1.47 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This stunning transparent blue sapphire from Madagascar is a superb addition to any high end gemstone collection, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. Weighing 1.47 carats and cut into a classic oval shape, this gem measures 8.39 x 5.92 x 3.34 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut is designed to balance lively fire with a deep velvety blue appearance. The stone is certified as a natural blue sapphire, and importantly it has received no enhancement, which sets it apart from the many heat treated and otherwise modified sapphires commonly offered today. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing for a clean visual face up even at this darker color intensity. For the collector who values authenticity, provenance, and uncompromised natural beauty, this sapphire embodies those priorities.

When compared to other blue sapphires on the market, this piece offers distinct advantages in terms of purity and value. Many commercially available sapphires have undergone heat treatment to improve color and clarity, or have been subjected to more intrusive enhancements that can affect long term stability and market value. This Madagascar origin sapphire is free of such interventions, preserving its natural character and rarity. The mixed brilliant cut sets it apart from simple step cuts or poorly proportioned ovals, as it is cut to maximize light return while maintaining the stone face up size and depth that collectors prize. Against stones of similar carat weight but inferior polish or more obvious inclusions, this gem stands out for its crisp facets and clean window when viewed from the table. For buyers comparing options, the combination of a natural state, VVS level eye readability, and expert cutting offers a superior long term proposition.

Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate the practical and aesthetic strengths of this sapphire in a high end portfolio. Its dark color intensity provides a dramatic and sophisticated presence, making it ideal for pieces where depth and richness are desired, such as solitaire rings, classic pendants, or bespoke statement settings. The durability and timeless appeal of corundum ensure this gem will wear well and retain desirability over decades, unlike trends in fashion colors that can fade. Provenance from Madagascar adds a layer of story and geological interest, as Madagascar produces some of the most desirable natural blue sapphires on the market without common modern enhancements. The excellent polish and precise oval proportions also mean the stone will pair beautifully with both white and yellow precious metals, and will harmonize with diamonds or colored accent stones without competing visually. For the discriminating buyer seeking a piece that is both immediately wearable and a wise addition to a curated collection, this sapphire is exemplary.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we focus on sourcing stones that deliver clarity on origin, treatment, and quality, and this 1.47 carat oval blue sapphire exemplifies that commitment. Its untreated nature, VVS eye level clarity, mixed brilliant cut, and excellent polish constitute a rare combination that outperforms many alternatives that sacrifice one or more of these qualities for lower cost. As a collector grade gem, it offers both aesthetic superiority and investment minded value, holding its appeal to future buyers and designers. Whether you are expanding a focused sapphire collection or seeking a centerpiece for a bespoke commission, this Madagascar sapphire is a refined choice that communicates connoisseurship and restraint.
