This listing presents one transparent 1.03 carat round bluish green sapphire, with dimensions of 6.04 by 6.10 by 3.76 mm. The stone is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that balances face up brilliance with depth of color, and it has an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level. The color exhibits an intense bluish green saturation that shifts subtly with viewing angle, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and strong light return. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement, and its documented origin is Kenya. The proportions and pavilion depth provide a pleasing table presentation and a compact profile suitable for a variety of settings, making this gem a versatile choice for both modern and classic designs. The Natural Sapphire Company provides this gem with clear specification for use in custom work where consistent color and finish are priorities.
For a custom piece, this sapphire pairs well with complementary stones that either contrast to emphasize its unique bluish green tone, or harmonize to reinforce a cool green palette. A halo of small white diamonds will increase perceived size, add scintillation, and create a crisp contrast that elevates the sapphire's color when set in white metal such as platinum or white gold. For a warmer contrast, a thin bezel or fine prong setting in 18 karat yellow gold will bring out the green facets and lend a vintage sensibility, while rose gold offers a softer, more contemporary warmth. For a monochromatic ensemble, small mint green sapphires or tsavorite garnets in graduated sizes can be used as side stones to create a seamless green field that enhances depth without overpowering the center gem. For architectural designs, tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders provide a clean, linear counterpoint to the round mixed brilliant cut, and micro pavé along the gallery will add sparkle without detracting from the center stone. Consider a low profile four prong setting for daily wear, or a raised halo for maximum presence in a pendant. In all configurations, the combination of intense color, eye clean clarity, and excellent polish will ensure that the sapphire remains the focal point of a refined custom piece, as offered by The Natural Sapphire Company.
