0.56 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This greenish blue sapphire from Madagascar carries with it a sense of antiquity and quiet dignity that speaks to the long history of sapphire use in jewelry and regalia, a history that spans continents and centuries. At 0.56 carat and measuring 5.49 by 4.20 by 2.98 mm, this oval gem adopts a mixed brilliant cut that balances classic proportions with contemporary light performance, producing lively scintillation and a refined face up brilliance. Its medium color intensity allows the green and blue tones to shift gently with movement and light, offering a versatile hue that sits beautifully between the coolness of blue and the verdant whisper of green. The excellent polish enhances the sapphire surface, allowing each facet to mirror light cleanly and to reveal the gem with clarity and poise, qualities that align with the longstanding tradition of sapphires as symbols of wisdom, fidelity, and eternal beauty.

What makes this sapphire uniquely yours is not only its hue and cut, but the internal character that it carries, the natural inclusions that act as its fingerprint. Evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, the stone remains highly transparent while containing tiny internal features that attest to its natural origin and geological journey. These inclusions are not flaws in the cosmetic sense, they are signatures formed as the sapphire grew deep within the earth, minute markers of temperature, pressure, and time. Viewed under magnification they may appear as small crystals or delicate veils, each one contributing to the gem life story, creating subtle contrasts that animate the stone and enrich its depth. For the collector and the romantic alike, these internal features provide authenticity and character, qualities that mass produced or synthetic stones cannot replicate.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate stones that embody lineage and craftsmanship, and this heat treated Madagascar sapphire is offered with transparency and respect for its origins. Heat treatment is a traditional and widely accepted enhancement used to gently refine color and clarity, making the sapphire more pleasing to the eye while preserving the fundamental character of the gem. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish make this gem especially suited to classic settings that honour time worn design, settings such as a simple bezel that echoes antique restraint, a four or six prong solitaire that allows light to breathe through the pavilion, or a vintage inspired halo that frames the oval with a ring of fire. Whether set into an engagement ring destined to become an heirloom, crafted into a pendant that will be worn close to the heart, or added to a collection as a study in natural beauty, this greenish blue sapphire will age gracefully, its slight inclusions and warm origin story deepening with every passing year, a testament to the enduring allure of natural gems.
