0.88 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

When you are searching for a single gemstone that finally ends your quest for the perfect center stone, you want confidence in the gem’s color, clarity, and the way it will translate from a loose stone into a finished piece of jewelry. This 0.88 carat pear shape sapphire from Montana answers that need with poise and personality. Its intimate size and elongated pear silhouette make it an outstanding choice for custom engagement rings, pendants, and one-of-a-kind cocktail pieces where a refined but unmistakable presence is required. At The Natural Sapphire Company we look for gems that combine beauty and practicality, and this greenish blue sapphire offers an intense, lively tone and an eye clean clarity grade that reassures you the stone will perform beautifully under close inspection and in every lighting situation.

The pear shape is inherently versatile for custom work, and the proportions of this sapphire enhance that adaptability. Measuring 7.16 by 5.17 by 3.55 millimeters, the stone has a graceful length that elongates the finger when set vertically in a ring and a width that balances nicely in halo, three stone, or solitaire designs. The mixed brilliant cut brings a lively internal scintillation and a balanced modern sparkle, while the excellent polish means crisp facet junctions and smooth surfaces for clean reflections. For jewelers and designers this translates to predictable behavior when designing prongs or bezels, straightforward seat preparation, and an ease of setting that preserves the gem’s symmetry. If you prefer a low profile that sits comfortably for daily wear, or a slightly higher head to let light play through the pavilion, this sapphire’s dimensions allow both options without compromising presence or durability.

Color and clarity are the heart of any sapphire selection, and this Montana gem carries an attractive greenish blue hue with intensity that will read richly in metal. The color is vivid enough to command attention, yet nuanced enough to remain versatile next to both white and yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum. Because the stone is eye clean it offers a pleasing, uninterrupted field of color that complements fine detail work, such as filigree, milgrain, or pavé shoulders, without any internal distractions. The sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves tone and transparency while maintaining the stone’s natural character. Originating from Montana, this gem also brings a sense of provenance and personality; collectors and couples who value distinctive regional stones will appreciate the unique expression of color that Montana sapphires are known for.

Choosing this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company brings design freedom and certainty. Consider a tapered halo to emphasize the pear shape and boost perceived size, or a simple three-stone layout with tapered baguettes to accentuate the stone’s length and color. For a modern minimal look, a sleek prong solitaire will showcase the mixed brilliant cut and let the intense greenish blue read clearly, while a bezel setting will highlight the gem’s clean profile and create a smooth, wearable silhouette. Our team is ready to advise on setting proportions, metal selection, and mounting height so the finished piece reflects your vision and wears comfortably. If you are building an engagement ring or commissioning a bespoke heirloom, this pear shaped 0.88 carat Montana sapphire provides the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and custom design potential, and we are happy to guide you through personalized options until your search is complete.
