0.76 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

At The Natural Sapphire Company this exceptional, transparent 0.76 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire is presented as a jewel for the discerning collector, a rare offering that will place its owner among a select few. Measuring 5.20 x 5.14 x 3.52 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this stone combines purity of material with masterful cutting. Its intense color intensity is deep and alive, the polish is excellent, and importantly, there is no enhancement, an increasingly uncommon attribute that confirms the gem is wholly natural. Originating from the storied deposits of Madagascar, this sapphire carries provenance that collectors recognize and appreciate, and because pieces of this caliber are scarce, it is an opportunity to acquire something truly singular.

The structure of this cushion sapphire is the secret of its unparalleled sparkle, the result of precise geometry and the innate optical properties of corundum working together. The mixed brilliant cut marries larger, elegant crown facets with a carefully faceted pavilion, creating a dynamic interplay of light that yields both broad, velvety flashes and pinprick scintillation. Light enters through the polished crown, travels through the transparent interior with minimal obstruction due to the very very slight inclusions, and is returned with intense fire and brilliance, the intensity of color enhancing contrast so that each flash appears more vivid. The cushion outline softens angles, directing reflections across the face in a sophisticated way that flat cuts cannot emulate, while the exacting facet junctions ensure optimal light return and lively movement as the stone is viewed from different angles. The result is a gem that seems to breathe with light, displaying an extraordinarily lively personality in both daylight and artificial light, and when set, it commands attention without shouting, it rewards long, private study, and it confirms ownership of a rare, bespoke treasure.
