1.06 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

I invite you to consider a singular gemstone of unmistakable presence, a transparent greenish blue sapphire weighing 1.06 carats, beautifully fashioned in an emerald cut, with measurements of 6.27 by 5.26 by 3.38 millimeters. Evaluated at eye level, this gem is eye clean, an attribute of great consequence for a step cut where clarity is privileged by the architecture of the facets. The color is vivid and radiates with a refined, slightly teal leaning blue that reads as both modern and timeless. Its polish is excellent, every facet responding with a mirror finish that lets the stone breathe with light and color. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, a quality that elevates rarity and desirability. Sourced from Madagascar, a contemporary cradle for richly colored sapphires, this stone carries provenance that discerning clients seek when assembling objects of lasting value. At The Natural Sapphire Company I work with collectors and patrons who appreciate the subtlety of an untreated gem, and this sapphire embodies the provenance and purity that define a true heirloom.

The emerald cut is a study in elegance and restraint, and the proportions of this particular stone make it exceptionally suited for custom jewelry. With a length to width ratio of approximately 1.19 to 1, the shape is slightly rectangular, lending a graceful elongation on the finger or in a pendant, while remaining compact enough for refined, everyday wear. The depth of 3.38 millimeters places the stone in the high fifties percent range, approximately 59 percent, which is well balanced for a step cut and allows the table to present abundant color while preserving scintillation along the step facets. One of the great virtues of an emerald cut is how it rewards clarity and color with serene flashes and broad planes of light, making an eye clean sapphire such as this ideal for settings where the gem is the undisputed protagonist. The generous table face-up offers a larger visual presence than the carat weight alone might suggest, so this 1.06 carat sapphire reads with the confident stature of a heavier stone. The clean geometry of the emerald cut also provides an elegant blueprint for bespoke design, permitting fine metalwork to accentuate the stone without competing with it, and allowing designers to play with proportion in ways that solitaire, halo, or three stone layouts can all enhance.

For the client who seeks something both rare and unmistakably personal, this sapphire is a sublime foundation for a custom piece, a blank canvas for the highest caliber of craftsmanship. Imagine this stone set east west in a narrow bezel for a modern engagement ring that speaks with quiet authority, or mounted upright in a low profile platinum solitaire that celebrates the gem s symmetry and color. A thin halo of melee diamonds will cradle the emerald cut and intensify the vivid blue green at the center, while polished yellow gold prongs will bring a warm contrast that leans into vintage sensibilities. For those who prefer architectural restraint, a fine milgrain bezel or a knife edge shank will emphasize the gem s lines and make the finger appear elongated. Beyond rings, the dimensions and clarity also make this sapphire a perfect candidate for a pair of bespoke studs, a drop pendant that rests against the collarbone, or a signet inspired piece for a modern gentleman. Because the stone is untreated and from Madagascar, it carries the cachet of authenticity sought by connoisseurs and collectors, and it integrates beautifully into both contemporary and classic design narratives. If you would like to explore design sketches, metal choices, or setting options, I will personally guide you through proportions and hand sketching to ensure the finished jewel is unmistakably yours. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in pairing exceptional gemstones with equally exceptional design, and this emerald cut greenish blue sapphire is an invitation to create a lasting statement of personal taste and achievement.
