1.05 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Africa

The Natural Sapphire Company presents a fine example of gemstone craftsmanship with our exquisite 1.05 carat pear shape greenish blue sapphire. This particular sapphire, originating from Africa, exemplifies the pinnacle of faceting precision, maximizing its captivating interplay between color and light. Measuring at 7.95 x 4.92 x 3.49 mm, this gemstone features a mixed brilliant cut. This cut is a masterful combination of both step and brilliant faceting styles. Each facet has been meticulously calculated to enhance the sapphire's natural luster and brilliance.

In gemstone appraisal, the cut is a crucial factor that significantly influences a stone's brilliance and overall aesthetic appeal. The mixed brilliant cut employed in this sapphire skillfully optimizes the reflection and refraction of light within the gemstone. By employing a series of strategically placed facets, this cut not only enhances the intensity of the greenish blue hues but also creates a dazzling display of scintillation. The brilliance is most evident when the gemstone is viewed under both direct light and ambient settings where the light bounces through the sapphire's internal angles, resulting in a mesmerizing shimmer that captures the eye.

The facet orientation in the pear shape is specifically designed to draw light into the stone. The tip of the pear acts as a point of entry for light. Then it refracts and reflects across the stone's surfaces, culminating in the wide base that erupts with luminous brilliance. This configuration amplifies the sapphire's inherent properties. Studio lighting and natural sunlight reveal the vibrancy of its intense color intensity, a characteristic that makes it highly sought after. The confluence of the stone's clarity grade and its meticulous polish ensures the absence of any surface blemishes or unwanted reflections, permitting unhindered visual access to the gemstone's internal world.

Color grading in sapphires is another critical element understood by connoisseurs and collectors alike. This sapphire’s intense color intensity is a testament to the gemstone's high-quality crystal structure and intrinsic value. The slightly bluish overtones running through its vivid green hue are accentuated by expert faceting. Our artisans have preserved its natural saturation, showcasing the depths of color achieved through expert polishing techniques. This exceptional polish not only ensures a smooth and lustrous surface but also enhances light penetration and reflection, contributing to the stone's brilliant play of chromatic light.
