One beautiful transparent 1.62 carat oval green sapphire, measuring 7.88 x 6.30 x 3.88 mm, presents a refined mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color saturation. The cutter adopted a brilliant crown to maximize return of light, and a modified step pavilion to concentrate color in the face up orientation, creating a lively play of facets that enhances the intense color intensity of the stone. Eye level clarity is graded very slightly included, indicating that inclusions are minor under unaided vision and do not interrupt overall transparency of the gem, the excellent polish elevates faceted planes to mirror like surfaces that allow clean light transmission, the mixed brilliant faceting reduces windowing and promotes even color distribution across the oval outline, and the oval proportions of 7.88 by 6.30 millimeters with a depth of 3.88 millimeters yield a strong face up weight appeal and stable light return. The sapphire is heat treated to optimize hue and clarity, the treatment is stable and industry standard for sapphires, the stone is sourced from Madagascar where regional geology produces intense green material with good crystallinity, the combination of weight, dimensions, cut, and finish makes this gem an excellent candidate for a fine ring or pendant that demands both technical excellence and visual presence.
From the moment the crystal was unearthed in Madagascar, the journey of this sapphire was governed by deliberate technical decisions, miners and local sorters selected the rough for transparency and color potential, initial planning used loupe and proportion calculations to define a preform that would preserve weight while avoiding prominent inclusions, the mixed brilliant solution was chosen after modeling to ensure the 1.62 carat stone would display maximal color intensity face up, controlled heat treatment was performed by experienced technicians with calibrated kilns to refine hue and reduce silk without compromising crystal integrity, master cutters executed precise facet junctions and angles to achieve an excellent polish and the measured dimensions you see, final quality control included eye level clarity verification and color grading under standardized lighting, provenance documentation and careful packaging conclude the market stage, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with full technical disclosure and a commitment to ethical sourcing, the result is a transparent, intense green oval sapphire that carries both the geological story of Madagascar and the measured craftsmanship that prepares it for distinguished jewelry settings.
