1.50 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Madagascar

There are gemstones that simply occupy a space in the imagination, and then there is this exceptional violet sapphire, a transparent 1.50 carat cushion shape marvel that announces itself with a noble presence. Measuring 7.71 x 5.78 x 2.95 mm, cut to exacting proportions with a mixed brilliant cut and finished to an excellent polish, this stone is a study in refined restraint and expressive color. Its intense violet hue is saturated yet pure, flowing across the pavilion and crown with an evenness that transforms light into living color. Clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to the natural origin of this sapphire and to the discerning eye that selected it, and critically, it has received no enhancement, preserving its authentic character from the heart of Madagascar to the showcase of the world.

Owning a gem of this caliber is not merely a purchase, it is a deliberate act of connoisseurship, a visible declaration that one values beauty that endures. The mixed brilliant cut has been employed to balance optical fire with color retention, each facet geometry chosen to maximize scintillation without sacrificing the deep, regal violet that defines this piece. An excellent polish ensures that every facet surface sings with a satiny finish, allowing the gem to sit confidently in the presence of light, while its cushion outline yields an elegant silhouette that flatters both modern and classical settings. Origin matters to true collectors, and this sapphire’s provenance in Madagascar situates it among some of the most exciting, responsibly sourced discoveries of recent decades. From rough to refined, the craftsmanship invested in faceting and finishing this stone speaks to hours of human skill, the kind of artisanal care that separates mere objects from treasures.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this violet sapphire as more than an adornment, it is an investment in beauty and in the enduring craft of the gem cutter.
