1.10 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

One beautiful transparent 1.10 carat oval shape bluish green sapphire from Madagascar, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, presents a rare combination of size, hue, and craftsmanship. Measuring 6.63 x 5.51 x 3.38 mm, this gem has been faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and depth, and it displays an intense color intensity with an excellent polish that allows light to dance through every facet. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the stone has been heat treated in accordance with standard gem trade practices to enhance stability and color. For buyers seeking a single stone that reads as vivid and luxurious while remaining grounded in natural character and provenance, this Madagascar sapphire occupies a compelling place in the market.

When compared with other sapphires available today, this bluish green oval stands out for its particular color and cutting style. Many sapphires on the market emphasize pure blue or pure green, but the bluish green spectrum appeals to collectors and designers who want a versatile, evocative tone that shifts subtly in different lighting. Compared with Sri Lankan sapphires that often lean toward lighter cornflower blue, and compared with some Australian or Montana stones that can trend toward darker or more muted greenish tones, this Madagascar gem offers an intense saturation that remains lively rather than dull. The mixed brilliant cut enhances this advantage by combining the depth and fire of brilliant faceting with the classic proportions of an oval outline. In practical terms that means more visible sparkle and a richer face up appearance at this 1.10 carat weight than many stones of similar size cut in less efficient styles. The excellent polish contributes further to the gem feeling alive and crisp, which is an important differentiator for anyone comparing online photographs and in hand viewing.

The tiny natural inclusions inside this sapphire are not flaws to hide, they are identifiers that add personality and authenticity. Described as very slightly included at eye level, these internal features are subtle to the naked eye, and they become meaningful under loupe magnification where they act like a unique fingerprint for the stone. Inclusions can take many forms, tiny crystals, minute needles, or delicate growth lines, and each one tells part of the story of formation deep within the earth. For many buyers, visible but minimal inclusions are preferable to flawless lab grown or heavily treated stones, because they confirm the gem s natural origin and geological history. These micro features can also interact with light and the mixed brilliant cut to produce internal flashes and a layered sense of depth that makes the color appear richer and more complex. From a durability standpoint, sapphire is extremely hard and suitable for everyday wear. The modest presence of inclusions does not compromise strength, and the heat treatment applied here is the most widely accepted enhancement in the trade, intended to stabilize and improve color while preserving the stone s long term integrity.

Choosing this sapphire means choosing a balance of rarity, wearable size, and value that is hard to match among the many options on the market. For the customer who wants a distinct bluish green tone rather than a predictable blue, for the client who values natural inclusions as proof of origin, and for the designer who wants a faceted oval that plays beautifully in rings, pendants, or bespoke settings, this gem is an outstanding choice. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem s origin and description, and our experience with Madagascar material allows us to present this piece honestly, including our disclosure of heat treatment. From a value perspective you gain a lot at 1.10 carat a presence on the finger or in a pendant that reads larger than its weight might imply because of the mixed brilliant cut and intense saturation. If you prefer a pairing for earrings or a custom engagement setting, the oval silhouette and classic proportions make matching and mounting straightforward while still allowing the gemstone to remain the star of the piece. We are available to advise on metal choices that will complement the bluish green hue, and on mounting styles that enhance the stone s sparkle or emphasize its calming color.
