When you are searching for the perfect sapphire to mark a milestone, to crown an engagement, or to add a rare and wearable treasure to a collection, this 0.38 carat pear shape bluish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that search with quiet confidence. This transparent gem measures 5.60 by 3.77 by 2.53 millimeters, it has a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance scintillation with saturated color, and it is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, offering clean visual appeal to the naked eye. The color intensity reads as medium intense, a versatile and captivating strength that lets the stone shift between serene blue and verdant green tones depending on light and setting. The polish is excellent, the cutting well executed to maximize light return, and the stone has been heat treated, an established enhancement that stabilizes and enriches its hue while preserving the sapphire nature that collectors and recipients value. Origin is Madagascar, a source known in recent decades for producing sapphires of striking character and refined color, and this small but expressive pear combines that island provenance with the craftsmanship and customer care you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.
If your priority is a gem that looks effortless on the hand and performs under daily light, the mixed brilliant pear cut of this sapphire is an ideal solution. The tapered point of the pear elongates the finger when set as a ring, while the rounded shoulder yields a graceful profile that flatters both classic and contemporary mountings. The mixed brilliant cutting style means the pavilion facets are arranged to enhance brilliance, while the crown facets preserve color saturation, so the stone returns lively flashes of white sparkle intermingled with its bluish green body color. At 0.38 carat the gem is delicate enough to serve as a refined center in a solitaire for someone who prefers subtlety, or as the heart of a more elaborate design with side stones for a dramatic effect, and the excellent polish ensures that light glides across its surface without obstruction. The very very slightly included clarity at eye level tells you that this sapphire reads as clean when worn, delivering the kind of visual purity and confidence you would expect from a lab report and from the jewelry it will become.
Comparing this stone to famous gemstones from history helps place its unique value into context, and the comparison highlights what a discerning buyer gains when choosing a bluish green pear from Madagascar. The Hope Diamond is celebrated for its deep, saturated blue and commanding presence, yet the Hope is a statement of scale and depth where color dominates in an almost singular way. By contrast, this sapphire offers a subtler duality, a serene interplay between blue and green that reads as more intimate and versatile on a daily wearer. The Logan Sapphire in museum collections is a classic example of spectacle through size and vivid cornflower blue, offering grandeur that is breathtaking in display cases. The Madagascar pear brings instead a wearable elegance, a gem that can be carried through ordinary days and special evenings alike, extending the legendary beauty of large historical sapphires into a piece that integrates with life. The Star of India is famous for its asterism and for its milky, gemmy appearance, qualities that speak to a different kind of rarity. This transparent pear, with its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish, gives a clear and lively alternative where brilliance and transparent depth take center stage. That combination of clarity, polish, and a medium intense bluish green color is a rare directional choice for collectors who want something evocative of history, yet fresh in personality, and the Malagasy origin anchors this stone in one of the most dynamic sapphire producing regions of the modern era.
Your search for the right stone ends with this pear because it solves both aesthetic and practical needs while delivering provenance and craftsmanship. If you are creating an engagement ring you can select a tapered setting to showcase the pear point at the top, or you can choose a halo to amplify perceived size and color presence, and for a daily wear option a partial bezel or secure prong work will protect the tip while allowing light to animate the mixed brilliant facets. Collectors who value unusual hues will appreciate the way the color shifts from cooler blue to warmer green depending on surroundings and lighting, a trait that makes wearing the piece feel personal and alive. At The Natural Sapphire Company we stand behind the quality of our gems, we can provide guidance on setting choices that will preserve the stone for a lifetime of wear, and we offer the expertise to match this sapphire with complementary diamonds or colored stones if you prefer a bespoke composition. This gem is a consummate choice for someone who desires a piece that is grounded in gemological integrity, infused with historical resonance, and designed to be worn and admired every day, and we are ready to assist you in making it a memorable part of your story.
