Antique Style Greenish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.44 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring centers a beautifully transparent 1.44 carat oval greenish blue sapphire, with exact dimensions of 7.84 by 5.57 by 4.12 millimeters and a mixed brilliant cut, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. The color shows a medium intense saturation that reads as a sophisticated teal that shifts subtly between blue and green as the stone moves. The stone is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means it is eye clean to most observers and the minute inclusions do not interfere with light return or the gem s overall visual appeal. The sapphire has received professional heat treatment, a standard and stable enhancement that enhances color uniformity and reduces the visibility of microscopic inclusions without compromising the gem s durability. The excellent polish ensures that each facet edge is crisp and that light meets the surface with minimal diffusion. The origin is Montana, a region renowned for its uniquely hued sapphires that often carry a cooler, alpine influenced blue to green palette that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs alike. The ring setting is entirely 14 karat yellow gold and features delicate hand engraved detailing along the band, a design choice that warms the stone s greenish blue hues and provides a timeless, artisanal finishing touch.

The mixed brilliant cut plays a decisive role in this sapphire s light performance and creates a different aesthetic than other common cuts and styles. A mixed brilliant typically combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a more controlled pavilion design, producing a strong balance of brightness and scintillation while maintaining the elongated elegance of an oval outline. Compared with a round brilliant of similar weight, the oval mixed brilliant presents a larger face up appearance for the carat weight, which is an efficient use of weight for those seeking maximum visual presence. Compared with a classic full brilliant oval, the mixed pavilion often enhances depth of color and concentrated flashes of white light without excessive table wash, which helps the middling to medium intense color of this Montana sapphire read rich under varied lighting. Against step cuts such as emerald, which emphasize broad flashes of color and require exceptionally high clarity to appear flawless, the mixed brilliant affords more scintillation and lively fire, while remaining more forgiving of very small inclusions. Versus cushion and antique cuts, which tend to concentrate light in larger flashes and emphasize color saturation, the mixed brilliant offers greater dispersion and more dynamic sparkle, which allows this gemstone to display both its color and its lively internal life. The oval silhouette can sometimes show a bow tie effect, however the facet architecture and the proportions of this particular gem keep any such shadowing minimal and often imperceptible in everyday wear.

For the educated buyer who values both gemological integrity and aesthetic performance, this ring offers a compelling combination of provenance, cut quality, and wearable beauty. The sapphire s dimensions and a depth that sits in a balanced range yield efficient face up area and reliable light return, while the very slightly included clarity grade indicates an eye clean appearance that preserves visual purity without paying premiums reserved for flawless material. The disclosed heat treatment is industry standard and enhances the stone in a stable manner that is widely accepted by gemologists and collectors. Montana origin contributes to the gem s narrative and collectible appeal because such stones are sought after for their distinct color range and geological history. The 14 karat yellow gold setting not only reinforces durability for daily wear, but the warm metal tone complements the greenish blue hue to create a vintage inspired palette that many buyers prefer over cooler white metals. The hand engraved band and secure four prong gallery show artisan craftsmanship that increases the piece s overall value beyond the intrinsic worth of the sapphire alone. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize transparent disclosure and precise gem grading so discerning customers can evaluate color, clarity, cut, and origin side by side, and this Montana sapphire ring represents a harmonious blend of technical quality and refined style that will appeal to collectors and those seeking an elegant signature piece.
