Sapphire - Round StarBrite™ Cut - 2.36ct
Looking for a natural blue Montana sapphire for an engagement ring? This 2.36 carat light blue sapphire is US-mined and mine-traceable, cut in the round StarBrite™ cut by John Dyer. It measures 7.8mm across, and the concave precision faceting of the StarBrite cut gives it a larger face per carat with even brightness that holds from many angles as your hand moves. The visible price is $6,375.
Because a StarBrite cut runs shallow, this sapphire can sit lower and more securely in a setting, which suits daily wear. Sapphire is a 9 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for an everyday ring. It looks at home in the Sagitta knife-edge solitaire or the Olympia setting, in platinum or 10k, 14k, and 18k gold. Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own: each is set into an engagement ring or a custom project designed with you.
Heather and her team shape every piece by hand in Boulder, Colorado, and you are welcome to see this Montana sapphire in person first. Reach out to start a custom design, or browse our engagement rings to find the setting that fits it best.
