0.63 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

Few gemstones carry the weight of history and the quiet authority of tradition in the way a classic sapphire does, and this pear shaped bluish green sapphire is a small but potent example of that continuity. Its teardrop silhouette speaks to centuries of jewelry design, a shape favored by royal courts and craftsmen for its graceful balance between elongation and focal brilliance. For those who treasure legacy and lineage, this gem is an invitation to participate in a lineage of adornment that stretches back through antiquity, when sapphires were prized not only for their color but for their association with protection, wisdom, and enduring value. The softly blended bluish green hue of this stone evokes the meeting of sky and sea, a color that reads as both refined and alive, and that will sit within a setting as comfortably in a modern gallery as it would in an antique locket passed down through generations.

Beneath that timeless silhouette lies a carefully considered geometric language, executed in a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes the dialogue between light and stone. The mixed brilliant approach combines the scintillation of triangular and kite facets with the depth and contrast of pavilion faceting, creating a lattice that captures light at multiple angles and returns it as lively flashes of brilliance and subtle flashes of color. The pear shape enhances this effect, focusing light toward the point and the rounded end in a way that gives movement to every tilt of the hand. The precise angles and proportions of the facets act like a miniature architecture, each plane designed to catch, refract, and release light, allowing the bluish green tones to shift from cool aquatic greens to warmer teal flashes under different lights. This geometric faceting is not merely decorative, it is functional, and it allows maximum light play for a gem that will seem to change and breathe as it catches the surrounding world.

Measured and graded with the care expected from a trusted source, this sapphire weighs 0.63 carat and measures 6.81 x 4.13 x 2.97 mm, dimensions that make it ideal for a refined solitaire or as the centerpiece of a more intricate design. It has a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that while it retains a natural character, the inclusions are discreet and do not distract from the gem s overall transparency and luminous performance. The color registers as medium intense in color intensity, a balance that allows the bluish green personality of the stone to be both present and versatile for a range of metals and design contexts. The polish is excellent, a finishing touch that ensures each facet meets the eye with crisp edges and mirror like surfaces that enhance the stone s reflective play. This sapphire has been heat treated to enhance its color, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that brings out the gem s finest visual qualities while preserving its natural integrity. Originating from Madagascar, a source known for producing sapphires with unique and desirable hues, this gem carries with it the story of place, of the earth and skilled hands that brought it to light.
