Three Stone Greyish Blue Sapphire Ring 0.79 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

Before this ring ever touched a jeweler's bench, it was born of ancient geology and patient hands. From the rugged riverbeds and alluvial gravels of Montana comes a rare, transparent sapphire, weighing 0.79 carat, cut into an asscher octagon shape, with dimensions of 5.11 by 4.76 by 3.71 millimeters. The stone shows a greyish blue hue with medium intense color saturation, and at eye level it is eye clean, a clarity quality that allows light to travel through the step facets with quiet confidence. The asscher cut brings a hall of mirrors effect, each symmetrical plane and crisp corner reflecting a cool, mineralated light, while an excellent polish ensures every facet finishes with a refined, reflective sheen. This is a Montana sapphire that tells of glacial movement, river patience, and a color that feels reserved yet unmistakably present.

The journey from rough to refined is one we honor at The Natural Sapphire Company, a journey of selection, shaping, and mindful craftsmanship. Our cutters evaluate each piece of rough to preserve the stone's natural character, choosing the asscher cut for its ability to showcase clarity and internal light rather than hide it. This particular sapphire has no enhancement, a rare and valued condition that speaks to authenticity and natural beauty. The cutting and polishing stages are deliberate, each pass aimed at balancing depth of tone with brilliance, and to bring forward that greyish blue personality that is so distinctive of some Montana sapphires. The result is a gem that reads as both quietly modern and deeply connected to place, a stone that carries the story of its origin into the form of a ring.

Flanking the center sapphire are tapered white baguette diamonds, adding approximately 0.18 carats of supporting brilliance. These natural diamonds are graded Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, with a high color grade of E, and they act as architectural companions to the asscher cut, drawing light toward the center while offering clean, linear contrast. The entire composition is set in eighteen karat yellow gold, seventy five percent pure gold that has been thoughtfully alloyed for both rich warmth and enduring strength. The band is engineered with solid walls and a careful profile, the prongs and gallery designed to secure the stones while minimizing exposure to knocks, and the tapered baguettes are situated to protect the shoulders of the sapphire. This is not merely a pretty setting, it is a durable one, intended for repeated wear, daily motion, and the small encounters of life that test a ring.

When you place this ring from The Natural Sapphire Company on your hand, you are wearing more than a gemstone and a band, you are wearing a story. The Montana sapphire brings a landscape with it, the diamonds bring a clarity that frames the center, and the eighteen karat yellow gold brings a lasting embrace that resists the rush of time. With routine gentle cleaning and occasional inspection of the prongs, this ring is crafted to remain a companion through years of life, a piece that will hold its polish and structural integrity when cared for properly. We welcome questions about provenance, craftsmanship, and customization, and we stand behind each ring with the knowledge and care that comes from working closely with every stone.
