1.11 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.11 carat princess shape greenish blue sapphire from Madagascar offers a rare combination of intense color, clarity, and natural origin that sets it apart from many stones on the market, The Natural Sapphire Company sources and presents this gem with full disclosure, enhancement status none, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. Compared with commonly available sapphires that have been heat treated to improve color or clarity, this unenhanced sapphire holds a premium in authenticity and collector appeal, and compared with stones that display murkiness or heavy inclusions, this gem returns light cleanly through its table and pavilion giving a lively depth to its greenish blue hue. The 5.34 by 5.15 by 4.30 millimeter dimensions give it a refined square footprint that feels substantial on the finger while remaining elegant, and the princess shape brings a modern geometric presence that often reads as both contemporary and timeless, especially when juxtaposed with softer gemstone shapes.

The princess cut offers advantages that many buyers do not get from other popular cuts, the faceting pattern produces strong scintillation and contrast which enhances intense color, making this greenish blue sapphire appear richly saturated without looking heavy or dark. In contrast with round brilliant sapphires which can dilute color when faceted shallowly, and with step cuts which can emphasize clarity issues and create flat zones of color, a well executed princess cut like this one balances brilliance and color concentration, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and clean light return. The very slightly included clarity means that at typical viewing distances the stone reads visually clean, which is a distinct advantage over stones with eye visible inclusions that interrupt sparkle and complicate setting, and because the stone is unenhanced the color you see is the color you will keep for generations.

When it comes to customization, this sapphire is exceptionally versatile and suited to a wide variety of jewelry settings, as a 1.11 carat center it adapts beautifully to a classic solitaire ring, a modern tension mount, a bezel setting for a low profile daily wear piece, or a halo design that multiplies its presence with contrasting diamonds or colored gems. Its square princess proportions are ideal for channel or pavé bands where matching shapes create a seamless look, and it can also be oriented east west for contemporary engagement ring styles. Outside of rings this gem translates elegantly into pendants, single stud earrings, or a refined pendant drop where the deep greenish blue can be the focal point, and for menswear it makes an excellent signet or cufflink stone that reads both bold and sophisticated. The sapphire’s hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale gives it a distinct durability advantage over many other blue and green gemstones, making it a superior choice for everyday settings compared with stones that are softer and more prone to wear.

Choosing this princess shape greenish blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company delivers value through quality, traceability, and design flexibility, the unenhanced origin from Madagascar, the precise 5.34 by 5.15 by 4.30 millimeter measurements, and the excellent polish form a combination that is uncommon in the broader market where treated or lower clarity stones are more prevalent.
