0.30 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Montana

This pear shape blue sapphire weighs 0.30 carat, and measures 4.92 by 3.48 by 2.40 millimeters, dimensions that place it within the ideal range for secure, elegant settings while preserving optical presence, craftsmanship and proportion. The gem is cut as a mixed brilliant, a choice that marries a modified brilliant crown geometry with a carefully calibrated pavilion arrangement to control light performance, this approach yields a lively interplay of broad flash and scintillation, and accentuates the stone center while preserving depth of tone toward the pavilion. Faceting is executed to precise alignment tolerances, producing crisp facet junctions and an even light return pattern across the table, and the excellent polish ensures mirror like facet planes that maximize contrast and allow the natural blue to read cleanly in both daylight and incandescent viewing. The girdle and pavilion proportions have been balanced for stability and to minimize potential light leakage, making this sapphire a reliable choice for a bezel or three prong setting without sacrificing brilliance.

Color evaluation for this Montana origin sapphire registers as a medium intense blue, a grade that translates into a richly saturated, yet natural appearing hue under standardized viewing conditions, the body color presents a pure blue leaning slightly toward cool neutrality, with no significant secondary tones to dilute saturation. Strategic facet planning enhances perceived chroma, concentrating color toward the center while permitting lighter windowing along the upper facets, this creates a dynamic color gradient that accentuates the pear silhouette and contributes to a bold, yet refined appearance. The clarity is classified as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that are minor, well healed and positioned so they do not impede transparency or reduce scintillation, these natural internal features authenticate the stone and are consistent with its Montana provenance, while heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and improve color uniformity, a common and permanent enhancement for sapphire that is disclosed here in accordance with our standards.
