2.19 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

Imagine holding a rare whisper of the ocean and sky, a gem that seems to carry a secret breeze whenever it catches the light, a transparent greenish blue sapphire of 2.19 carats, cut in a poised asscher octagon shape that reflects a refined geometry with every movement. At 7.54 by 6.66 by 4.47 millimeters this gem has the ideal presence to be worn as the heart of an engagement ring, the center of a meaningful pendant, or the memorable stone in a bespoke piece that will be cherished for generations. The asscher cut, with its elegant stepped facets and cropped corners, gives this stone a luminous, mirror like depth, and because the stone is finished with excellent polish, each facet returns light in a calm, crystalline rhythm that invites quiet admiration and sparkling conversation. The color reads with a medium intensity, the green and blue notes balancing to create a serene yet lively hue that shifts with the wearer and setting, and the clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem presents to the eye with exceptional clarity and character, subtle inclusions that are a fingerprint of nature and a proof of authenticity. This sapphire has been heat treated, a time honored and widely accepted enhancement that gently brings forward the best of the stone, and it hails from Madagascar, an island whose recent sapphires have moved the world with their clarity and uncommon tones.

Sapphires have always held a unique place in human stories, they were worn by ancient kings and poets as a pledge of divine favor, entrusted to bridal jewelry as a promise of fidelity, and placed among family treasures to protect what matters most. This particular asscher cut recalls the elegance of early twentieth century cutting styles, a modern heirloom that channels the quiet strength and symmetry beloved in Art Deco jewelry, yet its colors reach back further to the mythic uses of blue and green sapphires in many traditions, where they were seen as talismans for calm thought, wise counsel, and steadfast love. Imagine the joy of giving or receiving such a stone, knowing that you are not only gifting brilliant color and perfect angles, but also connecting the wearer to centuries of ritual and meaning. A greenish blue sapphire set as a signet or a solitaire has historically been chosen to mark moments of consequence, weddings, anniversaries, and rites of passage, because the gem carries an assuring weight, a visible symbol of a promise kept, and because its depth of color seems to hold stories within it. The asscher facets emphasize clarity and tone rather than showy sparkle alone, which makes this gem an especially intimate jewel, one that rewards close attention and that will read as both modern and timeless on any hand.
