Solitaire Yellowish Green Sapphire Ring 1.70 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

From the first strike of a miner's pick in the river gravels of Montana, to the quiet moment when a master cutter lifts this stone into the light, this sapphire has traveled a long and storied path. Born deep within ancient igneous and metamorphic rocks, this yellowish green sapphire is a child of time and pressure, its subtle color taking shape over millions of years as trace elements wove themselves into the corundum lattice. Streams and glaciers carried boulders and sediments, and patient prospectors followed their currents, finding rare pieces of beauty in improbable places. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that journey, sourcing stones whose origins can be traced and whose natural state is preserved, this sapphire arriving with no enhancement, a rare and honest expression of Montana earth and sky. The stone is more than a mineral, it is a fragment of place, its green warmth a memory of alpine meadows, and the story of its discovery is woven into every facet of the finished ring.

Measured at 1.70 carats and cut to an elegant oval with dimensions of 7.69 by 6.35 by 4.56 millimeters, the gem is given a mixed brilliant cut that balances sparkle and depth, the excellent polish amplifying its natural radiance. At eye level the clarity is described as very slightly included, a professional assessment that tells a different kind of truth than clarity grades alone. Those inclusions are not flaws to hide, they are a signature, a map of the gem's growth. Look closely and you will find delicate mineral traces, tiny reflective planes, and faint feather like patterns that catch the light differently from one angle to the next. These internal features create a living complexity, a garden of miniature textures that breaks and scatters sunlight into private flashes of brilliance. The medium intense color saturation gives the stone a vivid but natural presence, a yellowish green that can read as sunlit moss or a fresh spring leaf, and the interplay of color with the internal inclusions adds layers of interest that a wholly clean stone would not possess.

Set entirely in warm 14 karat yellow gold, the ring design is a study in elegant restraint, allowing the sapphire and its internal character to be the true protagonist. The classic mounting cradles the oval stone, lifting it just enough to let light enter and set the mixed brilliant facets at work, turning those tiny internal passages into points of reflected energy. As the wearer moves, the inclusions reveal themselves like hidden glints in a landscape, sometimes emphasized by a bright flash, sometimes melting back into a softer pool of color. The yellow gold complements the stone, enhancing the yellow notes and lending an overall glow that feels both timeless and modern. Craftsmanship matters in these moments, the profile of the band, the careful shaping of the prongs, and the precise seat for the pavilion all contributing to how the stone breathes and displays its inner story. With excellent polish and a responsible, no enhancement origin, this sapphire sits in its setting as an honest jewel, ready to be worn and to collect new memories.

This ring is for someone who appreciates provenance and personality, who sees beauty in nature's fingerprints and prefers a gem with a tale to tell. The durability of sapphire makes this piece suitable for everyday wear, while the unique internal characteristics ensure that no two viewing experiences are exactly the same. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can provide the full details of origin and assessment, and assist with any custom requests for band width, finish, or personal engraving to make this ring even more meaningful. Simple care will preserve its polish and sparkle, a gentle warm soapy wash and a soft brush when needed, and periodic professional checks of the setting will keep the gem secure. If you seek a ring that carries the wild clarity of Montana and the distinct personality that inclusions bring, this 1.70 carat yellowish green sapphire set in 14 karat yellow gold offers a rare combination of natural provenance, refined cutting, and handcrafted setting, a jewel that begins its story in the earth, and continues it on the hand of the person who chooses to wear it.
