VERY PROUD TO PRESENT: Montana Sapphires! Sourced from the Rock Creek drainage in Philipsburg, MT and cut in Vancouver, WA by a family company I am absolutely psyched to be working with. These stones are mined, sourced, cut, and set in the USA.
THIS PARTICULAR set of 4mm rose cut Montana Sapphire studs are a teal-y gray blue. They are set in 14k Gold Fill and come with 14k Gold Fill ear nuts. They are exactly as pictured, in natural light.
My last batch of MT Sapphires from the cutters are absolutely gorgeous! That being said, these Sapphires are not traditional stones, and Montana is famous for producing some of the world's most gorgeous and varied colors of Sapphire in the world, including greens, yellows, pinks, periwinkle, and nearly clear. Please allow for color variation from the computer screen, but I have tried to capture this old style of rose-cut Sapphire as accurately as I possibly can in various lighting. Because these stones are rose cuts, their sparkle is the REAL intrigue if you ask me!

Gold Fill is an excellent alloy I have worked with for many years now. I've found it to be surprisingly durable and wearable, a great color match to 14k solid gold, and all at an affordable price point! This alloy is not to be confused with gold plating, which is total junk. 14k Gold FILL is a thick 14k solid gold layer on top of a brass core on all sides, and will not scratch off like plating always does. Plating is a microscopic dusting of gold over cruddy base-metal, and I never EVER use it.
