1.09 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

When you are searching for the perfect sapphire to mark a milestone, to set at the center of an engagement ring, or to add a rare and beautiful specimen to a collection, weight is one of the first qualities that shapes value, presence, and desirability. This transparent greenish blue oval sapphire weighs 1.09 carat, a meaningful threshold that instantly elevates the stone beyond the more common under one carat sizes, giving it a presence on the finger that feels substantial yet elegant. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with pride, because it combines that important weight with outstanding gemological attributes. The gem measures 6.79 x 5.09 x 4.13 mm, and it is fashioned in an oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and scintillation with classic oval proportions. Its clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level means the stone reads very clean to the naked eye, allowing the medium intense greenish blue color to come forward without distraction, while an excellent polish ensures maximum light return and a silky surface finish.

Weight matters for more than size alone, it is a major driver of rarity and price. Sapphires, like most gemstones, are priced per carat, and the per carat price tends to increase as weight increases, particularly once stones exceed common thresholds such as one carat. A 1.09 carat sapphire therefore occupies a special price band, offering disproportionate value relative to slightly smaller stones because larger, transparent, and untreated examples with very very slightly included clarity are simply less common. The fact that this sapphire is untreated with no enhancement further amplifies its rarity and long term appeal. For collectors who prize natural state gems and for couples who want an engagement stone with intrinsic honesty and integrity, an untreated 1.09 carat sapphire from Madagascar offers both provenance and prestige. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes brilliance while retaining the oval silhouette that flatters most ring settings, and the dimensions give a strong face up appearance that will read larger than many stones of similar carat weight with less efficient cuts.

Beyond market dynamics, the experiential aspect of weight and cut is immediate and compelling. On the hand this 1.09 carat oval will have a comfortable, balanced feel, catching light across its length while the 4.13 mm depth supports structural integrity and long term wear. The medium intense greenish blue coloration is versatile and sought after, offering a unique and modern hue that still reads classic, making it perfect for a wide range of settings from simple solitaires to halo designs that amplify sparkle. The clarity of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level ensures that the color remains pure and consistent across the pavilion, while the excellent polish enhances the stone s brilliance and allows the mixed brilliant faceting to scintillate with every movement. Origin matters to discerning buyers, and this stone comes from Madagascar, a source known for producing high quality sapphires with distinctive color profiles, adding another layer of story and desirability.
