1.01 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

When you are searching for a gemstone that will answer both your aesthetic desires and your practical expectations, this transparent bluish green sapphire delivers with confidence, elegance, and provenance. This 1.01 carat emerald cut sapphire measures 5.82 by 5.18 by 3.52 mm, and offers a clean rectangular silhouette that is ideal for classic engagement ring settings, bespoke cocktail rings, or a refined collector presentation. The emerald cut brings an architectural clarity to the stone, allowing the medium intense color to play across broad step facets, while the excellent polish enhances the stone to a gem like mirror finish. For those who value natural beauty and authenticity, this sapphire is from Madagascar, and it has no enhancement, which means what you see is original, unaltered color and clarity. At eye level the clarity grade is very slightly included, a level that preserves the gem like transparency and live appearance under most lighting conditions, while still offering the character that serious collectors and sentimental buyers appreciate.

Durability is often a primary concern when choosing a stone for daily wear or for heirloom pieces, so it is important to consider hardness on the Mohs scale. Sapphire, including this bluish green example, ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, which places it just below diamond, which is 10, and above commonly used gemstones such as topaz at 8 and quartz at 7. The ranking of 9 means this sapphire resists scratches and abrasion extremely well during regular wear, and it will maintain its polished facets and crisp lines in settings that see daily use, such as engagement rings and signet styles. When set with appropriate mounting practices, this gem will stand up to life over decades, maintaining the integrity of the emerald cut and the sharpness of the pavilion, and offering peace of mind for someone who wants a blend of beauty and longevity. The hardness combined with the excellent polish make this stone a smart choice for anyone who wants an heirloom that can be worn without excessive worry about surface wear.

Color, cut, and provenance are often the deciding factors for discerning buyers, and this sapphire meets those criteria in a balanced and compelling way. The bluish green tone reads as a serene ocean green in natural daylight, and as a more teal or blue green in warmer indoor lighting, giving versatility to jewelry designs and daily wardrobes. The medium intense color intensity is lively enough to catch the eye, but tempered enough to pair with white or yellow metals, along with diamond accents, without overpowering the overall design. The emerald cut emphasizes clarity and color zoning, so the very slightly included clarity grade works in favor of a transparent appearance with subtle internal character. Because the stone is natural and untreated, it carries the kind of story that matters to collectors and to anyone who prefers naturally occurring gemstones. The Madagascar origin is notable, as that region produces sapphires with distinct color profiles and strong crystal quality. The dimensions make this gem comfortable for single stone settings, and the weight of 1.01 carat provides a noticeable presence on the finger without being unwieldy.
