2.72 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

This cushion shape bluish green sapphire weighs 2.72 carat, and measures 8.56 by 7.53 by 4.45 millimeters, a proportion that yields a comfortable presence on the finger while preserving the gemological characteristics collectors prize. The material is transparent, with a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and exhibits vivid color intensity with a deep bluish green hue that is typical of select Montana material. This sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement technique used to develop saturation and remove silk, and it is finished with an excellent polish that allows the surface facets to deliver crisp reflective return. Sourced from Montana and offered through The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone presents a combination of natural origin, controlled enhancement, and precise finishing that makes it suitable for high quality bespoke work.

The cutting is where this sapphire distinguishes itself, it has a mixed brilliant cut adapted to a cushion outline, with a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown and a modified step style on portions of the pavilion to balance scintillation and color concentration. The result is a dynamic interplay of broad flashes and lively pinfire scintillation across the table and crown facets, while the pavilion faceting is sculpted to return light efficiently and reduce windowing. With a vertical measurement of 4.45 millimeters against an average girdle diameter of approximately 8.05 millimeters, the depth is near fifty five point three percent, a proportion that preserves face up color saturation without sacrificing brilliance. The cutter maintained clean facet junctions and consistent symmetry, and the excellent polish minimizes surface diffusion of light, enabling crisp facet contrast that enhances the gem s perceived brightness even in moderate illumination.

From a color and clarity perspective this sapphire is noteworthy for its vivid bluish green tone, a balance between blue leaning teal and green leaning teal that remains saturated across the table and into the pavilion, indicating effective material homogeneity. Slight inclusions are present at eye level, they are characteristic of natural Montana material and in this instance they sit unobtrusively within the facet architecture, they do not compromise durability and in some viewing angles they create attractive internal character that can contribute to the gem s overall personality. The heat treatment applied to this piece is conventional and stable under normal wear conditions, its purpose was to optimize color uniformity and to enhance the stone s transparency, and the combination of natural origin and responsible treatment provides a transparent basis for valuation. The cutting philosophy prioritized color retention and light return equally, which is apparent when the stone is viewed in person where the vivid color is animated by lively brilliance and measured contrast.

As a centerpiece this 2.72 carat cushion sapphire is versatile and commanding, it lends itself to a variety of settings from a classic four prong ring that exposes the girdle to light, to a bezel that emphasizes the gem s pillowed silhouette, to an elegant halo setting that amplifies perceived size and contrast. For custom design The Natural Sapphire Company recommends mounting strategies that protect the girdle and pavilion while allowing the crown facets to receive direct light, screw in or flush settings should be planned to avoid pressure points on the pavilion, and metal choices such as platinum or 18 carat gold will complement the vivid bluish green tone while providing long term security. This sapphire s combination of precise mixed brilliant cutting, excellent polish, vivid coloration, and verified Montana origin positions it as a collector grade center stone, one that will act as an immediate focal point in a high end jewelry project and that will perform well under inspection and in photographic reproduction. For buyers who prioritize technical refinement and visual impact The Natural Sapphire Company offers this stone as an exceptional option to become the defining element of a bespoke piece, and our gemologists can provide further viewing notes and mounting recommendations tailored to preserve and enhance its brilliance.
