Artifex Solitaire with Green Hexagon Sapphire & Diamonds
This is the Artifex solitaire in warm metal. A 1.45ct green hexagon-cut Montana sapphire is bezel-set in satin-finished 14k yellow gold with a round natural diamond halo, flanked by channel-set natural white diamonds along the shank. Green sapphire against yellow gold is a softer pairing than blue would be, and the ring reads more like sculpture than sparkle.
The thick-walled bezel is designed to sit high. The stone clears the finger by enough that a straight sided Artifex band nestles underneath, which is how the bridal set ends up reading as a single architectural piece. Heather built it for the person who wants clean lines and thoughtful symmetry rather than a halo of noise.
It was made once, around a stone that cannot be found again. Montana green comes out of the ground in its own shade every time, and 1.45ct in a hexagon cut is not something to be reordered. As listed, in 14k yellow gold, it is $6,630. Heather can build the same design in white or rose gold, in 18k, or in platinum, around a different stone: 4 to 6 weeks for a lab diamond, a colorless natural diamond or a stone already in Bohemi's catalog, 6 to 8 weeks if she has to source it.

All Bohemi gold is cast from grain produced from reclaimed scrap by a West Coast refiner that reclaims existing jewelry, and Fairmined gold is available on request at a premium. More on where the metal comes from.

|---|---|---|
| What it is | A straight sided plain Artifex band in the wider profile | A straight sided plain Artifex band in the narrower profile |
| How the set reads | More metal under the bezel, so the ring and band read as one solid block | A narrow line under the bezel, so the green hexagon stays the whole story |
| On the hand | More weight against the finger, and a stronger horizontal line | Lighter, and it leaves the raised bezel doing the work |
| Time to make the band | 3 to 4 weeks, since it carries no stones | 3 to 4 weeks, since it carries no stones |
| Best when | You want the bridal set to look like one designed object | You want the ring to stay the loudest thing on the hand |
