This elegant ring is crafted from 14 karat yellow gold and features a .3 carat Montana Sapphire, beautifully bezel set as the centerpiece, with .14 carats of diamond accents for added brilliance. The ring is finished with a brushed texture, lending a contemporary and sophisticated touch to the overall design. Montana Sapphires, first discovered in 1865 by gold prospectors, have a storied history tied to the Montana gold rush of the 1870s, contributing to Montana's moniker as "The Treasure State." These sapphires, typically found in alluvial deposits, often display a pale color that can be enhanced through heat treatment to achieve a range of vibrant hues, with the most notable being an intense blue-green. This ring encapsulates the rich heritage and natural beauty of Montana Sapphires, making it a unique and cherished piece for those who value both history and the allure of finely crafted gemstone jewelry.
