1.54 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the moment this green sapphire first formed deep within the sands and metamorphic soils of Madagascar, it began a journey that only a few stones are privileged to complete. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in tracing that journey from the place of origin to the hands of the cutter and finally to the jeweler who will set it. This 1.54 carat oval sapphire was gently coaxed from its host rock, examined for its honest character, and left untreated so that its natural voice may be heard. The stone carries the quiet story of its island home, a story of patient geologic time, mineral complexity, and artisanal care. Each facet has been cut and polished with respect for that origin, an excellent polish that lets the light reveal the stone rather than hide it, and a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level that speaks to its authenticity and natural formation. No enhancement has altered its color, so the medium intense green you see is the same color that entered the cutter's hands in Madagascar.

Viewed close up, the sapphire measures 7.67 x 5.99 x 4.05 mm, a refined oval silhouette that flatters and conforms gently to many designs, and it has a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and face up color. The mixed brilliant arrangement of facets gives this transparent gem a lively heart, a combination of flash and depth that changes with movement. In bright light the green shows its fresher grass notes, while in softer light it deepens to an olive or forest tone, offering a small theater of color play as the gem is worn. The stone sits with a transparency that allows internal light paths to sparkle, and the very slightly included clarity ensures that the gem retains personality without distraction. The cut proportions and the excellent polish work together to maximize brilliance and comfort, making it a gem that reads as both technically accomplished and warmly natural.

When set into jewelry this green sapphire becomes more than an object, it becomes a companion to the wearer, harmonizing with skin tones in beautiful ways. For fair skin, the medium intense green offers a fresh and almost dewy contrast, especially when set in white metals such as platinum or white gold that emphasize the cooler undertones and create an elegant, modern aesthetic. For warm or peachy complexions the same green takes on a sunlit warmth when paired with yellow gold or rose gold, the metals coaxing out golden glints within the stone and creating an inviting, vintage inspired look. For olive or neutral undertones the sapphire sits in near perfect balance, neither warming nor cooling the complexion, which makes it especially versatile for daily wear. For deeper skin tones the medium intense color sings with vibrancy, standing out with a noble presence and reading as both bold and refined, particularly when haloed by small diamonds or framed in a high contrast setting. Because the green ranges from grassy to olive depending on light, the gem is forgiving in design, working beautifully in solitaire rings, three stone pieces, delicate pendants, or architectural settings that show off the mixed brilliant cut.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we imagine this gemstone leaving our care in a design that respects its journey, perhaps cradled in a handcrafted bezel that shows the profile and protects the girdle, or set in a minimal prong mounting that lets breath and light into its pavilion. The unenhanced nature of this Madagascar sapphire makes it an honest choice for those who seek authentic color with environmental and cultural awareness, and we welcome custom commissions that let the stone tell its own story. Measurements of 7.67 x 5.99 x 4.05 mm and a weight of 1.54 carats make it a classic size for an engagement ring or an heirloom pendant, while the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish ensure long lasting sparkle.
