Floral Greyish Blue Sapphire Ring 0.55 Ct., Platinum 950

From the high country streams and glacial alluvium of Montana a quiet blue was brought to light, a greyish blue sapphire that spent eons forming beneath the earth before coming into the hands of skilled cutters, at The Natural Sapphire Company we trace this sapphire back to its origin with the same reverence we give its final setting, this transparent 0.55 carat cushion shape sapphire measures 4.93 by 4.34 by 3.18 millimeters, it is mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and table brilliance, its clarity is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, it shows a medium color saturation and an excellent polish, enhancement by heat treatment has been applied to harmonize tone and clarity while preserving the stone character that makes Montana sapphires unique. The journey from rough to gem involved careful planning to retain weight and color, the cutter oriented the pavilion and crown to maximize light return from the mixed brilliant facets, then our master goldsmiths set the gem in a timeless 18K white gold mounting that cradles the cushion silhouette while allowing the light blue to breathe and reflect.

This ring reads like a quiet hero piece within a curated collection, its subtle hue and elegant proportions make it an ideal companion to both minimalist and more ornate jewelry, paired with a slender diamond band in white gold the sapphire will play off white sparkle and appear cooler in tone, paired with warm yellow gold pieces it will create an appealing contrast that highlights the blue, stack it with other slim 18K white gold rings for a layered engagement set or wear it alone for a refined solitaire statement. Its mixed brilliant cut gives it a lively face up presence that complements brilliant cut diamonds and round gemstones, while the cushion silhouette harmonizes with vintage inspired settings and geometric modern pieces alike. For those who collect by origin or story, combining this Montana sapphire ring with other North American stones tells a geological narrative on the hand, and for those who prefer color play, mixing it with pearls or soft pink sapphires creates a delicate palette. As with all pieces from The Natural Sapphire Company a modest amount of care keeps the finish and polish radiant, avoid harsh chemicals and store separately to preserve the white gold surface, contact our team to explore matching earrings, pendants or bespoke stacking bands that will complete a signature set.
