0.88 Ct. Green Sapphire from Thailand

This is a transparent 0.88 carat oval green sapphire, measuring 6.49 x 4.65 x 3.11 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style, graded included for clarity at eye level, with intense color saturation and an excellent polish. Originating from Thailand and heat treated, this stone typifies what educated buyers look for when balancing natural origin, optical performance, and stability. The mixed brilliant cut concentrates light into the table and crown facets for lively scintillation while preserving weight in the pavilion, making the most of the 0.88 carat size. The included clarity, visible at eye level, offers a window into the gem with a characterful, natural appearance rather than detracting from its overall transparency. Heat treatment in sapphires from Thailand is a well established and stable enhancement that deepens and evens the green body color, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and reduced surface wear over time. For buyers who value provenance, the Thai origin provides a known geological signature and trade history, and The Natural Sapphire Company documents these attributes so you can make an informed acquisition.

When designing a custom piece around this green sapphire, consider settings and complementary stones that either contrast to intensify the green, or harmonize to create a refined tonal scheme. A halo of small, high quality white diamonds will increase perceived size and brightness, the near colorless facets enhancing the intense green by contrast. For a warmer palette, pair the sapphire with yellow or golden sapphires or small citrines, and set in 18 karat yellow gold to accentuate green warmth and vintage appeal. For a modern, crisp aesthetic, choose platinum or 18 karat white gold with tapered diamond shoulders to emphasize brilliance and color clarity. If you prefer a layered green look, light mint tourmalines or pale emeralds can flank the oval to create depth and subtle gradation. Because the stone is included at eye level, bezel or half bezel settings offer extra protection without obscuring the face of the gem, while prong settings maximize light return for sparkle. Placement lengthwise on a ring finger visually elongates the hand, whereas a pendant in a delicate bezel or diamond halo becomes a focused color statement. The Natural Sapphire Company can assist in selecting exact companion stones, metal, and setting style to preserve the stone, showcase its intense green color, and achieve the aesthetic and durability goals of a discerning collector.
