1.57 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.57 carat bluish green sapphire from Madagascar is a study in refined restraint and natural luxury, a gemstone that announces taste with subtlety and authority. Transparent and crisply faceted in an emerald cut, it presents a serene, medium intense color that shifts elegantly between blue and green tones as light moves across its surface. The clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level affirms the gem is remarkably clean to the unaided gaze, while an excellent polish amplifies its mirror like step facets to create broad, luminous flashes rather than a scatter of small sparkles. Importantly this sapphire is free of enhancement, a rare and desirable characteristic that preserves the stone in its original, unaltered state, and that provenance from Madagascar adds an element of geological romance and singularity that discerning collectors prize.

The emerald cut and the measured proportions of 6.85 x 5.32 x 4.46 mm make this stone especially well suited to custom jewelry, offering both presence and versatility. The elongated rectangular silhouette with well defined cropped corners creates a composed, architectural profile that pairs beautifully with a modern minimalist setting or a refined vintage inspired design. At 1.57 carats the gem occupies an ideal balance, large enough to be a commanding centre stone for an engagement ring or a striking solitaire pendant, yet compact enough to translate into a pair of matched, bespoke earrings, or the central stone in an elegant three stone composition. The open table and step cut facets of an emerald cut place clarity and color at the forefront, meaning the stone will read as sophisticated and restrained on the finger, around the throat, or perched on the ear. Because of its rectangular face and stable girdle proportions, it is exceptionally friendly to custom mounting techniques, from four prong and bezel constructions that emphasize the clean geometry, to halo settings that introduce a frame of brilliance, to east west orientations that lend a contemporary, fashion forward silhouette.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how a gem of this calibre becomes more than an object, it becomes a signature. This sapphire invites the kind of considered craftsmanship that transforms a beautiful stone into an heirloom, a piece that confers accomplishment and refined taste on its wearer. Design possibilities are myriad, and our atelier team will help select the metal tone and setting style that will best accentuate the bluish green hue and the facet architecture. Warm yellow gold will add a luminous contrast and vintage warmth, cool platinum will underscore the stone s clarity and modern minimalism, while rose gold can introduce a romantic, contemporary softness that plays against the sapphire s medium intense color. For clients seeking a statement engagement ring, a delicate bezel will protect and modernise the profile, a low cathedral mount will lend graceful elevation, and a halo of fine diamonds will magnify perceived size while preserving a cultivated restraint. For those preferring pendants or bespoke ear pieces, the stone s dimensions create an elegant drop or stud that sits proportionately and comfortably, offering daytime poise and evening presence.
