0.38 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Thailand

This bluish green oval sapphire began its journey beneath the tropical soils and crystalline bedrock of Thailand, a landscape where heat and pressure coax corundum into color and life. Weathered out of its matrix and recovered by experienced hands, the rough was entrusted to a master cutter who revealed its inner fire. The transformation from raw crystal to a transparent 0.38 carat gem is a small miracle of proportion and skill, each facet placed to balance brilliance and depth. The gem measures 4.90 x 3.85 x 2.27 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut allows a play of light that highlights both the gem's intense color intensity and its excellent polish. With a clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, and with no enhancement, this sapphire carries an honest, natural character that reflects its Thai origin and the care taken at every stage of its creation.

In hand the stone sits with refined elegance, a compact oval that offers surprising presence for its 0.38 carat weight. The bluish green hue shifts with viewing angle and light, revealing cooler teal notes and warmer green undertones when tilted, a trait that lends versatility to design. The mixed brilliant facet arrangement maximizes scintillation, while precise girdle proportions and a well formed pavilion maintain balance and durability. The very slightly included clarity means that the gem looks clean to the eye, while retaining microscopic traces of formation that make it a true natural specimen. The excellent polish enhances the surface luster and ensures that the sapphire will gleam in every setting without the need for treatments or enhancements.

This gem is ideal for customization into a wide variety of jewelry settings, from a delicate bezel that showcases the oval silhouette, to a four or six prong solitaire that emphasizes light return and durability. Consider a halo of tiny diamonds to increase apparent size and add contrast, or a three stone design paired with tapered baguettes for vintage inspired elegance. For everyday wear choose a low profile bezel or flush set in 18 karat yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum. For a modern statement try a tension ring that suspends the oval with open sides, or a bespoke pendant that allows the color to drift with movement. At The Natural Sapphire Company our design team can create hand drawn concepts, CAD renderings, and sample settings to help you visualize the finished piece, ensuring that this Thai sapphire becomes a personalized heirloom that tells both its geological story and your own.
