1.14 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

One beautiful transparent 1.14 carat oval shape greenish blue sapphire from Madagascar, measuring 7.00 x 5.18 x 3.73 mm, will immediately stand out to anyone who appreciates distinctive sapphire color and strong optical performance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select stones that offer both immediate visual appeal and enduring wearability, and this sapphire does both. Its mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return in an oval outline, producing lively flashes that are more dynamic than many traditionally faceted sapphires in this size range. The vivid color intensity gives it a deeper, richer presence than the pale aquamarine tones that are common in many market options, and its excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and clean reflections. Very slightly included at eye level, the clarity balance is excellent for everyday jewelry, because the stone reads clean to the naked eye while maintaining natural character and structural durability. Heat treatment has been applied, which is the industry standard enhancement that stabilizes and deepens the hue, producing a gorgeous greenish blue that remains stable in normal wear, and the Madagascar origin contributes a compelling provenance that collectors and designers value for its unique color palette.

Compared to other sapphires offered on the market, this Madagascar greenish blue sapphire strikes a rare balance of saturated tone, optical brightness, and practical size. Sapphires from some classic locales can be either intensely colored but heavily included, or eye clean but washed out in color. This sapphire offers vivid color without sacrificing transparency, which means it competes favorably with higher priced stones that may only match one or two of these attributes. The mixed brilliant cut further differentiates it from standard step cut or shallow cuts which can look dull or lifeless under indoor lighting. It has an advantage over many heat free stones that command premium prices, because heat treated Madagascar sapphires often deliver comparable beauty at a more accessible value. For buyers comparing pavilion depths, table size and overall proportions, the 7.00 x 5.18 x 3.73 mm profile sits in an ideal range for rings and pendants that require secure settings without overwhelming the design. When you consider the overall package, including origin, cut quality, vivid hue, and the eye level clarity grading, this gem represents exceptional value relative to similarly described stones from more heavily marketed origins.

When planning a custom piece to showcase this oval greenish blue sapphire, consider combinations that amplify its unique color while reinforcing its brilliance. A classic three stone ring with tapered white diamonds on either side will create a striking contrast, allowing the greenish blue center to appear more vivid, while tapered diamonds add elongation and elegance. For a contemporary halo, a single row of fine white brilliant cut diamonds will increase perceived size and sparkle without stealing color, whereas a double halo with alternating small tsavorites and white diamonds will echo the green aspects of the sapphire and create a couture statement. If you prefer a warmer palette, pairing this sapphire with peach sapphires or champagne diamonds set in rose gold will produce a rich, modern contrast that emphasizes the gem cup depth and green overtones. For a cooler, more minimalist look, a white gold or platinum bezel set east west will highlight the mixed brilliant cut reflections and protect the girdle for daily wear. Additional design ideas include channel set baguette diamonds that complement the oval footprint, three cluster motifs where this sapphire is offset by small teal sapphires for tone on tone harmony, or a solitaire with a subtle milgrain bezel to emphasize vintage character.

In all custom settings The Natural Sapphire Company can guide metal choice and stone pairings to ensure that this 1.14 carat Madagascar sapphire performs at its best. Its vivid color intensity, excellent polish, and mixed brilliant cut mean it will deliver superior light performance and presence compared to many alternatives, while its very slightly included clarity and standard heat treatment keep it both attractive and responsibly priced. Whether set as a confident center for an engagement ring, a refined pendant, or an eye catching cocktail ring, this greenish blue oval sapphire will create a uniquely memorable focal point, and skilled design choices will further elevate its natural beauty into a lasting heirloom.
