1.28 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This listing describes a single transparent 1.28 carat emerald cut blue sapphire, with precise dimensions of 6.95 by 5.26 by 3.70 millimeters, an emerald cut that emphasizes broad step facets and parallel lines, a clarity grade described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a dark color intensity that presents a deep, evenly distributed blue, and an excellent polish that delivers clean facet junctions and refined light return. The stone has been heat treated, a standard and accepted enhancement that improves color saturation and stability, and its proportions yield an approximate depth ratio of 60.6 percent which supports a strong face up presence while maintaining good pavilion depth for durability. The emerald cut is especially well suited to settings that highlight color and clarity, including solitaire mounts and elegant bezel designs, and the measured dimensions make this sapphire compatible with a wide range of fine jewelry settings where clean geometry and tabular brilliance are desired.

Origin from Madagascar adds a meaningful dimension to this sapphire, Madagascar being a significant modern source of fine blue sapphires known for producing stones with rich saturation and transparent clarity, local geological conditions contribute a distinct trace element profile that often yields cool, velvety blue tones sought by connoisseurs, and documented origin supports valuation and collector interest by providing geographic context for color character and material provenance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we place importance on traceability and rigorous gemological evaluation, we disclose treatments and provenance to enable informed decisions, and we assess each stone for cut quality, clarity, color and overall suitability for use in high quality jewelry. This 1.28 carat emerald cut sapphire, with its measured proportions, eye level clarity, excellent polish, heat treatment disclosure, and Madagascar origin, represents a durable and versatile gem choice for those prioritizing transparent grading information and geographic provenance as part of the purchase consideration.
