1.15 Ct. Green Sapphire from Montana

There is a particular calm in gemstones that carry both a story and a quiet strength, and this green sapphire embodies that timeless presence. Mined in the storied gravels of Montana, this stone connects the rugged American landscape with traditions of fine jewelry that reach back through history. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate gemstones that are authentic and enduring, and this transparent green sapphire offers a rare blend of classic character and singular personality. Its soft green hue is not merely a color, it is an echo of ancient forests and cool mountain waters, a tone that has been cherished by jewelers and collectors who favor heritage and continuity in their pieces.

The gem itself is a compelling size and shape for a statement piece, weighing 1.15 carat and presented in a graceful fancy shape that measures 7.44 x 4.92 x 3.55 mm. The step cut has been expertly executed to emphasize clean lines and a hall of mirrors effect that brings the stone its refined presence. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, it remains exceptionally transparent, allowing light to travel through the pavilion and crown with minimal interruption. The medium color intensity sits between subtlety and assertiveness, making this sapphire versatile for both bold and restrained settings. An excellent polish finishes each facet with precision, and because there has been no enhancement, the stone offers a completely natural face to the world. Together, size, cut, clarity, and finish combine to make this sapphire ideal for anyone looking to make a lasting impression.

There is heritage woven into every facet of sapphires, and Montana sapphires carry a distinct chapter in that narrative. Since the early days of American gem mining, Montana has produced sapphires prized for their unique and often delicate colors, and collectors tend to favor these stones for jewelry that is intended to be passed down through generations. This green sapphire would work beautifully as the center stone of a classic solitaire ring, a refined three stone composition, or a custom vintage inspired setting with filigree and milgrain that echo the past while remaining utterly wearable today. The step cut lends itself to settings that highlight symmetry and proportion, ensuring that the gem reads as a purposeful focal point rather than a mere accent. Its clarity and size ensure that it will draw the eye and invite conversation, without sacrificing the quiet dignity that marks a true heirloom.

Choosing this sapphire is not just a purchase, it is an investment in legacy and craft. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are committed to responsible sourcing, and the fact that this gem requires no enhancement speaks to its natural integrity. For metal pairings, the medium green tone is especially flattering in warm yellow gold which can bring out the greener notes, while rose gold can soften the presentation for a romantic feel, and platinum or white gold will offer a crisp, contemporary contrast that lets the step cut geometry sing. For everyday wear, sapphires are durable and resilient, and gentle care will keep this gem looking splendid for decades. Our team can advise on bespoke settings, proportions that respect the 7.44 x 4.92 x 3.55 mm dimensions, and mounting styles that protect the pavilion while showcasing the stone as a singular statement. If the desire is for a piece that bridges history and modernity, this Montana green sapphire is an exceptional choice.
