0.39 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This exquisite transparent blue sapphire weighs 0.39 carat, a carat weight that reflects a premium balance between presence and precision, and it measures 5.93 by 3.75 by 2.18 mm, proportions that are ideal for an elegant oval presentation. At 0.39 carat this sapphire occupies a sweet spot in the market, large enough to show depth and presence on the finger, yet small enough to exhibit exceptional color saturation per carat, which is often diluted in larger, lower grade material. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize return of light through the table while preserving the oval silhouette, and the excellent polish allows scintillation and lively reflections even under modest lighting. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity tier that is noteworthy for sapphires with intense color intensity, because many stones with comparable saturation will show more obvious inclusions at similar magnifications. The stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that intensifies the rich blue tones, and its origin in Madagascar contributes to its desirability, as Madagascan sapphires are renowned for deep, velvety blues that sit between classic Ceylon brightness and Kashmir depth.

Compared to other sapphires available on the market this 0.39 carat oval stands out for its exceptional color to weight ratio, an important metric for discerning buyers. Many sellers offer larger carat weights with washed out or uneven color that require heavier settings to appear visually strong, which increases metal cost and can overshadow the gemstone. Conversely, smaller pavé or accent stones frequently lack the clarity and cut refinement seen here. This sapphire’s intense color intensity at sub half carat weight means it performs like a larger, more costly stone when mounted, delivering the visual impact of a bigger gem without the price escalation associated with true larger carat sizes. The mixed brilliant cut differentiates it from standard step or simple faceted ovals, offering a more lively and modern sparkle that competes favorably against comparable stones that prioritize carat weight over optical performance. The grade of very very slightly included at eye level further elevates its standing, because it assures the buyer of a clean appearance in everyday wear, a feature not always present in stones of similar hue sourced from more commercial channels.

For a buyer focused on long term value and distinctive beauty the provenance and treatment of this sapphire are crucial selling points, and The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem within a framework of responsible sourcing and professional grading. Madagascan origin gives this stone a provenance narrative that is currently fashionable and respected among connoisseurs, and the heat treatment applied is disclosed, stable, and standard practice to achieve the intense blue that collectors and designers seek. When comparing price per carat across the market you will find that a high color intensity 0.39 carat sapphire, cut and polished to these standards, offers superior cost efficiency relative to larger, less saturated stones where you pay for weight but sacrifice color and clarity. In custom jewelry design this sapphire will read as a premium center stone in delicate solitaire and halo settings, and it will sit attractively in three stone and bypass styles where its oval length of 5.93 mm provides elegance without overpowering the finger. Its depth of 2.18 mm indicates a well balanced pavilion, supporting durability and secure setting, while the length to width relationship produces a classic oval silhouette that flatters a variety of mounting styles.

Choosing this 0.39 carat oval blue sapphire means selecting a gem that combines optimal carat weight, intense color intensity, and precise craftsmanship, a combination that is frequently sought but rarely found at this level of refinement. The natural transparency, excellent polish, and the mixed brilliant cut work together to make each movement of the hand release flashes of blue that read as richer than the numerical carat alone might suggest, and importantly the very very slightly included clarity grade reassures buyers that the gemstone will maintain a clean, premium look in everyday wear.
