2.78 Ct. Green Sapphire from Montana

This 2.78 carat cushion shape green sapphire presents a carefully considered combination of proportion, color, and polish, ready to occupy a central role in fine jewelry. The stone measures 8.11 x 6.70 x 5.38 mm, and is faceted in a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation and depth of color. Transparency is high, and the clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that do not detract from overall visual performance. Color is described as a vibrant green with medium intensity, producing a lively presence that is neither weak nor overpowering, and the polish is excellent, contributing to clean facet junctions and a refined surface luster. This sapphire is natural, without enhancement, and originates from Montana, a source known for producing stones with distinctive tones and honest character. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire with documentation of its key attributes, supporting informed decisions for design and setting.

The gem’s vibrant green hue will stand out in any jewelry setting because the mixed brilliant cut is engineered to maximize both light return and color saturation. The pavilion facet design creates internal reflections that animate the green color under a variety of lighting conditions, while the crown facets broaden the play of light, resulting in lively flashes and a consistently appealing face up appearance. Because the stone is transparent and has a medium color intensity, it responds well to open settings that allow light to enter and exit freely, enhancing perceived brightness and depth. In a prong set ring, the gemstone will read as a vivid focal point, drawing the eye to its color and faceting. In a bezel set pendant, the cushion silhouette will offer a classic, elegant profile that showcases the gem while providing secure protection. Slight inclusions observed at eye level are typical for natural sapphires from this region, they contribute to the stone’s provenance and individuality, and they are positioned and sized in a manner that has minimal effect on brilliance and durability.

Practical considerations for designers and clients include the stone weight and dimensions for planning gallery height, prong placement, and complementary accent stones. At 8.11 x 6.70 x 5.38 mm, this cushion sapphire is well suited to center stone roles in rings, pendants, and larger stud or drop earring designs, and it will also perform effectively as an elegant statement accent in multi stone compositions. The hardness and toughness of corundum control the gem’s suitability for everyday wear, making this sapphire appropriate for frequently worn pieces when set with secure mountings. Metal choice will influence visual outcome, yellow or rose gold will introduce a warm contrast that can deepen the perception of green, while white gold or platinum will create a cooler, contemporary presentation that emphasizes brightness and clarity. Pairing this green sapphire with colorless diamonds or with subtle melee in near colorless tones will increase perceived size and sparkle without competing with the core hue. The Natural Sapphire Company provides detailed measurements and, upon request, supplementary images and reports to assist bench planning and final design approval, ensuring the stone integrates predictably into the intended jewelry setting.
