1.62 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.62 carat round bluish green sapphire measures 6.89 millimeters in diameter with a depth of 4.56 millimeters, yielding a proportionally deep profile of approximately 66.2 percent. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, with a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown paired with a precisely faceted pavilion that balances light return and color saturation. The mixed brilliant geometry enhances scintillation while avoiding windowing, producing lively facet contrast and controlled extinction across viewing angles. At eye level the sapphire is eye clean, indicating the absence of inclusions visible without magnification, and the excellent polish and careful facet junctions deliver sharp facet outlines and strong face up brilliance. The medium intense bluish green hue is evenly distributed throughout the stone, demonstrating consistent saturation and tone that the cutter has retained by optimizing pavilion angles and depth rather than sacrificing weight. This sapphire is unenhanced, carrying no heat treatment or other clarity or color modifications, which preserves its natural lattice and optical properties.

Originating from Madagascar, this sapphire embodies the intersection of technical gemcraft and ethical sourcing that discerning buyers seek. The Natural Sapphire Company sources this material with a commitment to traceability and responsible practice, working directly with partners who adhere to low impact extraction and fair compensation for local labor. The untreated nature of the stone increases its appeal to the conscious collector who values geological integrity and long term provenance, and it is particularly well suited to bespoke settings where the cutter retained weight and optical performance for maximum value. For designers and collectors who prioritize both technical excellence and ethical provenance, this sapphire offers a measured depth profile, precision faceting, and a stable medium intense bluish green color that performs well in both solitaire and halo settings, or as a refined center for engagement jewelry.
