Antique Style Yellowish Green Sapphire Ring 1.34 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a transparent 1.34 carat cushion shape yellowish green sapphire, with exact dimensions of 5.87 x 5.58 x 4.53 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance pavilion brilliance with crown sparkle. The mixed brilliant faceting combines a modified brilliant pavilion with a pavilion oriented to maximize return and a cushion crown geometry that yields crisp corner facets and broad, scintillating flashes. The gem exhibits intense color saturation, a pronounced yellowish green hue that reads vivid in direct light and warmer in softer illumination, indicative of fine color concentration rather than diffusion or surface coating. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone presents as effectively clean to unaided sight while retaining natural internal character that confirms its untreated origin and natural formation. The polish is excellent, enabling optimal light transmission through precise facet junctions and minimizing surface drag, which preserves the stone s optical performance and enhances its apparent depth and luster.

The white round diamonds are integrated to complement and enhance the center sapphire without overpowering its presence. A primary cluster of white round diamonds of approximately 0.14 carats in total share a clarity of Very Slightly Included, assessed as VS1 and VS2, and a color grade of F, providing bright, colorless contrast against the green sapphire. Additional white round diamonds of approximately 0.096 carats are set with clarity VS and a color appearance between F and G, while two further accent diamonds of approximately 0.018 carats each carry clarity VS and color grades in the F and G range. These diamonds are selected for consistent optical compatibility, with tight grain structure and faceting symmetry to ensure uniform brilliance and scintillation across the mounting. The arrangement balances melee and focal stones, using proportionate diamond sizes and calibrated cuts to frame the cushion sapphire and reinforce center sparkle without introducing color contamination, particularly important given the close proximity to the yellow gold setting.

Craftsmanship of the mounting is executed in 14K yellow gold, chosen to subtly warm and enrich the yellowish green tone of the sapphire while providing durable structural support. The center sapphire is secured in a precision prong setting, engineered to elevate the pavilion sufficiently for optimal light ingress and to protect the girdle from undue stress. The ring employs a dual band architecture, with one band featuring a continuous row of bead set round diamonds and the companion band rendered with hand engraved braid and textural detail, visible in the side profiles as refined carving and repeated motif. All metalwork displays exacting finish control, with crisp facet edges on the engraved surfaces and an excellent high polish on interior and exterior planes for comfortable wear and long term preservation. The setting geometry is optimized to align the sapphire s mixed brilliant facet pattern with the diamond rounds, preserving symmetry and delivering coordinated flash patterns when the ring moves.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize provenance and responsible sourcing as core elements of value, and this Montana sapphire exemplifies that commitment. The stone was sourced through partners who operate within local communities in the Montana region, employing small scale, low impact extraction methods and adhering to traceability practices that document chain of custody from mine to market. These practices prioritize minimal environmental disturbance, careful land rehabilitation, and fair labor conditions, including transparent transaction records and contributions to local economic stability. Each gem included in this ring is inspected and graded by our gemologists to verify natural origin, measurable clarity and color characteristics, and to ensure no undisclosed treatments have been applied. Customers who appreciate technical pedigree and ethical stewardship will find that this ring delivers both rigorous gemological quality and responsible sourcing, and we welcome inquiries about detailed provenance documentation, customization options, and professional sizing or setting adjustments to meet exact specifications.
