Description
This beautiful all-natural Montana sapphire is a gorgeous sky blue color; one of my favorite colors found in Montana sapphires. Like most unheated Montana sapphires, the color shifts depending on the lighting, shifting more towards a blue-green in daylight and some LED lights while appearing a more bright silvery blue indoors under incandescent lighting.
The gem has a light amount of rutile silk but it is not visible without a loupe. There is a tiny natural flaw on part of two facets and the girdle; its just barely visible in the image. A natural fracture opened up as I finished cutting the gem and a tiny chip came out. I decided to leave it there rather than make the gem any smaller by recutting as it will be hidden under a prong once the gem is set. I have priced the gem accordingly and as a result its a real bargain to someone who can overlook the flaw. I faceted this sapphire in a brilliant oval design that I’ve optimized for sapphire. I call the design “Testudo” as the facet pattern on the crown reminds me of a turtle’s shell. The gem weighs 1.30 carats and measures 6.7 x 5.1 x 4.5 mm; the perfect size for an engagement ring.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
