1.11 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

Sapphires have been admired across civilizations for their depth of color, symbolic meanings, and enduring beauty, and this bluish green emerald cut sapphire carries that lineage into a modern expression of restraint and refinement. The emerald cut itself is one of the oldest and most dignified faceting styles, prized for its clean lines and the way it reveals a gem’s inner clarity and color rather than dazzling with excessive sparkle. Here you will find a stone that marries that classical geometry with a hue that speaks to both ocean and forest, making it a jewel that looks as though it could have been held by a noble of the past and yet is entirely suited to contemporary taste. The proportions are elegantly balanced, and when set in a timeless mounting the gem assumes a presence that is quiet, assured, and unmistakably luxurious.

This particular gem is a transparent, faceted sapphire weighing 1.11 carats, cut in an emerald shape and measuring 6.95 by 4.65 by 3.36 millimeters, a size that offers sophistication without ostentation. Its eye clean clarity means that at normal viewing distance the stone reveals no visible inclusions, allowing the eye to rest on the jewel’s saturated and intense color. The bluish green tone shifts gently with the light, offering moments of deep teal and sea glass green, a characteristic enhanced by an excellent polish that gives the table and facets crisp reflections and appealing internal depth. The stone has been heat treated, a widely practiced and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color while preserving durability, and we disclose this openly because transparency is fundamental to lasting trust. Originating from Madagascar, a source known for producing sapphires of vivid personality and character, this gem carries the geological story of island formations and ancient mineral processes in every facet.
