The Little Windows ring by Alex Sepkus features Montana's own personal treasures: the Yogo sapphires. Paired with round brilliant diamonds and the intricate micro-texturing technique that built Sepkus' reputation, this ring shows off the designer's signature style at its best.
Yogo sapphires come from Yogo Gulch, tucked into the Little Belt Mountains of Central Montana. Their cornflower blue is famously consistent and rare, and these sapphires are natural in color, with no heat treatment, which is a big part of why collectors seek them out specifically. Paired against warm yellow gold, the sapphires read clean and vivid, while the diamond accents throw in small flashes of brilliance around them.
All of the elements come together in a piece with real intrigue and quiet elegance. Consider it a remembrance from your adventures in the Big Sky State, or a reminder to come plan your next visit.
