1.04 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent bluish green sapphire weighs 1.04 carat, and measures 6.77 by 4.91 by 2.62 mm, presented in a classic emerald cut with faceted step planes that emphasize clarity and color. The gem is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the inclusions are present but do not significantly interrupt the visual flow when set, and this grade often appeals to buyers who prioritize natural character over laboratory alteration. The color intensity is described as intense, and the tone sits in a bluish green range that displays lively saturation under both natural and artificial light. The stone has an excellent polish, and no enhancement has been applied, preserving the original material characteristics. Origin is Madagascar, a source known for producing sapphires with attractive color zoning and natural depth, and this provenance is verified and consistent with the visual features of the stone. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem, offering traceable sourcing and full disclosure on treatment status.

For custom jewelry this sapphire is particularly desirable because the emerald cut and the stated dimensions make it exceptionally versatile for a range of designs, from elegant solitaires to modern bezel or three stone rings, and from pendants to signet style settings. The rectangular outline and broad table of the emerald cut present color evenly, allowing designers to showcase the bluish green hue without excessive light leakage, while the step facets create a refined, architectural look that suits both minimal and intricate mounting styles. At just over one carat, the gemstone balances wearability with presence, fitting comfortably in everyday rings without overwhelming a finger, and its 2.62 mm depth offers reliable seat for bezel work or prong settings without requiring deep galleries. The slightly included clarity grade can actually benefit custom settings that use closed or semi closed backs, as natural inclusions add a fingerprint of authenticity, and they do not materially affect toughness in corundum. For an educated buyer seeking an unenhanced Madagascar sapphire with excellent polish, intense color, and an emerald cut that translates directly into clean, contemporary design lines, this piece from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a strong option for a bespoke creation that will read as both natural and refined.
