1.23 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

Sapphires have been treasured across civilizations for millennia, revered not only for their durability but also for the quiet authority of their color. From royal courts to private collections, the sapphire has carried connotations of wisdom, protection, and enduring beauty, and this Montana greenish blue pear shape sapphire continues that lineage with singular grace. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem speaks to those who appreciate heritage and the stories that gemstones convey. Its pear shape silhouette evokes classic forms found in antique jewelry, a timeless profile that flatters both traditional and modern settings, making it an heirloom that can be passed through generations. The gentle point and rounded base of the pear shape create an elegant drop that captures attention without ever feeling ostentatious, a balance that reflects both refined taste and the quiet confidence of a piece meant to endure.

At the heart of this offering is a transparent 1.23 carat sapphire with dimensions of 8.45 x 5.73 x 3.97 mm, masterfully fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that marries the depth and fire of a step cut with the scintillating facets of a brilliant cut. The result is exceptional cut and brilliance that make this stone a true centerpiece in any collection. Light enters the gem and dances through its pavilion and crown, producing flashes of lively scintillation along with broad, luminous reflections that draw the eye to the gem s intense greenish blue hue. The color registers as intense, a saturation that enhances presence without overwhelming delicacy, and the excellent polish ensures that each facet boundary is clean and precise, maximizing the stone s reflectivity. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem remains visually clean to the naked eye while retaining the natural characteristics that affirm its authenticity and origin. This sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement used to refine and enrich color, and its provenance in Montana adds a distinctive narrative to the piece. Montana sapphires are known for their unique palette and rugged provenance, and this gem captures that regional character, translating it into a wearable work of art.

When set, this pear shape Montana sapphire becomes an instant focal point, ideal for a solitary solitaire ring, a refined pendant, or an elegant pair of custom earrings. The mixed brilliant cut intensifies the gem s presence on the hand or at the throat, generating a play of light that can be both lively in movement and composed in repose. For those who cherish tradition, a classic bezel or claw setting in warm yellow gold will bring out the green undertones and emphasize the stone s vintage spirit, while a cool white metal will amplify the blue and lend a more contemporary aesthetic. From a practical perspective, the durable nature of corundum combined with the excellent polish means the gem will wear beautifully for everyday life as well as for special occasions. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem s history and craftsmanship, and we welcome collectors who value provenance, careful cutting, and thoughtful sourcing. This Montana greenish blue pear shape sapphire is more than an object of decoration, it is a piece of geological and human history cut to radiate, ready to become the centerpiece that anchors your next generation of jewelry and the stories that will accompany it.
