1.14 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Madagascar

This listing describes a single transparent bi color sapphire weighing 1.14 carats, cut in an emerald cut shape with dimensions 5.64 x 5.17 x 4.22 mm. The stone exhibits an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, attributes that contribute to strong light return and a refined appearance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal natural inclusions that do not detract from the overall transparency or visual performance of the gem. The sapphire has undergone standard heat treatment to enhance color stability and uniformity, a common and well understood enhancement in the trade. The stone is of Madagascar origin, a source known for producing sapphires with distinctive and desirable color characteristics. The overall presentation reflects careful cutting and finishing, with the emerald cut proportions and polished facets working together to emphasize the stone s bi color transition and internal clarity.

The bi color character of this sapphire presents a dynamic interplay between green and blue tones, which shift slightly with changes in light angle and viewing position. The emerald cut, with its step facets and open table, frames this color transition with geometric clarity, allowing both the cooler blue zones and the warmer green zones to be read distinctly. Because the stone is transparent and enjoys an intense color saturation, the bi color effect is clearly visible without appearing either muddy or overly dark. The excellent polish enhances facet definition and surface brightness, while the very slightly included clarity grade ensures that any internal features remain subtle and do not interfere with the gem s optical performance. At 1.14 carats and with the given dimensions, the gem offers a pleasing presence that reads well in both close inspection and in everyday wear.

This sapphire is highly versatile in jewelry applications, suitable for both casual and formal settings. In a solitaire ring setting the emerald cut shape presents an elegant, architectural silhouette that pairs well with simple, modern mounting styles. The stone also adapts effectively to three stone arrangements, halo settings that increase perceived size and sparkle, or bezel and channel mountings for more protective, everyday wear designs. For metal choices, platinum or 18 karat white gold will emphasize the blue component and create a cool, contemporary look, while 18 karat yellow or rose gold will introduce a warming contrast that can accentuate the green zones of the bi color effect. Beyond rings, the gem is equally appropriate as a pendant focal point, as a center in a custom pair of earrings, or as a distinctive accent in cufflinks, offering design flexibility that supports both understated daily pieces and more formal evening jewelry.

Sapphire is a durable gemstone, second only to diamond in hardness, and this specimen benefits from the stability that makes sapphire an excellent choice for pieces intended for regular wear. Care recommendations include gentle cleaning with warm water and a mild detergent, a soft brush to remove residual particles, and drying with a soft cloth. Ultrasonic cleaning is generally acceptable for heat treated sapphires without significant inclusions, however professional advice is recommended if a particular gem shows internal fissures or other features. Storage in a separate compartment or a soft pouch will minimize contact with other gems and metals.
