdle proportions and polish standards will ensure uniform light behaviour across pieces.

Practical considerations for acquisition and maintenance are straightforward, and The Natural Sapphire Company recommends the following to preserve the gem and setting. Heat treatment applied to this Montana sapphire is stable, therefore normal cleaning with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush is appropriate, while routine professional inspections ensure prongs remain secure and the openwork gallery is free of debris that can affect light transmission. Ultrasonic cleaning is generally acceptable for heat treated corundum but should be evaluated based on the presence of any delicate accent stones or composite settings, and soldering or retipping work should be performed by a jeweller experienced with fourteen karat white gold to avoid localized overheating. For customers seeking a coordinated set The Natural Sapphire Company can provide matched sapphires or complementary diamond melee cut to echo the mixed brilliant geometry, and bespoke band widths or contouring solutions can be engineered to integrate seamlessly with this ring s profile, producing a coherent, technically refined collection ensemble.
