0.97 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Africa

A singular opportunity awaits the collector who seeks quiet distinction and refined rarity, a jewel reserved for those who understand the power of near perfection in a compact form. This is a transparent blue sapphire weighing 0.97 carat, a weight that speaks directly to rarity and premium quality. At just shy of one carat this sapphire embodies the sweet spot between everyday wearability and investment grade desirability, fitting effortlessly into an elite circle of gems that command attention without ostentation. The weight of 0.97 carat signals a considered choice by connoisseurs who appreciate that true value is found in proportion and presence, where carat weight complements cut and color to create an enduring statement. This is not a commonplace stone, it is a rare parcel of nature, shaped and polished for the discerning collector who expects more than ordinary beauty.

The gem is fashioned in an emerald cut, a shape that magnifies the stone s clarity and delivers an architectural grace that few other cuts can match. Measuring 7.04 x 3.92 x 3.39 mm, its elongated proportions sit perfectly in contemporary settings and classic styles alike, offering a linear elegance that flatters both rings and bespoke pieces. The cut places emphasis on long, clean facets that reveal depth and a refined play of light, ideal for a gem with medium color intensity where tone and saturation are in measured balance. Clarity is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, meaning the stone reads as transparent and clean to the unaided eye, with its minor internal characteristics contributing to its natural identity without detracting from sparkle. The polish has been graded excellent, ensuring each facet reflects light with crisp clarity and that the overall finish speaks of meticulous craftsmanship and exacting standards.

This sapphire originates from Africa, a source known for producing stones with distinct character and a soulful palette. The gem has undergone heat treatment, a common and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and improves color and clarity while maintaining the integrity of the natural material. For the collector who demands provenance, we provide transparent documentation and stewardship through every step of the acquisition, affirming both origin and treatment. The combination of African origin, skilled heat treatment, and an expert emerald cut results in a gem that feels purposeful and refined, a piece that carries geographical story and human care in equal measure. Because such stones are uncommon and sought after, this sapphire will appeal to those who value exclusivity, those who prefer a curated selection of gems rather than mass produced options.
