Solitaire Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.38 Ct., Platinum 950

This 1.38 carat cushion shaped greenish blue sapphire from Montana offers a level of natural character and optical performance that outshines many market alternatives. The stone measures 6.83 x 5.28 x 4.09 mm and displays a scissor cut that produces lively facet play and a crisp scintillation pattern, while the medium color saturation keeps the tone fresh and wearable. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, this transparent sapphire has an excellent polish that allows light to pass freely and return as sparkle, giving it a presence typically reserved for higher carat weights. Unlike heat treated or clarity enhanced stones that may show uneven color or reduced brilliance over time, this sapphire is unenhanced, which preserves its natural hue and long term value. Compared to common commercial sapphires sourced elsewhere, Montana material often exhibits a unique greenish blue spectrum that is rarer and more sought after, making this gem a distinctive choice for collectors and those who appreciate authenticity.

The setting at The Natural Sapphire Company is designed to highlight the stone with restraint and technical thought. The ring is fully cast in 14K white gold, with a slender, gently tapered band that minimizes metal mass and directs the eye to the cushion center. Four sculpted prongs cradle the sapphire at each corner, their delicate profile securing the gem while exposing its pavilion for maximum light entry. An open basket and airy gallery beneath the stone allow light to flood the scissor cut facets, amplifying fire and brilliance more effectively than bezel or heavy halo mounts that can mute color. The high polish finish on the white gold provides a subtle reflective backdrop that contrasts with the sapphire, making the greenish blue appear more vivid. Compared with elaborate halo or pavé styles, this solitaire configuration emphasizes the intrinsic quality of the sapphire, reduces long term maintenance, and offers versatility for everyday wear or future styling with a wedding band. For customers seeking a naturally sourced, unenhanced Montana sapphire set to maximize optical performance and enduring value, this ring presents a superior balance of craftsmanship, clarity, and classic design, only from The Natural Sapphire Company.
