1.07 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

A rare and luminous treasure, this transparent bluish green sapphire weighs 1.07 carat, presented in a refined emerald cut that celebrates clarity and symmetry. Measuring 5.95 x 5.49 x 3.53 mm, the stone carries a medium light color intensity that allows both its green and blue notes to breathe, offering a serene, classic tone that feels both ancient and fresh. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem displays exceptional visual purity while retaining the natural character that collectors and connoisseurs prize. The polish is excellent, giving every facet a crisp finish that enhances sparkle and scintillation. The sapphire has undergone careful heat treatment to brighten and stabilize its color, a time honored and accepted enhancement that preserves the gem while respecting its natural origin. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select each stone for its balanced beauty and enduring potential, and this sapphire exemplifies the elegant restraint of a jewel meant to last a lifetime.

The emerald cut itself carries centuries of lineage, a faceting tradition that speaks to architecture, proportional balance, and a reverence for internal depth over surface flash. Historically favored for green stones and high clarity gems, the emerald cut frames color like a miniature gallery window, inviting long glances and thoughtful appreciation. This bluish green sapphire, cut in that dignified style, is suited to settings that privilege vertical lines and a quiet strong profile, such as a solitaire ring with a tailored bezel, a three stone design flanked by tapered baguettes, or a classic pendant that lets the gem rest against the skin and gather reflected light. The medium light color intensity gives designers freedom, it harmonizes with both warm and cool metal tones, and it complements a range of accent stones from small diamonds to cultured pearls, for those seeking a composition rooted in legacy and wearable art. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem as an emblem of continuity, a piece that will mature with its wearer, carrying stories and anniversaries forward.

Durability is central to the long term value of a gemstone, and sapphires are renowned for their strength. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, this sapphire registers at nine, just below diamond which ranks at ten, and above topaz which ranks at eight, and well ahead of common materials like quartz which ranks at seven. This high hardness means that sapphires resist scratches from everyday contact better than most other colored stones, making them practical for engagement rings and daily wear pieces where longevity and preservation of polish are priorities. Hardness is not the same as toughness, so while this sapphire is highly scratch resistant, care should be taken to protect it from sharp blows and hard impacts. The excellent polish and the emerald cut also reduce the chance of catching, and the very slightly included clarity grading indicates stable internal structure at eye level. For maintenance, we recommend routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners if the setting includes fragile side stones, and professional inspection of the mounting every year to ensure the gem remains secure.

The origin of a gemstone adds a layer of narrative and provenance that can be as meaningful as the color itself, and this sapphire hails from Madagascar, a place that has become renowned for producing vivid and characterful corundum. Madagascar sapphires are prized for their spectrum of blues and greens, often showing a clean, modern vibrancy alongside natural inclusions that attest to their geological journey. Sourced responsibly, each stone carries with it the story of earth processes that span millions of years, and the human hands that brought it to market. At The Natural Sapphire Company we place great emphasis on ethical sourcing, careful evaluation, and transparent communication about enhancements and origin, so clients can purchase with both confidence and appreciation. This particular stone, heat treated to enhance its inherent hues, retains a natural integrity and a sense of place that will appeal to those who value heritage as much as beauty.

This sapphire is more than a gem, it is a potential heirloom, a quiet exemplar of timeless design and durable beauty. Its emerald cut, medium light bluish green color, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, excellent polish, and measured proportions make it ideal for classic settings that honor tradition while remaining eminently wearable. Whether you imagine it set in a vintage inspired engagement ring, a bespoke pendant, or as the focal point of a pair of cufflinks crafted for daily use, it promises presence without ostentation. The Natural Sapphire Company is available to assist with bespoke design consultations, setting recommendations, and long term care advice, ensuring that this sapphire not only meets aesthetic expectations, but also serves as an enduring symbol of commitment and taste. If you seek a gem that bridges ancient geological history, refined human craftsmanship, and modern standards of durability and provenance, this 1.07 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire from Madagascar will answer that desire with grace and longevity.
