3.52 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

A jewel such as this calls to mind the long and storied traditions that have framed human admiration for colored gemstones across the ages, and it is my pleasure to present this exquisite, transparent, bluish green sapphire from Madagascar, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. At a weight of 3.52 carat, this gem occupies a rare space between wearable elegance and conspicuous presence, a weight that immediately signals its significance to collectors and connoisseurs alike. The emerald cut shape measures 8.89 x 7.48 x 5.54 mm, and its clean geometric facets confer a composed, architectural beauty that has long appealed to those who value lineage and refinement. The color reads as a sophisticated bluish green, with an intense color intensity that saturates the stone evenly, while the excellent polish brings a mirror like finish to each facet. This combination of transparency, weight, and classical cut creates a jewel that feels rooted in history, yet utterly modern in its wearability, a piece you can imagine set in an heirloom ring to be treasured across generations.

In the world of fine gemstones, carat weight is not merely a measure of size, it is a measure of rarity and market significance, and at 3.52 carat this sapphire stands as a statement of enduring value. Larger sapphires, especially those that pair clarity with intense, evenly distributed color, become exponentially rarer as you move upward in weight, and that scarcity is reflected in both desirability and long term value. This particular stone, with its substantial face up dimensions, offers a commanding presence on the finger or in a pendant while retaining a refined proportion thanks to the elongated emerald cut. The weight lends substance to the color and depth to the tone, so that light moves through the pavilion and returns with a calm, sophisticated radiance rather than a burst of gaudy brilliance. For collectors who prize stones that will hold, or increase, their value over time, a 3.52 carat sapphire with these qualities is a meaningful acquisition, one that confers distinction and becomes a tangible piece of legacy to pass along.

The gemological attributes of this sapphire further amplify its timeless appeal. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means the stone reads as visually clean and crystal clear in normal viewing conditions, a quality particularly prized in historically minded designs where transparency and purity of tone were the hallmarks of fine work. The excellent polish enhances the stone s ability to transmit light, bringing out the structural beauty of the emerald cut, whose step facets create broad flashes and a depth of color that is both noble and restrained. The color intensity is intense, a saturated bluish green that nods to ancient royal tastes for deep, dignified hues, and which benefits from heat treated enhancement that is a respected, stable practice for optimizing the inherent attributes of sapphires. The origin of Madagascar contributes another layer to the story, as the island s gem producing regions have yielded some of the most remarkable sapphires of the modern era, stones that marry geological richness with aesthetic refinement. This sapphire therefore combines provenance, clarity, and expert finishing to stand as a true representation of classic gemmaking.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that choosing a gemstone is an intimate act, often motivated by heritage, taste, and the desire to mark important moments with objects that endure. This Madagascar sapphire, 3.52 carat, emerald cut, 8.89 x 7.48 x 5.54 mm, intense in color, very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, heat treated, with excellent polish, is the sort of stone that suggests a future of stories and ownership that matter. We encourage consideration of traditional settings that honor the cut and weight, such as a bezel or a four prong mount that allows light to play across the step facets while protecting the stone for generations of wear. Care is straightforward, with routine professional inspections and gentle cleaning to maintain brilliance and surface finish. If you seek a gem that bridges the weighty gravitas of historical treasures with the clarity and cut precision of contemporary gemology, this sapphire is a rare and compelling choice, and we at The Natural Sapphire Company are here to guide you through its provenance and potential, and to help you bring this exceptional piece into a setting that will carry its legacy forward.
