1.68 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Madagascar

The bi color sapphire offered by The Natural Sapphire Company emerges as an exquisite testament to refined gemstone craftsmanship. With a carat weight of 1.68, this oval-shaped marvel measures 7.03 x 5.78 x 4.82 mm, presenting a sophisticated silhouette that catches the eye even from a distance. The expert craftsmanship is evident in its mixed brilliant cut, which maximizes the light refraction within the gem and showcases its rich, medium intense color. This characteristic is particularly significant for those with a keen appreciation for gemstones, as the mixed brilliant cut blends round and step-cut facets to enhance both brilliance and depth. In essence, this cut creates a vibrant play of light that brings the bi color characteristic of the sapphire to an artful life.

The color intensity of the sapphire is rated as medium intense, a quality that is particularly appealing to connoisseurs of fine gems. This intensity highlights the bi color nature of the stone such that blues and reds dance within the confines of its clear body, creating a visual symphony that speaks to the skill of the gem cutters and the natural beauty of the sapphire itself. The transparency of the stone, tempered by its very very slightly included clarity grade, suggests a purity that is rare, especially when evaluated at eye level. These slight inclusions are insignificant enough not to detract from the gem's overall appeal and instead serve as a testament to its natural origin. Indeed, knowing that this sapphire hails from Madagascar adds an additional layer of fascination, as gemstones from this region are esteemed for their unique coloration and quality.

An excellent polish further enhances this sapphire, ensuring a mirror-like surface that allows light to enter and exit the stone without conflict. This meticulous attention to finish elevates the sapphire from a mere gemstone to a piece of art. The unblemished surface and the precise cut are crucial for buyers who value perfection and exquisite craftsmanship. Faceting styles like the one used in this sapphire consider both aesthetic and functional elements, promising not only visual allure but also optimal ergonomic usability when set in custom jewelry. The sapphire feels just as pleasing to its holder as it appears to the observer, making it a versatile gemstone ready for further customization.

Provided as a centerpiece in a custom piece, this bi color sapphire could be tastefully complemented by other fine stones to amplify its inherent elegance. Pairing it with white diamonds in a halo style setting could magnify its color transitions while increasing its overall brilliance. Alternatively, considering complementary gemstones such as spinel or garnet with their harmonious hues could elevate its distinct palette. The juxtaposition of colors would underscore the uniqueness of each element, creating a custom piece that commands attention. At The Natural Sapphire Company, such attention to detail ensures each piece becomes not just a purchase but a lifelong acquisition treasured for its meticulous craftsmanship and intrinsic natural beauty.
