0.98 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

A singular expression of rare color and refined proportion, this transparent 0.98 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire is a study in calm radiance and precise beauty, measuring 6.11 by 4.70 by 3.55 millimeters, with each facet cut to exacting standards to reveal an intense color that seems to gather light into itself. The emerald cut, with its clean lines and broad step facets, lends an architectural elegance that allows the gem to breathe with depth, presenting the bluish green hue with a serenity that feels both modern and timeless. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the clarity is a testament to the gem's natural integrity, these minute internal characteristics serving only to authenticate its origin and lend the stone a whisper of character rather than distraction. The polish is excellent, the table and facets gliding into one another to create mirror like reflections that carry flashes of teal and sea green, and the transparency affords a crystalline clarity that is rare for sapphires of such saturated tone. Enhanced by professional heat treatment to stabilize and enrich the color, this gem offers a flawless marriage of nature and skill, a gem that is ready to be set and admired without compromise.

Rooted in a lineage of adornment that stretches back through centuries, sapphires have been treasured for their perceived powers to protect, to focus the mind, and to symbolize wisdom, loyalty, and nobility, and this bluish green example carries that heritage forward with every angle. Historically, sapphires were worn by royalty and clergy to denote divine favor and social standing, they were used as talismans by travelers to guard against misfortune, and they were believed to calm the spirit and bring clarity to the heart, qualities that this gem embodies in its cool, contemplative color. The sapphire's origin in Madagascar adds a contemporary chapter to this storied legacy, arriving from an island whose soils produce some of the most interesting and characterful sapphires in the modern trade, stones prized by collectors and connoisseurs for their unique color zones and natural depth. In the hands of a master cutter, the emerald cut has translated Madagascar's geological poetry into a wearable jewel, a stone that speaks quietly but insistently of provenance, of craftsmanship, and of the continuity of traditions that link ancient gem lore to today.
