1.68ct Orange Montana Sapphire Fancy Shield

This intense bright orange Montana Sapphire radiates with color and presence in a compact, perfectly balanced form. Cut by American cutter Barbara Thomas into an elegant fancy shield shape, it pairs a delicate and unusual faceted crown with a step-cut pavilion, creating a structured yet luminous presence in hand. Measuring 8.6 x 8.5mm and weighing 1.68 carats, this sapphire is near eye clean, with two delicate fingerprint inclusions visible with a loupe, speaking to its natural formation. Treated with heat-only by our team, it stands as a true one-of-a-kind example of the vibrant, distinctive oranges that Montana can produce.
