Antique Style Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.13 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

A single glance reveals why this 1.13 carat Montana sapphire commands attention, a greenish blue of such deep, concentrated hue that it reads as a jewel rather than simply a stone. The gem measures 6.47 by 5.90 by 4.01 millimeters, and its fancy cut has been executed to create a lively interplay of facets that returns light with an almost liquid intensity. With intense color saturation and an excellent polish the sapphire presents a transparency and depth that few stones achieve, its very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level speaking to the rarity of such clarity in natural stones of this character. Heat treatment has been applied with the utmost restraint and skill, enhancing the natural color without compromising the gem’s integrity, and the result is a center stone that sits somewhere between the quiet mystery of a deep alpine lake and the luminous confidence of a gemstone that was always meant to be seen. The visual poetry of its color is amplified by the precision of the fancy cut, which frames the gem’s unique character with refined geometry and a surface polish that makes every movement an occasion.

Encircling this exceptional sapphire is a halo of white round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.35 carats in total, each diamond selected for a combination of F color and Very Slightly Included clarity grades of VS1 and VS2, ensuring a scintillating contrast that elevates the center gem without overpowering it. The diamonds have been set by hand into a 14K yellow gold mounting that warms the cooler tones of the sapphire, creating a marriage of color that feels at once vintage and utterly modern. The setting reveals a mastery of proportion and ergonomics, the shoulders tapered to accentuate the central tableau, the gallery sculpted to allow light to pass beneath the stone, and the bezel and prong work executed with the same attention to detail one expects from the ateliers of the most revered houses. The craftsmanship rivals the meticulous artistry associated with storied names in high jewelry, it recalls the structural clarity of Cartier, the poetic silhouette of Van Cleef and Arpels, and the exacting gem selection one finds at Tiffany and Co. Each metal surface has been hand finished to a mirror polish, every diamond is tightly and securely seated, and the overall harmony of the ring reflects a design sensibility that prizes both beauty and durability.
