1.05 Ct. Reddish Orange Sapphire from Montana

One beautiful transparent 1.05 carat oval shape reddish orange sapphire, measuring 6.38 x 5.33 x 3.39 mm, is a striking example of nature meeting precision cutting. This gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, which combines a refined pavilion faceting scheme with a brilliant style crown to maximize scintillation and lively return of light. Evaluated at eye level, the stone carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included, offering a clean window into its vivid color intensity with only the most minute inclusions visible under close inspection. The polish is excellent, yielding a smooth, glossy surface that enhances the stone face up and in profile. The sapphire is heat treated, a well established and stable enhancement that intensifies the warm reddish orange hue while preserving the gem integrity. Originating from Montana, this sapphire displays the distinctive tonal warmth and character that collectors and designers often seek when they want a color beyond the more commonly seen blues. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem is offered with the kind of photographic and descriptive transparency that lets you appreciate its dimensions, depth, and the way it catches light from every angle.

Compared to other gems on the market this Montana reddish orange sapphire occupies a unique niche, bridging the fiery appeal of garnet tones with the durable brilliance and prestige of sapphire. Unlike typical blue sapphires which can be more ubiquitous, or spinels which may match color but not hardness, this stone offers an uncommon palette that reads as both luxurious and fresh. In its size class one point zero five carat, it presents a generous face up area thanks to its oval shape and optimal proportions, making it an exceptional choice for rings where visual impact matters. The mixed brilliant cut is superior to basic step or shallow cuts because it balances flash and depth, providing both lively sparkle and apparent color saturation. When compared to other heat treated stones in the market, this gem stands out because the treatment enhances rather than masks the natural Montana character, and the excellent polish preserves both table brightness and facet crispness. For buyers who weigh clarity alongside color, the very very slightly included grade gives confidence that the stone will read clean to the eye, while retaining natural inclusions that testify to its origin and authenticity. In short, for customers deciding between similar price points, this sapphire offers a rare combination of vivid, warm color, professional cutting, and a provenance that elevates it above mass market alternatives.

Investing in this sapphire is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, and in the enduring story of a gem that can be enjoyed for generations.
