1.52 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

Before the gaze of any collector, this remarkable greenish blue sapphire announces itself as an object of refined desire, a singular expression of beauty from Madagascar. We present a transparent 1.52 carat cushion shape sapphire, an exemplar of natural color intensity and superb cutting. Its dimensions of 6.77 by 5.89 by 3.95 millimeters yield a pleasing presence on the hand, a stone that balances wearability with the commanding visual weight of its color. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that true luxury lies in nuance, and from first sight this stone conveys a quiet authority, the kind that rewards close inspection and thoughtful appreciation.

The mixed brilliant cut of this cushion sapphire is the true language of its light. By combining the scintillating geometry of brilliant facets on the crown with the broader, sheltering facets of a modified pavilion, the cutter has achieved a dialogue between fire and depth. The crown facets catch and break light into fleeting scintillation, creating lively pinpoints of white brilliance that dance with each movement. Beneath, the stepped pavilion facets act as calm reservoirs of color, channeling and reinforcing the stone s greenish blue tone, so that every return of light is imbued with hue as well as sparkle. The result is a play of contrasts, lively brilliance in the upper architecture, and a deep, velvety color that fills the field, a balance that only a skilled mixed brilliant cutter can realize.

Technical precision supports this aesthetic achievement. The stone s clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, a refinement that allows transparency and depth without distracting features, and the excellent polish ensures that each facet boundary is clean and sharp. The proportions deliver an estimated depth near 62 percent, a proportion that optimizes total internal reflection while preserving a generous table for maximum presence. These factors combine to minimize light leakage, to avoid the flat windows that diminish color, and to favor optical return that appears as radiant internal glow. The cutter s choices are evident in every flash and every zone of color, where angular facet junctions create contrast, and broader pavillion planes provide the saturated, enveloping blues and greens that make this sapphire so compelling.

This gemstone has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that refines the innate color characteristics of Madagascan sapphire without compromising its natural origins or structural integrity. The intense color intensity should be read as a hallmark of both the source and the thoughtful treatment, a marriage of nature and skill that yields a richer, more vivid statement on the finger. To the collector who seeks a piece that announces discernment and cultivated taste, this cushion greenish blue sapphire delivers. It embodies the craftsmanship and provenance that define The Natural Sapphire Company, a gem meant to be worn by someone who recognizes that true luxury is not ostentation, but the quiet certainty of owning something rare and exceptionally made.
