1.83 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This GIA certified Blue 1.83 carat emerald cut blue sapphire from Madagascar represents a rare convergence of size, color, and clarity that is seldom seen on the market today. At 8.28 x 5.87 x 3.63 mm this stone occupies a sweet spot between wearability and presence, offering more visual impact than the typical small melee or subcarat stones, while remaining perfectly suited to elegant ring and pendant designs. The gem is transparent, with a clarity grade of eye clean evaluated at eye level, and a vivid color intensity that reads as a deep, pure blue in most lighting conditions. The emerald cut, with its long step facets and broad table, emphasizes the sapphires color and clarity rather than hiding them, and the excellent polish of this particular stone ensures that light moves across the facets with a refined, glasslike sheen. The gem has been heat treated, which is a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves the saturation and uniformity of the blue, and it carries the assurance of a GIA report, a level of documentation and quality control that many other sources cannot match.

Compared to other blue sapphires on the market this Madagascar stone stands out both for its vivid hue and for the rarity of an emerald cut at this weight and quality. Many comparable stones in the 1.5 to 2.0 carat range are cut as ovals or cushions to maximize apparent color and minimize the visibility of internal features, and many are sourced from regions that produce either paler cornflower tones or intensely dark, almost inky blues. This sapphire instead offers a vivid, well balanced blue that is neither washed out nor overly dark, and the emerald cut creates an elegant, architectural appearance that reads as sophisticated and modern. The eye clean clarity is particularly notable because step cuts tend to expose inclusions more than mixed or brilliant cuts, so finding an emerald cut sapphire of this size with such clean sight lines is uncommon, and it gives the gem a clarity driven face up brilliance that rivals stones of larger carat weight. The dimensions 8.28 x 5.87 x 3.63 mm translate to a comfortable profile for a variety of settings, and the excellent polish amplifies the stones depth of color without sacrificing light return. When you compare value per carat and overall wearable beauty against similar offerings, this stone represents a superior choice for buyers who want a statement blue that remains versatile and timeless.

The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this exceptional Madagascar emerald cut sapphire because it exemplifies the qualities collectors and discerning buyers seek when comparing options across price points and origins. Madagascar has become renowned for producing strong, clear blues with attractive saturation, but not every parcel yields stones that combine vivid color, eye clean clarity, and precise cutting in this size class. The GIA certification underlines both the gemological attributes and the legitimacy of the origin and treatment, and that level of independent verification adds to the long term value and collectibility of the piece. From a practical perspective the fact that the stone is heat treated should be understood as a standard and stable enhancement, one that enhances the color without compromising durability, and the treatment is disclosed transparently in the certification. For customers deciding between similar stones the decision often comes down to which gem shows the most life at the table while maintaining clean sight lines, and this emerald cut sapphire consistently outperforms many comparable stones because its facets are cut to showcase depth of color and clarity rather than to mask weaknesses.

Whether your priority is to find an engagement center stone that is distinct and refined or to add a rare bright blue to a collection, this 1.83 carat GIA certified emerald cut sapphire from Madagascar offers a rare balance of size, vivid color, and eye clean clarity that is difficult to find in other stones at this weight. The cut proportions and excellent polish make it an ideal candidate for a bezel or cathedral setting that will protect the stone while allowing its broad table to display the vivid blue, and the stones modest depth and measured dimensions provide predictable sizing for professional setting and design. When you compare this gem to others in the market, you will find that its combination of certified origin, careful cutting, vivid color intensity, and eye clean clarity positions it as a superior option for buyers who value both aesthetic distinction and documented quality.
