2.11 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish gemstones that carry the weight of time and the whisper of distant places, and this transparent bluish green sapphire from Madagascar exemplifies that enduring appeal. Its fancy shape evokes the refined geometries favored by classic jewelers, while its step cut recalls the architectural clarity of historic gems, where each facet is a window to the stone beneath. This is a gem that seems to bridge eras, it could be imagined set in an heirloom ring that passes from one generation to the next, a pendant that rests against the heart and gathers light like a small, cultivated sea, or a brooch that crowns a tailored jacket with subtle dignity. The sapphire invites comparison to the great stones of the past, yet it remains thoroughly contemporary in its clean lines and serene presence, making it ideal for clients who value lineage and understated distinction.

The gem measures 10.71 by 7.38 by 5.11 mm, it weighs 2.11 carats, and it presents an intense color intensity that balances blue and green in a manner that shifts gently with movement and light. Its step cut emphasizes depth and clarity, producing broad, mirror like planes that reflect color with an inner calm, and its clarity is graded eye clean at eye level, assuring that the surface appears free of interruptions to the naked eye. The polish is excellent, rendering each facet crisp and luminous, and importantly, there has been no enhancement, allowing collectors to appreciate the unaltered character of a natural sapphire from Madagascar. This provenance is significant, Madagascar sapphires are known for their vivid tones and distinctive hues, which here result in a stone that feels both rooted in a specific landscape and resonant with classical gemological values. The overall effect is one of composed strength, a jewel that speaks less of flash and more of a composed, lasting beauty.

When envisioning this sapphire in a custom piece, classical pairings and considered contrasts will best honor its legacy, a halo of small, old mine cut diamonds set in platinum will amplify the sapphires inner depth, the soft sparkle of antique style diamonds will echo the step cut facets and create a luminous frame that reads as timeless. For a richer palette, pair the center stone with warm, buttery yellow gold shoulders and tapered baguette diamonds, the gold will warm the bluish green and recall the golden settings of historical jewelry, while the linear baguettes will mirror the step cut geometry. A trilogy ring with two pear shaped or marquise teal sapphires flanking the center will create a river of blue green tones, perfect for a design inspired by Victorian three stone compositions. For a more unusual but classical statement, small emerald accents can be used sparingly to enhance the green facet of the color, set in a milgrain bezel for a vintage tableau. As a pendant, the gem can be suspended from a delicate chain with satellite diamond accents, allowing the stone to read as a solitary jewel with the quiet confidence of old world gems. Whether set in platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or a combination, this Madagascar sapphire will translate beautifully into a bespoke heirloom, a piece crafted to be handed down, treasured for its history, and admired for the clarity and depth that The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present.
