3.35 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

This 3.35 carat oval bluish green sapphire presents precise proportions and a restrained, technical beauty. Measuring 10.86 by 7.38 by 5.42 millimeters, the gem exhibits a length to width ratio of approximately 1.47, and a depth of approximately 50 percent, dimensions that favor elegant face up presence while preserving internal volume for strong light return. The mixed brilliant cut employed here combines a faceted crown with brilliant style pavilion facets and a more structured pavilion, producing a lively scintillation pattern across the table and a controlled depth that enhances the medium color intensity. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, with small, well distributed inclusions that do not compromise transparency, and the excellent polish yields crisp facet junctions and high surface finish. The stone is completely natural, with no enhancement reported, and its Montana origin contributes to the characteristic bluish green hue that sits between true teal and soft ocean green, making the piece a rare untreated example with consistent color across typical lighting conditions.

For custom work this sapphire responds exceptionally well to settings that prioritize both light performance and color contrast. A four prong head or a low bezel with minimal metal coverage will maximize the brilliant crown reflections, while a raised cathedral profile will allow more light into the pavilion and increase perceived brilliance. For metal choices, white metals such as platinum or palladium will emphasize the cooler bluish green tones and contrast the medium intensity, whereas yellow gold or rose gold will introduce warm counterpoint and subtly shift perceived color toward green. Complementary gemstones that enhance the sapphire include small round brilliant diamonds for a bright halo, which will elevate face up brightness and add pinpoint scintillation, and tapered baguette or step cut side stones to echo the oval geometry and emphasize the length to width ratio. For color harmonies, deep green tsavorite garnets will intensify the green component, mint tourmalines or pale aquamarines will produce a layered tonal gradient, and smaller teal sapphires will create a cohesive monochromatic suite. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can develop technical design details such as halo sizing, shoulder proportions, and prong placement to protect the slightly included pavilion while maximizing optical performance, please contact us to discuss precise setting dimensions and CAD options for a finished piece that balances durability and brilliance.
