1.02 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.02 carat oval green sapphire from Madagascar presents a transparent body with dimensions of 6.20 x 5.18 x 3.68 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, very slightly included clarity at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. The table and crown facets display lively dispersion and balanced light return, while the pavilion depth contributes to its even play of tone. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance stability and color uniformity, a common and stable enhancement for material from this region. The gem sits with classical oval proportions that make it well suited to a range of settings, from a low profile bezel to a more elevated prong mounting, and it provides the practical durability expected of sapphire for daily wear. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone with detailed measurements and a professional assessment to inform design choices and to support transparent decision making.

For a custom piece, the green sapphire pairs elegantly with white diamonds to create crisp contrast and to accentuate the stone's intense green tone. A single row of small brilliant cut white diamonds as a halo will increase perceived size and add scintillation without competing with the core color, while tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders will introduce clean geometry for a contemporary ring. For warmer combinations, light yellow or champagne diamonds offer a subtle complementary backdrop that enhances the stone's green warmth and produces a soft, vintage inspired palette. When seeking color contrast, small teal or blue green sapphires set as side stones can emphasize the green sapphire's depth and create a nuanced, tonal gradient. Metal choices influence perception, with 18 karat white gold or platinum providing a neutral frame, and 18 karat yellow gold offering a warmer presentation that accentuates the gem's green richness. Consideration of setting height and facet alignment is recommended to preserve the stone's mixed brilliant proportions and to optimize light return. The Natural Sapphire Company can assist in selecting companion gems with matching luster and clarity, and in specifying bezel width, prong profile, and halo spacing, to ensure a balanced and enduring custom design.
