This 1.43 carat parti sapphire carries blue and yellow together in one oval stone, faceted in the star fantasy cut. Priced at $3,400, it is a natural, Australia-mined sapphire measuring 9.10 x 5.90mm, cut in Colorado by Brett Kosnar of Kosnar Gems. A parti sapphire like this one blends more than one color across a single gem, so the face shifts between cool blue and warm yellow as the light moves.

The star fantasy cut uses concave precision faceting for even brightness that holds from many angles, so the stone stays bright when your hand tilts and turns. Cut shallow, it shows a larger face per carat than a standard sapphire, and it can sit lower and more securely in a setting. At a 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire is plenty durable for daily wear as a center stone.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each gem is set into an engagement ring, or built into a custom project designed with you. Heather and her team work from Boulder, Colorado, and this sapphire suits their Stellaris, Arcadia, Olympia, and Sagitta settings in platinum or 10, 14, or 18k gold. See how it could become one of our engagement rings.
