1.55 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This exquisite, one of a kind transparent bluish green sapphire weighs 1.55 carats, and presents a refined fancy shape that is equal parts elegant and arresting. Measuring 7.16 by 6.25 by 4.39 mm, it has been masterfully fashioned with a step cut, producing broad, ordered facets and a serene, architectural fire that speaks to quiet luxury. Graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this sapphire retains a clarity that allows its internal character to be appreciated without diminishing its overall presence. Its medium light color intensity imbues the stone with a luminous bluish green hue that is both fresh and timeless. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin in Madagascar lends it provenance and rarity that discerning collectors understand and seek. The excellent polish amplifies the gem’s surfaces, making each facet plane a mirror for light and elevating the stone beyond mere color into an object of crafted beauty. At The Natural Sapphire Company we reserve such rare examples for an exclusive group of collectors and clients, because stones of this integrity and natural origin rarely come to market.

Under different lighting conditions this sapphire reveals multiple personalities, each one a reason to cherish it. In direct midday sunlight the medium light bluish green unfolds with clarity and breadth, the step cut producing broad flashes that move slowly as the gem is turned, creating a sense of depth and the impression of a gentle lagoon captured within crystal. Under soft, diffused daylight the hue becomes more uniform and velvety, the bluish green consolidating into an elegant tone that flatters skin and metal alike, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet delineation. In warm incandescent or candlelight the stone warms slightly, the bluish green taking on a deeper, richer cast that glows from within, and the step cut refracts this softer light into luminous planes rather than scattered sparkle, lending the gem an air of old world glamour. Under bright showroom LEDs or focused spot lighting the sapphire displays crisp reflective highlights, the straight facets acting like channels of light that emphasize the stone’s geometry and clarity, and any subtle internal features add texture that tells the story of natural formation rather than detracting from brilliance. Even in twilight or lower ambient light the polished facet planes catch available light and throw measured flashes, so the gem remains legible and alive in evening wear.

This sapphire is ideal for a bespoke setting that honors its architectural step cut and rare natural origin, and The Natural Sapphire Company can guide you toward designs that celebrate its strengths. A bezel or channel setting will emphasize the stone’s clean lines and protect its edges, while a low profile prong mount will allow more light to pass through and accentuate the broad, elegant flashes unique to a step cut. Because the clarity is slightly included at eye level, a custom design that subtly conceals any visible facet junctions while allowing the stone to be viewed from the crown will preserve its visual purity and give you the confidence of a wearable treasure. Owning this Madagascar sapphire is an invitation to join an exclusive circle of connoisseurs who value natural, untreated gems with documented origin, superb polish, and measured rarity. Pieces of this caliber are seldom available, and The Natural Sapphire Company curates each offering with provenance and care. If you would like a private viewing, bespoke mounting options, or an accompanied certificate of authenticity, we will be pleased to assist you and to ensure this singular bluish green sapphire finds its rightful place in a collection where it will be treasured for generations.
