0.41 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.41 carat cushion shaped blue sapphire combines precise cutting and measured proportions, resulting in a refined and wearable gemstone. The stone measures 4.77 x 3.49 x 2.58 mm, and is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation with depth. Clarity has been graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which maintains a clean visual appearance while retaining natural character. The polish is excellent, giving a smooth, reflective surface that complements the mixed faceting, and the stone has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement. The sapphire originates from Madagascar, and its transparency and finish are consistent with fine material from that source.

The sapphire displays a medium color intensity, a vibrancy that ensures it will stand out in any jewelry setting. The blue exhibits a balanced saturation that reads richly against both warm and cool metal tones, creating striking contrast in yellow gold settings and a crisp, contemporary look in white gold or platinum. The mixed brilliant cut enhances internal light return, producing flashes of brightness across the cushion profile, while the excellent polish allows those flashes to present cleanly. Despite the modest 0.41 carat weight, the depth of color and thoughtful cutting allow this gem to hold visual presence, making it suitable as the central stone in a refined, delicate ring, or as an elegant accent in a multi stone composition.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire with clear, factual information to support informed selection. The combination of Madagascar origin, mixed brilliant faceting, very very slightly included clarity at eye level, and excellent polish delivers a gem that is versatile and dependable in workmanship. Heat treatment has been applied to improve color uniformity, and the result is a stable, enduring hue that will perform consistently with normal wear. For jewelry settings where color presence and clean light performance are priorities, this cushion blue sapphire provides a measured balance of size, saturation, and finishing quality.
