1.06 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.06 carat pear shape bluish green sapphire from Madagascar combines measured precision and natural character, with dimensions of 7.87 x 5.17 x 3.49 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, and an excellent polish that together create a gem with crisp faceting and lively light performance. The medium color intensity situates this stone comfortably between delicate pastel tones and deeper saturated hues, allowing it to read as both sophisticated and versatile in a variety of settings. The pear outline is a classic and flattering shape that elongates the finger and offers an elegant focal point for solitaire rings or pendants, while the mixed brilliant faceting pattern balances scintillation and depth, producing flashes of white light from the pavilion facets and rich body color from the crown. At 1.06 carats this sapphire presents a rare intersection of wearable size and refined proportions, dimensions that are especially desirable for buyers who value both immediate visual impact and practical everyday wearability.

From a clarity and cutting perspective this stone is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a description that conveys minor internal characteristics that do not detract from the gem s overall transparency and brilliance. In practical terms these inclusions are small and commonly seen only with careful inspection, they do not impair durability, and they often provide internal evidence of natural origin, which discerning buyers appreciate. The excellent polish contributes to superior light return and a smooth reflective surface, which enhances the perception of depth and color. The mixed brilliant cut is deliberately chosen to optimize both the crown and pavilion interactions, producing a balance between lively sparkle and a stable color appearance, especially important in a bluish green sapphire where subtle shifts in hue can be elegantly showcased. The stone has been heat treated, a standard and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that improves color uniformity and clarity in a stable, permanent manner when disclosed, heat treatment does not mask the gem s inherent qualities, rather it refines them while preserving the natural crystalline origin.

The provenance of this sapphire is Madagascar, a region that has become internationally recognized for producing sapphires with distinctive color chemistry and crystalline clarity, and the origin contributes meaningfully to the stone s desirability and value.
