This 1.16 carat parti sapphire brings natural blue and yellow together in a single Australian stone, cut into a fancy rectangle star fantasy cut by Brett Kosnar right here in Colorado. It measures 7.90 by 5.10mm, and its concave precision faceting holds an even brightness that carries from many angles. Because the star fantasy cut sits shallow, the stone shows a larger face per carat than a standard cut. The visible price is $2,400.

The parti coloring shifts between blue and yellow across the gem, so the stone reads a little differently depending on how the light lands. This is a natural, Australian-mined sapphire, and at a 9 on the Mohs scale it is plenty hard for daily wear. Set low, the fantasy cut can also sit more securely against the finger.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each one is set into an engagement ring or a custom project designed with you, built by Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado. If you love this parti sapphire, we can pair it with one of our engagement rings or design something entirely your own.

What is a star fantasy cut?

Is sapphire tough enough for daily wear?

Yes. Sapphire is a 9 on the Mohs scale, which is plenty for everyday wear. Diamond is a 10 and about four times harder, but sapphire still stands up well to daily life.

Can I buy this stone on its own?
