Stone cut by Dan at http://www.customgemstones.com/
Stone is darker teal/blue normally, amazing aqua/teal in sun and lovely purple in incandescent light.
From Dan-This sapphire weighs 1.12 carats, measures 5.44mm across the short way and is an Asscher style square emerald cut. It doesn't have quite as many rows of facets (or the excessive depth) as what I would consider a full Asscher cut, but is the same general concept. The color goes from a slightly greenish medium blue in daylight to a slghtly deeper purple under incandescent light. I'd say it has about a 90 percent color change. The stone is usually eye clean, but can show a little shimmer of golden silk under direct, bright light from just the right angle. The bit of silk is very pretty under magnification, and not distracting or very noticeable under normal viewing. Also, it is an untreated stone that is supposed to be from a place in Australia called Ruddy Creek.
Set in size 8 Lord of the Gem 14K setting with upgraded trap side stones.
