1.08 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

A singular expression of refined taste, this transparent 1.08 carat cushion shape green sapphire from Madagascar embodies discreet opulence and modern elegance, a jewel that whispers rather than shouts. Measuring 6.49 x 5.37 x 3.25 mm, its mixed brilliant cut is engineered to balance scintillation and depth, each facet catching the light with an assured, lively fire, while an excellent polish ensures silk smooth surfaces that enhance its visual perfection. The gem displays a medium intense color intensity, a tone that conveys presence without veering into excess, and a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves purity and allows the stone to remain admirably transparent. Heat treated to refine and stabilize its verdant hue, this sapphire is both enduring and eloquent, a collectible worthy of a lifetime and an heirloom for future generations. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a statement piece for those who appreciate understatement elevated by discerning quality.

In hue and tone this Madagascar green sapphire offers a distinctive personality that invites comparison to other celebrated sources, revealing nuances collectors will immediately recognize. Its green leans toward a refined, forest-kissed nuance, more veridian and crystalline than the deep, bluish greens sometimes found in Australian stones, and it carries a clarity and lightness that contrasts with the denser, more saturated green of Colombian emeralds, which often show botanical intensity and garden-like depth. Compared with Sri Lankan sapphires, which can present a lighter, more cornflower influenced green, this gem holds a steadier medium intensity, more akin to the balanced, polished tones seen in premium Burmese stones yet with a cooler, fresher inflection. For those who admire the intense, lively green of East African tsavorites, this sapphire offers a subtler, more sophisticated alternative, less overtly neon, more cultivated, ideal for connoisseurs who favor restraint over flamboyance. Owning this Madagascar cushion sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an achievement, a testament to refined taste, a jewel that sits comfortably among the world’s most admired gemstones while asserting its unique provenance and character.
