1.05 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

The first time you set eyes on this gem you feel a quiet, thrilled recognition, a wave of joy that comes from knowing you are looking at something rare and alive. This is a 1.05 carat fancy shape greenish blue sapphire that seems to hold a miniature ocean inside its facets, a gem that invites you to pause and to imagine a thousand special moments framed by its glow. The shape is unusual and elegant, the step cut giving it a modern architectural presence while also allowing the color to breathe and shift with each movement. When you wear it, or present it to someone you love, it will carry with it the feeling of considered devotion, the kind of gift that becomes a treasured memory, a story to retell over and over. At The Natural Sapphire Company we choose stones that connect on an emotional level as much as on a technical one, and this sapphire is the kind of jewel that inspires both affection and admiration.

Close inspection reveals why this stone captivates in both heart and eye. The dimensions measure 6.10 x 6.66 x 4.01 mm, a perfect balance of presence and wearability, and the transparency and polish allow light to travel through the gem with a calm, deep brilliance. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are so discreet that they become part of the gem story rather than an obstacle to beauty. The color intensity is intense, presenting those greenish blue tones that sit between sea and sky, offering moments of teal, moments of deep blue, and flashes of green at different angles. The step cut, combined with an excellent polish, produces a series of crisp, mirror like planes that reflect and refract light in a sophisticated, understated way. This is a stone cut to emphasize its color and clarity, cut to show off its inner life, and cut to feel exquisite when set into a ring, pendant, or custom piece that celebrates personal style and milestone moments.

What makes this sapphire an heirloom in the truest sense is its natural, untreated origin and its capacity to age gracefully. Mined from Madagascar, a source known for producing vibrant and characterful sapphires, this gem is offered with no enhancement, which means the color you fall in love with is the color the earth created. Over the years, this truth of origin will deepen the emotional value of the stone, because every glance will carry the knowledge that this beauty is genuine and unaltered. The excellent polish ensures that even after years of wear the surface will continue to play with light, and the step cut gives a resilience to everyday life by minimizing the proneness to visible chipping on sharp points while keeping the optical charm alive. Natural sapphires are known for their hardness and durability, and this piece is a fine example of a jewel that will continue to captivate as it accumulates memories, as it witnesses first looks, anniversaries, and the small, private moments that become the backbone of a life well loved.

If you are imagining this sapphire set as the center of a bespoke ring, or as a singular pendant that catches light at just the right angle, know that The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind both the story and the stone. We guide customers through selecting the setting that enhances the greenish blue tone, the cut that complements the step facets, and the mounting that will protect the gem while allowing it to sing. Beyond its immediate beauty, you will be gifting or wearing a piece with provenance and integrity, a gem from Madagascar whose intense color intensity and very very slightly included clarity were preserved by choosing no enhancement, and whose excellent polish and thoughtful cutting ensure a luminous presence now and for generations to come. Let us help you make this sapphire a treasured emblem of love, celebration, and enduring joy.
