0.98 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

There is a quiet sea in this little gem, a whisper of lagoon and evening sky captured and polished into an oval of light, a transparent 0.98 carat bluish green sapphire that seems to hold a tide within its heart. Its dimensions are 6.89 by 5.18 by 3.26 millimeters, a compact world shaped by a mixed brilliant cut that scatters starlight with every turn. The color reads as medium intense, a tender meeting of blue and green that shifts like a thought, sometimes azure and at other moments seafoam, depending on the light and the angle of the gaze. Clarity is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, small secrets of the earth that only add character and proof of origin. The polish is excellent, a mirror smoothness that allows the stone to breathe and glow, and a measured heat treatment has coaxed the color to sing. This sapphire comes from Madagascar, a land of mineral mystery, and it carries in its facets the quiet provenance that collectors and lovers seek, a gemstone that promises both story and substance from The Natural Sapphire Company.

Imagine this stone set at the center of a ring that reads like a sonnet, its oval silhouette cradled by a slender band that lifts it into the light. A classic solitaire setting in platinum or white gold will emphasize the cool bluish greens, letting the mixed brilliant cut sparkle like a lantern. A halo of tiny diamonds will turn that flicker into a halo of constellations, the surrounding pavé giving the eye room to dance. For a vintage mood, picture a low bezel setting in warm rose gold, its smooth rim giving the stone an antique tenderness and protecting the delicate girdle for everyday wear. Three stone designs ask for a companion on either side, perhaps tapered baguettes for architecture, or small round sapphires for chromatic continuity. A split shank will frame the oval with open light, elongating the finger and creating a ribbon of metal that whispers rather than shouts. Each of these settings changes the sapphire’s personality, from bold and solitary to intimate and ornate, and each is possible when you begin with this 0.98 carat jewel from The Natural Sapphire Company.

Beyond the ring, the possibilities unfold like petals, each setting offering a new voice for the same heart of stone. Suspended as a pendant on a delicate chain, the oval sapphire becomes a talisman, its medium intense color catching breath and reflection with movement, a private horizon resting at the throat. In earrings the gem can pair with a mirror twin for quiet symmetry, or it can sit as a solitary drop, catching sunbeams with every turn of the head. Consider a three gem linear pendant that plays with scale, or a halo earring that frames the center with diamond light for evening glamour. For the wrist, this sapphire can be set into a refined station bracelet, each link telling part of a story, or it can anchor a more modern cuff, bezel set for security and comfort. Cluster rings and cocktail pieces allow artisans to combine this bluish green sapphire with pink sapphires, yellow sapphires, or champagne diamonds, creating landscapes of color that are as personalized as the wearer. Even signet rings or men’s cufflinks can be graced by this oval stone, its modest size lending dignity and distinction without pretension. The mixed brilliant cut, with its balanced arrangement of facets, makes it especially versatile, flattering in both low settings and raised profiles, capable of both subtlety and display.

When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, you choose a beginning rather than a finished sentence, a gem meant to be imagined into countless designs. Our artisans can propose prong settings that maximize light, or secure bezels for a life lived without fear of knocks and dings, and we will guide you through metal choices that harmonize with the bluish green hue, from the pale fire of platinum to the warm embrace of rose or yellow gold. We recommend simple daily care to preserve its excellent polish, gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water, and professional inspection if the piece is worn often, because sapphires, second only to diamond for hardness, are wonderfully suited to everyday life and to heirloom legacies. For those who seek deeper personalization, consider hand engraved bands, hidden halos that reveal a secret sparkle, or complementary side stones chosen for symbolism and balance. Our team at The Natural Sapphire Company delights in translating dreams into wearable art, helping you decide proportions, accents, and the precise mount that will turn this 0.98 carat oval from Madagascar into a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings that speak of commitment, memory, and quiet beauty. Choose to make it your own, and let this bluish green sapphire become a living poem, set and cherished for the seasons of a life together.
