Halo Greyish Blue Sapphire Ring 1.02 Ct., 18K White Gold

This ring centers on a transparent pear shaped greyish blue sapphire weighing 1.02 carats, measuring 7.44 by 5.41 by 3.67 millimeters, and cut to a mixed brilliant style to maximize both fire and overall light return. The gemstone displays a medium light color saturation and an attractive greyish blue tone that reads as soft and refined in natural light. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which contributes to the gem's natural character without compromising its transparency. The sapphire has an excellent polish and has received no enhancement, a notable attribute that affirms its natural state and preserves its inherent optical qualities. The precise proportions and mixed brilliant faceting are selected to emphasize the pear silhouette while delivering a balanced appearance from face up and in profile.

Montana origin contributes significantly to the sapphire's story and value, as sapphires from this American region have long been distinguished by their particular blue and steel blue tonalities and their reputation for being natural and generally untreated. Historically collected from alluvial and bedrock occurrences throughout the state, Montana sapphires have appealed to connoisseurs seeking a recognizable provenance coupled with a more restrained, silvery blue palette than many tropical deposits produce. The absence of enhancement in this specific gem aligns with the traditional appeal of Montana sapphires, and it enhances the stone's desirability among collectors and those who value geological authenticity. The combination of origin, natural color, and lack of treatment amplifies the sapphire's rarity and provides a documented narrative that is easily communicated and appreciated over generations.

Surrounding the sapphire is a halo of white, round natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.306 carats in total, with clarity grades of Very Slightly Included, VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F. These diamonds have been chosen for their clean appearance and bright, near colorless tone, creating a crisp contrast with the softer greyish blue of the center stone. The halo arrangement increases perceived size and presence while contributing lively scintillation that complements the mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire. The diamonds are precisely matched and set to maintain symmetry and even light distribution, so that the combined effect is cohesive and finely articulated. The technical pairing of a mixed brilliant pear with a well calibrated halo demonstrates attention to optical harmony and proportion.

The mounting is executed in platinum 950, selected for its strength, hypoallergenic properties, and enduring white color that will not fatigue over time. Platinum 950 provides a secure and stable environment for both the sapphire and the accent diamonds, enhancing overall durability and long term wearability. This piece has been assembled and inspected by the gem specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company, who focus on selection, cut harmony, and secure workmanship to preserve the gemological attributes described. For those who prioritize verified origin, natural state, and measured gem quality, this ring represents a considered combination of historical provenance, precise gem cutting, and classic precious metal engineering, forming a piece intended to retain aesthetic and intrinsic value through years of wear.
