1.02 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the ancient, mineral rich soils of Madagascar to the refined light that dances across its facets, this transparent 1.02 carat pear shape green sapphire tells a story that begins in nature and ends in the most personal of keepsakes, brought to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. Mined by communities who have long worked these unique deposits, this stone carries within it the geological patience of time, the quiet pressure and heat that coaxed corundum into being, and a color that speaks of verdant earth and shifting coastal light. The sapphire measures 7.30 x 5.27 x 3.98 mm, it has a mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and brilliance, and it is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Its medium intense color intensity gives it presence on the finger and in a pendant, its excellent polish ensures every facet returns light with crisp clarity, and the gem is offered with no enhancement, a pure expression of nature, straight from Madagascar to our hands and into yours.

In the cutting room the rough was thoughtfully oriented to create the elegant pear silhouette that so naturally evokes motion and grace, the pointed tip offering direction and the rounded base reflecting warmth. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize sparkle while preserving the stone weight and the rich green hue, a choice that favors both wearable size and optical performance. At certain angles the stone gives a slightly different face, a play of green tones that can shift from a deep forest cast to a fresher mint under brighter light, an effect that rewards close viewing and quiet moments alike. The clarity described as very very slightly included means the sapphire reads clean to the eye, with only the most discreet inclusions visible under magnification, lending authenticity without distracting from the gem's beauty. With excellent polish each facet edge remains sharp, allowing crisp light return that makes prong set pieces scintillate and bezel set pieces glow from within, and the lack of heat or other enhancement ensures the hue you see is entirely natural, a feature that many collectors and bespoke clients prize in their heirloom pieces.

Because of its versatile pear shape and balanced dimensions this 1.02 carat green sapphire is an ideal candidate for a wide variety of custom settings, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we welcome your creative direction. Set point down in a classic solitaire ring to elongate the finger and create a timeless engagement piece, or turn it point up for a contemporary east west pendant that offers a modern twist on a traditional gem. A halo of small white diamonds will magnify the stone's presence and emphasize its medium intense color, while a slender bezel will protect the delicate tip and suit a lifestyle that favors durability. Consider a three stone ring with tapered baguettes to frame the pear and introduce architectural contrast, or pair two matched pears in mirrored drop earrings for a dramatic bridal or evening look. For those drawn to vintage character a filigree or milgrain setting in warm 18 karat yellow gold will accentuate the green with antique charm, while a sleek platinum mount will create chic contrast and prioritize security. The dimensions 7.30 x 5.27 x 3.98 mm sit comfortably within common mounting standards, making it possible to craft delicate solitaires, intricate cluster pieces, and statement pendants without compromising the gem proportions. If you prefer bespoke design our gem specialists will advise on orientation, table height, and pavilion depth to place the crown of the sapphire at the exact angle that maximizes brilliance in your chosen setting, and we can source matching side stones or design complementary mountings that invite this Madagascar sapphire to become a personal emblem.
