2.58 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This 2.58 carat emerald cut greenish blue sapphire from Madagascar is a standout example of natural beauty and precision cutting, brought to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 7.31 x 6.90 x 5.15 mm, and its emerald cut emphasizes clean linear facets that deliver a modern, architectural elegance. Transparent with a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this sapphire offers exceptional visual purity without the need for clarity treatments. The vivid color intensity is immediately noticeable, a lively and balanced greenish blue that captures light in a way that many commercially treated stones cannot match. With excellent polish and no enhancement, this gem represents an authentic, unaltered presence that collectors and designers seek when they want the real essence of sapphire color and structure.

Compared to other sapphires on the market, this Madagascar origin stone stands apart in several meaningful ways. Many sapphires are heat treated to improve color and clarity, and some are fracture filled or otherwise enhanced to mask inclusions. This unenhanced sapphire retains its natural character, offering better long term value and collector appeal. The emerald cut in this size range is less common than oval or cushion shapes, so it creates a unique silhouette that reads as both classic and contemporary. In comparison to stones with higher inclusion visible at eye level, the very very slightly included grade here means the light performance is cleaner, the pavilion and step facets interact without disruption, and the overall appearance is more refined. In comparison to intensely saturated but treated pieces, the vivid natural saturation of this gem is more nuanced and alive, making it preferable for those who prioritize natural origin and optical depth over artificially induced uniformity.

In a custom piece the geometry and color of this emerald cut greenish blue sapphire invite a range of complementary gemstone pairings, each creating a distinct mood. For a timeless engagement ring, pair it with step cut trapezoid diamonds on the shoulders, or with baguette side stones set in platinum or 18 carat white gold, to highlight the linear facets and to create an elegant architectural look. For a more vibrant, contemporary design, flank the sapphire with pear shaped pink sapphires or rose tourmalines, which introduce a warm contrast that accentuates the blue green tone and produces a fresh, lively palette. To emphasize green undertones, mount the center stone with round brilliant tsavorites, creating a tonal gradient that feels organic and jewel like, especially when set in yellow gold to warm the overall composition. Halo settings also work particularly well with this stone, a slim halo of fine white diamonds will increase apparent size and brilliance, while a halo of mixed colored sapphires will yield a couture effect. In bracelet or pendant designs, alternating small emerald cut accents or petite lozenge shaped sapphires can echo the center stone geometry, creating continuity and balance in a bespoke jewelry suite.

When advising clients on metal choice and longevity, this sapphire performs beautifully in all traditional jewellery metals. Platinum and 18 carat white gold provide a neutral backdrop that magnifies the vivid color and read as modern and sophisticated. Yellow gold amplifies the warmth of the greenish blue, producing an almost tropical glow, while rose gold introduces a romantic contrast that can soften the stone for feminine designs. For settings, a bezel that follows the emerald cut silhouette will protect the stone and emphasize its clean lines, while a four prong setting will maximize light return and show off the excellent polish. Because this sapphire is natural and untreated, it maintains market desirability and resale value better than enhanced alternatives. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind this gem with proper gemological documentation and provenance information, and we recommend professional cleaning and periodic inspections to ensure the mounting remains secure and the stone retains its ready to wear brilliance. For clients who value rarity, integrity of origin and cutting excellence, this 2.58 carat Madagascar sapphire offers an exceptional balance of aesthetics and investment quality, making it an excellent choice for bespoke creations that will become heirloom pieces.
