At The Natural Sapphire Company, we appreciate the gemstone’s journey and the privilege it is to bring this emerald-cut marvel to life. Our artisans focus on enhancing its natural characteristics, allowing the green sapphire to tell its own story through clarity and brilliance. Under skilled hands, the emerging gem is masterfully cut into an Asscher shape, revealing its complex interplay of light and depth.
