1.68 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This is a beautiful transparent 1.68 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire, with dimensions of 7.35 x 5.94 x 3.88 mm, clarity evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, origin Madagascar, enhancement none. The emerald cut is a less common and highly elegant choice for sapphires, showing broad step facets that emphasize color depth and clarity rather than sparkle alone, and this shape allows the vivid bluish green tone to appear even and saturated across the table, which sets it apart from more common oval or cushion sapphires that can show uneven color zoning. Compared with heat treated or chemically enhanced sapphires, this untreated stone presents a natural luminosity and a market advantage in both perceived and real value, because collectors and informed buyers consistently pay premiums for verifiably natural color and polish. Compared with sapphires from other localities, Madagascar material often offers an attractive balance of rarity and price, and an untreated vivid tone from Madagascar is increasingly sought after by designers and collectors alike.

From an investment perspective this sapphire is a compelling option, because it combines factors that drive long term appreciation, namely untreated natural color, eye level clarity, vivid intensity, and a versatile emerald cut that appeals to both modern jewelry markets and traditional collectors. Historically, natural untreated sapphires command higher per carat prices and have shown steadier demand than treated lower grade material, and as supply of high quality untreated stones remains limited, buyers who choose such stones through trusted sources tend to see stronger retention of value. The provenance with clear origin and no enhancement also supports resale liquidity, and the modest yet desirable weight of 1.68 carat makes the gem attractive for both bespoke settings and for collectors who prefer rarer untreated sizes. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the quality and can assist with independent certification, setting recommendations, and long term care to help preserve and potentially enhance future value. While no gemstone investment is without risk, this emerald cut Madagascar sapphire offers a superior combination of quality, rarity, and market desirability compared with many treated alternatives, making it a prudent choice for those seeking a beautiful gem that also carries meaningful investment potential.
