Three Stone Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.69 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.69 carat cushion shape greenish blue sapphire, measuring 6.56 x 6.50 x 4.77 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant pattern that combines precise brilliant faceting to optimize scintillation with larger pavillion facets to retain weight and depth. The mixed brilliant configuration produces a lively interplay of pinpoint flashes and broad flashes, enhancing the stone's intense color saturation and allowing the greenish blue hue from Montana to appear both deep and vibrant under varied lighting. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, and the stone exhibits an excellent polish, features that together maintain a clean face up appearance while permitting natural inclusions to serve as fingerprint proof of origin and natural formation. The sapphire has been heat treated to stabilize and intensify its color, a standard and transparent enhancement that complements its origin and faceting approach.

The setting is engineered to maximize light admission to the sapphire and to present the color with pronounced contrast, entirely in 14K white gold to provide a neutral, highly reflective backdrop. The center is secured in a four prong head elevated above an open under gallery, a geometry that increases pavilion exposure to ambient light and improves return, creating stronger fire and depth in the mixed brilliant cushion. The shoulders form an interwoven split shank, each ribbon meticulously hand crafted to create alternating channels of polished metal and diamond pavé. Natural white round diamonds are bead set and prong set into the braided shoulders in graduated sizes, with featured accent pieces weighing approximately 0.04 carat, clarity VS1 VS2, color F, approximately 0.09 carat, clarity VS, color F G, and approximately 0.135 carat, clarity VS, color F G. The F to F G color range ensures a bright white contrast against the greenish blue center, while the VS clarity range sustains lively sparkle without visible inclusions. Every accent diamond is placed to follow the braid, the graduated diameters guiding the eye toward the center, while the polished 14K white gold ribbons reflect light back through the pavilion of the sapphire, amplifying its brilliance. The Natural Sapphire Company signature on this piece denotes exacting hand setting and finishing practices intended to present the sapphire at its most vivid and luminous.
