0.53 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 0.53 carat round bluish green sapphire from Madagascar exemplifies the type of natural beauty and gemological integrity collectors and designers seek, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 4.64 by 4.66 by 3.21 millimeters, and it is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, a design chosen to maximize both color saturation and light performance in smaller stones. The color is described as bluish green with a medium intense saturation, a tone that reads as sophisticated and versatile in many settings, from classic solitaires to modern halo designs. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, which means that under normal viewing conditions the gem appears effectively eye clean, and the inclusions are minute and do not interrupt the stone s overall visual impact. The sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement in the trade that improves color and clarity without compromising durability, and it receives an excellent polish, so the facet boundaries are crisp and the surface finish supports maximum light return.

The mixed brilliant cut is central to how this sapphire presents itself from every angle, because it combines a brilliant style crown with a complementary pavilion geometry, yielding lively scintillation and a balanced color distribution when viewed face up or in motion. The facet arrangement works in concert with the medium intense color to produce depth without heaviness, so the bluish green tone is lively in daylight and becomes intriguingly complex under incandescent lighting, reflecting subtle teal and oceanic notes. With the eye level clarity, light travels through the stone with minimal obstruction, allowing internal reflections to form clean and dynamic patterns that emphasize the round outline. The excellent polish contributes to crisp, high contrast facet reflections, which enhances perceived brilliance and gives the stone a sharp, gemlike sheen. Because the stone is well proportioned, the pavilion depth supports return of light to the observer rather than leaking it away, and the small but precise crown and pavilion junctions create the kind of scintillation and fire that uplift a gem of this scale.

For an educated buyer, this sapphire s value is informed by its combination of origin, treatment, clarity, and cut, and The Natural Sapphire Company presents it with transparency about each attribute so you can evaluate it on technical as well as aesthetic grounds. Madagascar is a contemporary source of fine corundum, known for producing stones with attractive color ranges and stable material, and heat treatment applied to this sapphire is a standard practice used to enhance visual qualities while maintaining the inherent hardness and resilience that make sapphire suitable for everyday wear. At 0.53 carats this gem is ideal for a refined engagement ring center in minimalist mounting, a striking accent in a three stone composition, or a custom piece that capitalizes on its bluish green charm. Its very very slightly included clarity assures collectors that the inclusions will not detract from the gem s face up presence, and its excellent polish and mixed brilliant cut ensure that it performs beautifully from every viewing angle, delivering lively brilliance, pleasing scintillation, and consistent color saturation. If you are considering this sapphire for a bespoke commission or as part of a curated collection, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide further imagery and mounting recommendations, and we will ensure the gem is presented with the documentation and care guidance that reflect its gemological quality and practical desirability.
