Unique Custom Designs
In earlier years at Green Lake, anyone specifically interested in Montana sapphires was your typical gem and mineral enthusiast, who would oftentimes provide stones they found on their own to be set. Nowadays, however, it’s not uncommon for first-time fine jewelry buyers to ask for these sapphires by name. Perhaps with so much information at one’s fingertips, it’s easy to get lost in all the unique and even obscure options available when it comes to tying the knot — and for many, gone are the days of strictly traditional diamond solitaires.
Vintage-Inspired Elegance
Timeless charm meets intricate craftsmanship. These rings channel the elegance of bygone eras with delicate filigree, milgrain details, and heirloom-style settings that feel rich with history.
A ring is symbolic of the sacred bond between couples and uniquely representative of the people who wear them.

Multi-Stone
More than just a centerpiece—these rings tell a fuller story. Featuring multiple Montana sapphires or complementary accent stones, each design plays with color, symmetry, and balance
Halos
A timeless touch of brilliance. These halo designs surround the Montana sapphire with a circle of shimmering diamonds or gems, enhancing the center stone’s color, size, and sparkle.
Rose Cuts
There’s an implicitly rustic appeal to Montana sapphires. Maybe it’s because we can envision where they come from — the steely blue mountains, swaying cottonwood trees and boundless sky inspire settings and ring designs more reflective of the natural world. So much so, some clients actually elect to keep their center stones rough and untouched, save for a flattened bottom to set. Others may have their sapphire cut, but with fewer facets than a contemporary gem, relying instead on rose or old-mine facet arrangements to capture a timeless elegance without being too fussy.
Rustic and understated isn’t the only way to wear a Montana sapphire, though. Don’t rule these gems out of more traditional settings — some were just meant to be set in an over-the-top, princessy ring!
