0.94 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Montana

This yellowish green sapphire weighs 0.94 carat, and is presented in a round shape with precise measurements of 5.80 x 5.81 x 3.89 mm. The stone is transparent with a mixed brilliant cut that balances a faceted pavilion with a well proportioned crown to optimize light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the finish is noted as excellent polish. Color intensity is described as intense, and the stone has been heat treated to enhance stability and color uniformity. Origin is Montana, and the combination of cut, polish, and clarity produces a gem that is both lively and refined. The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to offer this sapphire with full specification for consideration in bespoke settings or matched with complementary gemstones.

The yellowish green hue is inherently versatile, and when set in jewelry it interacts with skin tone through contrast and harmony in predictable ways. On fair skin, the stone’s green leaning yellow adds warmth without overwhelming the complexion, creating a fresh, understated focal point that reads as elegant and slightly vintage. For medium and olive skin tones, the yellow component harmonizes with natural golden undertones while the green imparts a clear, clean contrast, resulting in a balanced appearance that neither clashes nor disappears. On deeper skin tones, the intense color registers as vibrant and striking, offering strong legibility from a distance and a jewel like presence that complements richer complexions. For cool undertones, pairing the sapphire with white metals will emphasize its green aspects while maintaining a crisp, modern aesthetic. For warm undertones, yellow or rose gold will magnify the yellow warmth and create a softer, more integrated look. For neutral undertones, the stone’s mixed color balance makes it exceptionally adaptable, performing well with either white or warm metal choices.

Beyond basic skin tone considerations, the sapphire’s appearance will vary with setting style and surrounding materials. A simple solitaire prong setting allows maximum light to enter and return from the mixed brilliant cut, increasing scintillation and showcasing the stone’s intense coloration. A halo of white diamonds will enhance contrast and make the yellowish green appear more saturated, while a subtle pavé band will lend sparkle without shifting the color balance. Bezel settings will offer a contemporary frame and can slightly mute the stone’s perceived brightness, which may be desirable when a more subdued look is required. Size and proportions are also relevant, the 5.80 millimeter diameter presents as a classic single stone that sits comfortably in rings, pendants, and stud earrings, while the 3.89 millimeter depth contributes to durability and protects the pavilion during routine wear. The very slightly included clarity means small natural characteristics are present, but they do not significantly affect brilliance or structural integrity under normal use.

Practical considerations for long term enjoyment include recognition that heat treatment is a standard and stable enhancement for sapphires, applied to improve color uniformity and clarity, and it does not diminish the stone’s suitability for everyday jewelry. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish optimize optical performance and minimize the visual impact of inclusions when the gem is set. When selecting metal and setting style, consider how contrast will affect perceived color, and whether accent stones should increase perceived saturation or provide a neutral frame. For commission or retrofit work, this Montana sapphire offers a balance of character and practicality, delivering a distinct yellowish green color that performs well across a wide range of skin tones and design intentions. The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with setting recommendations and design options to ensure the finished piece responds to the wearer’s complexion and lifestyle needs.
