Sapphire - Rectangle StarBrite™ Cut - 1.09ct
This 1.09ct natural blue sapphire is a Montana-mined center stone, faceted in the StarBrite™ cut by gem cutter John Dyer. At $2,400, it carries a mine-traceable US origin and the soft gradient color Montana sapphires are known for. The rectangle cut measures 5.90 by 5.10mm, with concave precision faceting that holds an even brightness as your hand moves and the light shifts.
Because the StarBrite cut is shaped shallow, this sapphire shows a larger face per carat than a standard-cut stone of the same weight, and it can sit lower and more securely once it is set. Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each sapphire is set into an engagement ring or a custom project designed with you, so this stone becomes the heart of a finished piece rather than a purchase you have to figure out on your own.
Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado work with you to choose the metal, whether platinum or 10k, 14k, or 18k gold, and to build a design around the stone. If you are drawn to this sapphire, reach out to start the conversation, or browse the rest of the engagement rings for ideas.
