1.17 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

As a curator and salesperson for The Natural Sapphire Company, I am pleased to present a sapphire of unmistakable character, a stone that exists for discerning collectors who seek rarity and refinement. This one of a kind blue sapphire weighs 1.17 carats, and it is transparent with dimensions of 6.32 x 6.32 x 3.76 mm. Its round shape and mixed brilliant cut speak to a balance of classic form and contemporary optical engineering, and because stones like this are seldom available, the opportunity to own it is limited. When you acquire this gem you do not merely make a purchase, you join an elite circle of owners who appreciate provenance, craftsmanship, and a level of color intensity that is exceptional. The origin of the sapphire is Madagascar, a source known for producing some of the most vivid and sought after blue sapphires in the modern market, and this provenance is part of the story of exclusivity that accompanies the gem.

The sapphire has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, and the clarity, combined with its excellent polish, allows light to travel and return with extraordinary purity. The mixed brilliant cut is specifically designed to amplify both brilliance and depth, offering the lively sparkle of a brilliant style on the crown, with strategic pavilion faceting that enhances internal reflection. Each facet is a plane that interacts with the gemstone crystal structure, and because this sapphire is transparent and clean, those internal planes and natural crystal orientation create a play of light that is remarkably dynamic. The refractive properties of corundum, the mineral family to which sapphire belongs, mean that light is bent and reflected within the gemstone in ways that deliver intense scintillation and a sense of three dimensional depth. The intense color intensity of this stone combines with its optical architecture to yield flashes of bright blue light and deeper velvety zones, a contrast that draws the eye and rewards close inspection. The gem has been heat treated, a stable and common enhancement that intensifies color while preserving the natural origin and structural integrity of the stone.

Owning this sapphire is an invitation to a private experience of beauty and exclusivity, an opportunity I am proud to offer through The Natural Sapphire Company. We carefully select each sapphire for its story, and this gem speaks of the rivers and soils of Madagascar, the hands that cut it to exacting proportions, and the deliberate decisions that produce a stone of rare visual impact. Because stones of this caliber are chosen by a small group of collectors and bespoke jewelers, availability is limited, and each piece is presented as a singular offering. If you are considering a custom commission, the proportions and optical character of this sapphire lend themselves to designs that celebrate its round silhouette and intense blue, whether set as a solitaire centerpiece or as the heart of a refined cluster. I am available to discuss bespoke settings, secure the piece for a private viewing, and provide full documentation of origin, treatment, and gemological assessment. To own this sapphire is to claim a rare combination of natural beauty and masterful cutting, a jewel that will be recognized by connoisseurs and cherished by its wearer.
