1.31 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Africa

At The Natural Sapphire Company I am thrilled to present one beautiful transparent 1.31 carat emerald cut shape bluish green sapphire, a gem that seems to capture the hush of the ocean and the quiet of a forest in a single flawless face. Measuring 6.45 x 5.38 x 3.35 mm, this sapphire bears the elegant geometry of an emerald cut, with long step facets that create a hall of light and shadow that draws the eye in. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means it is stunningly clean to the viewer while retaining the natural fingerprint that makes every mined sapphire unique. The color reads with an intense color intensity, a bluish green that shifts just so when it catches the sun, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and a refined mirror like finish. This sapphire is unenhanced, no enhancement, and it comes from Africa, which gives it a provenance as natural and vivid as the memories it will help create.

Imagine this sapphire set in a variety of jewelry styles, each one telling a different story, each one designed to make an everyday moment feel ceremonial. In a classic solitaire ring the emerald cut will sit like a window onto a private world, four prongs or eight for extra security, a low profile for those who wear their jewelry every day, or a higher cathedral setting for dramatic presence. A halo of fine diamonds will add fire and apparent size, or a hidden halo can keep the diamond whispering for those who prefer a secret sparkle. An east west setting will modernize the look, turning a familiar shape into something unexpected. Bezel settings will protect the delicate corners and create a sleek, contemporary statement, perfect for life lived boldly. For pendants, a minimal bezel on a delicate chain lets the sapphire float at the throat, an everyday talisman. For earrings, this stone can be the center of a refined drop or the focal point of a bespoke pair paired with a matching or complementary sapphire for balance. For men, this gem makes an elegant signet or a refined statement ring, and it takes well to mixed metal designs for a modern twist.

Design possibilities go beyond the obvious, and I love helping customers explore them, because every setting becomes a living memory. Consider a three stone ring framing the emerald cut with tapered baguette diamonds that echo the linear facets and add architectural grace. A vintage inspired setting with filigree and milgrain will make this sapphire feel like an heirloom passed from one generation to the next, perfect for anniversaries or birth celebrations. A pavé shank or split shank will bring additional brilliance and presence, or a simple knife edge band will keep the focus pure and intimate. Rose gold warms the bluish green into a soft jewel tone that reads as romantic and modern, yellow gold gives the gem a classic glow, and platinum or white gold heightens the sapphire s cool blue character for a crisp contemporary look. Because sapphire rates a nine on the Mohs scale, it is ideal for pieces meant to be worn and loved every day, standing up gracefully to the rhythms of life while reminding the wearer of a promise, an achievement, or a tender moment.

As your guide from The Natural Sapphire Company I welcome the chance to help you design a setting that reflects the life this sapphire will live with you, to sketch concepts, to recommend metal and accent stones, and to produce CAD renderings so you can see the final jewel before it is made. We will talk through prong styles and bezel depths, halo proportions and band widths, engraving and hidden details that transform a beautiful stone into a personal story. This unenhanced African sapphire with its intense color intensity and excellent polish is ready to become the center of a bespoke engagement ring, a meaningful anniversary present, a single striking pendant, or a masculine ring that carries quiet confidence. Imagine handing this gem to the person who makes your days brighter, imagine their face when they see the color shift in daylight, imagine how the cut will flash as they move, how the piece will become part of their daily rituals and their most treasured celebrations. When you are ready, I will be honored to guide you through every step, helping you craft a one of a kind jewel that transforms this exceptional stone into a lifetime of joy.
