1.13 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire from Tanzania

This 1.13 carat cushion shape purplish blue sapphire is precisely calibrated to 5.98 x 5.90 x 3.23 mm, yielding a balanced face up presence with a depth ratio of approximately 54 percent that supports strong light return. The mixed brilliant cut employs a brilliant style crown combined with a performance oriented pavilion, producing lively scintillation while retaining broad color windows across the table. The cutter emphasized symmetry and facet alignment to maximize blue to violet dispersion, and the excellent polish of every facet ensures crisp facet junctions and bright reflections. The gem is transparent with a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, permitting clean visual appeal without compromising durability, and the stone is untreated, no enhancement, offering a wholly natural material from Tanzania.

From a gemological and design standpoint this purplish blue tone with medium color intensity sits ideally between classic cornflower blue and violet leaning saturations, making the sapphire versatile for both contemporary and vintage inspired settings. Its cushion outline and mixed brilliant faceting deliver both flash and depth, which will read as vivid color in ring, pendant, or bespoke cluster settings, while the excellent polish and robust hardness ensure daily wearability. As a gift for someone special this stone communicates considered selection and enduring value, because it is natural, untreated, and traced to Tanzania, providing provenance that enhances emotional significance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recommend mounting this gem in a setting that allows light to access the pavilion, such as a low bezel with open gallery or a secure solitaire with four prongs, to showcase its color and fire. We are available to advise on metal choice and setting proportions to preserve the gem proportions and to ensure the finished piece will be striking, wearable, and heirloom worthy.
