3.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This exquisite, transparent C.Dunaigre certified Blue 3.04 carat cushion shape sapphire from Madagascar carries the kind of presence that has been treasured across centuries, a stone that evokes the ceremonial regalia of ancient courts and the quiet dignity of heirloom jewelry passed from one generation to the next. At 7.62 by 7.60 by 5.46 mm the proportions are both generous and refined, and the mixed brilliant cut combined with an excellent polish gives the gem a harmonious balance between scintillation and deep color. The vivid color intensity is the sapphire story, a saturated cornflower to deep royal blue that remains true whether set as a solitary center stone or embraced by a classic halo. The clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a mark of natural origin and authenticity that does nothing to diminish the gem s purity of tone, and the stone has been heat treated in accordance with long established practices to stabilize and enhance its hue, treatments that are fully disclosed and supported by the C.Dunaigre certificate. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prize provenance and craftsmanship, and this sapphire is an embodiment of Madagascar s quiet, rugged beauty translated into a form that is as wearable today as it would have been in a bygone era.

Under different lighting conditions this sapphire reveals its many facets of character, in daylight the vivid blue opens with crisp, luminous depth, the mixed brilliant cut offering a lively return of white flashes that sit against a richly saturated blue field. Under cool LED lighting the stone takes on a vivid, almost electric clarity, with the pavilion facets delivering a steady pattern of scintillation that emphasizes the cushion shape s rounded elegance. In warmer incandescent or candlelight the blue warms slightly toward a velvety, regal tone, the intensity remaining vivid while the stone emits a softer, more romantic glow that complements gold metals and classic settings. In low light the deep saturation carries forward, the eye catching blue center holding its presence while selective flashes from the crown facets add a subtle, luxurious sparkle. Whether mounted in a solitaire ring or a heritage inspired pendant, this sapphire s excellent polish and measured proportions make it an enduring choice for someone who values legacy, authenticity, and the timeless allure that only natural, certified gemstones can provide.
