1.32 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

There are objects in the world that do more than decorate, they declare. This transparent 1.32 carat Asscher octagon shape bluish green sapphire from Madagascar is such an object. Measured at 6.14 x 6.11 x 3.59 mm, it presents itself with a rare combination of measured presence and refined subtlety. The cut is Asscher, a step faceting that invites light to travel deep within the gem, creating an architectural play of light and dark. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to natural formation that carries character without diminishing brilliance. Its vivid color intensity declares itself with a fresh, oceanic temperament that leans toward teal, and its excellent polish ensures each facet answers with a refined and confident sparkle. Enhancement is heat treated, a widely accepted and historically familiar practice that gently elevates the innate beauty of the stone. This gem is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, a house committed to sourcing exceptional sapphires and presenting them with the dignity they deserve.

Sapphires have been cherished for millennia as emblems of protection, wisdom, and sovereign taste. Ancient lore held that the heavens themselves were reflected in blue stones, and monarchs across continents selected sapphires as symbols of divine favor and rightful rule. Through the ages, these gems were set into coronets, signet rings, and talismans worn by those who sought authority and serenity. The tradition of using greenish and bluish green sapphires is equally storied, often associated with renewal, healing, and the sea, evoking maritime power and calm judgment. The Asscher cut brings another layer of heritage, a design that rose to prominence in the early twentieth century and became synonymous with lofty architectural elegance and Art Deco refinement. Combining this long cultural lineage with the modern provenance of Madagascar creates a narrative where ancient reverence meets contemporary sophistication, a narrative that The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to continue.

The gemological qualities of this sapphire make it a choice piece for collectors and connoisseurs. The Asscher octagon shape provides a hall of mirrors effect, with concentric steps that offer a disciplined and majestic light return. Because of its clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone reads as clean to most viewers, yet carries the honest signature of natural formation that discerning buyers value. The vivid color intensity ensures that the bluish green tone remains compelling from every angle, while the excellent polish refines each facet edge to a silky finish. Heat treatment, applied with care, enhances the depth and stability of the color without compromising the gemology, and it is a practice long used to reveal the best within a sapphire. Dimensionally, its proportions at 6.14 x 6.11 x 3.59 mm make it an ideal center for a refined ring design, a pendant that rests low and luminous against the skin, or a bespoke cufflink set that whispers of quiet luxury. Consider settings in platinum or 18 karat white gold to emphasize the cool, oceanic notes. For a warmer contrast and a nod to tradition, 18 karat yellow gold can frame the color like a sunlit horizon, while a halo of fine diamonds will transform the piece into a jewel of unmistakable status.
