Accent Stones Yellowish Green Sapphire Ring 1.85 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

The centerpiece of this ring is a transparent 1.85 carat radiant shape yellowish green sapphire, measuring 8.30 by 6.07 by 4.20 mm, cut in a classic radiant faceting scheme that marries rectangular step facets along the pavilion with truncated brilliant facets on the crown. The radiant cut produces a balanced interplay of scintillation and broad flash, allowing the sapphire to exhibit intense color saturation without blocking light penetration. The stone is graded Very Slightly Included at eye level, a clarity that supports strong transparency while retaining the natural signature of an untreated Montana sapphire, enhancement none. The excellent polish emphasizes crisp facet junctions and symmetry, and the corundum hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale ensures that the well proportioned pavilion and crown maintain durable facet integrity through daily wear. Optical parameters typical of Montana sapphires contribute to a rich yellowish green hue that shifts subtly with viewing angle, and the unenhanced state enhances both collectibility and long term value for connoisseurs who prioritize natural origin and minimal intervention.

Complementing the center sapphire are white baguette shaped natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.40 carats, selected for clarity Very Slightly Included graded VS1 and VS2, and color grade F which places them in the near colorless range for optimal contrast against the yellow gold setting and the green of the sapphire. The straight baguette form uses linear step facets that create a refined channel of light along the shoulders, providing a measured, architectural counterpoint to the mixed faceting of the radiant sapphire. The diamonds are calibrated for consistent length and table orientation, and their straight edges are set flush within the 14K yellow gold shoulders to maintain clean sight lines and to protect vulnerable corners. This combination of step cut diamonds and a mixed facet centerpiece produces a technical harmony, where the crisp reflective planes of the baguettes emphasize the central stone geometry, and where the eye perceives both depth and surface brilliance in a well controlled optical ensemble.

The mounting is executed entirely in 14K yellow gold, chosen for its compatibility with the warm greens of the sapphire and for its enduring structural stability. The center sapphire is held in a low profile bezel that integrates the gallery into the shank, providing secure protection for the truncated corners inherent to the radiant shape while preserving crown exposure for maximal light interaction. Hand finishing techniques include precision seat cutting, tight bezel walls with uniform thickness, and an overall polish that maintains uniform light return across the band. The result is a ring that reads as both technically refined and robustly wearable, engineered for longevity and ease of maintenance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document the provenance and treatment status of each stone, and this unheated Montana sapphire is a prime example of the kind of gem that develops provenance over generations. Given its material quality, its considered gemological attributes, and its meticulous goldwork, this ring is designed to become a timeless treasure, an heirloom caliber piece that rewards careful appreciation and that will remain visually and structurally relevant across changing fashions.
