1.06 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This green sapphire began its journey deep beneath the soils of Madagascar, where ancient geology and tropical light combine to create sapphires with unique character and calm green hues. Our cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company selected this transparent 1.06 carat round gem for its even tone and natural integrity, and it was shaped to precise dimensions of 5.85 x 5.74 x 3.83 mm to maximize brilliance and face up size. The mixed brilliant cut marries a lively crown of facets with a carefully faceted pavilion to deliver scintillation and depth, while an excellent polish allows each facet to sing as the stone moves. With a clarity grade described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the gem reads clean to the naked eye, and because it is untreated, with no enhancement, its medium color intensity and natural zoning remain honest and compelling.

For a statement piece, size and clarity must work together, and this sapphire achieves that balance with ease. At just over one carat and roughly 5.8 millimeters across, it is bold enough to command attention as a solitaire ring or pendant, yet refined enough to sit comfortably for everyday wear. The clarity elevates its presence, letting light travel through the stone without distraction, which enhances the mixed brilliant cut and creates an energetic play of green flashes and steely undertones that change with the angle of view. Imagine this gem set in warm yellow gold to emphasize its green, or in cool platinum for a contemporary, high contrast look. As with every stone from The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire carries a provenance and a story, from Madagascar to the cutter to the setting, ready to become the centerpiece of a piece that speaks to heritage, craftsmanship, and natural beauty.
