2.37 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Green Sapphire Pair from Madagascar

This matched pair of transparent green sapphires weighs 1.18 carats and 1.19 carats respectively, each shaped to an oval outline with dimensions 7.36 x 5.70 x 3.59 mm and 7.36 x 5.67 x 3.63 mm, the mixed brilliant cut faceting balances table brightness with pavilion scintillation to produce even light return, clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicating only minor internal characteristics that do not affect face up transparency, color intensity is light resulting in a delicate aqua green tone that reads consistently across both stones, polish is excellent with crisp facet junctions and strong surface finish, the sapphires are heat treated which is a standard enhancement to improve color and clarity stability, origin is Madagascar which yields sapphires with a range of subtle green and bluish green hues.

These two stones were recovered and selected from the same Madagascar parcel during a single sorting and cutting sequence, they were taken from contiguous pockets within the same lot and processed together to produce the closest possible match in weight, proportions and color, that sequential handling and coordinated cutting account for their uniform dimensions and closely matched optical performance, the near identical table sizes and mixed brilliant faceting were planned to maximize symmetry when set as a pair, The Natural Sapphire Company maintains traceability records for these sapphires including origin, treatment and cutting history, these records accompany the stones to document their natural origin and the documented enhancement.

Optically the mixed brilliant proportions emphasize sparkle while preserving the stones light green body color, the relatively shallow pavilion depths yield a lively face up appearance that disperses white and green flashes evenly across the surface, these characteristics make the pair well suited to a variety of mounting styles, both white metal settings and warm yellow gold can complement the delicate green tone depending on design intent, final mounting decisions should consider the stones depth and table to maintain symmetry and secure setting.
