2.55 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

One beautiful transparent 2.55 carat emerald cut shape green sapphire, with dimensions of 7.81 x 7.05 x 4.75 mm, offers a rare combination of saturated color, refined proportions, and exceptional finish. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select sapphires that stand apart from mass market alternatives, and this Madagascar origin stone is a prime example. Its vivid color intensity gives a lively, deep green that reads more vibrant than the washed out tones sometimes encountered in lower grade material. The clarity grade is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means that when set and viewed in everyday conditions the stone presents a pristine face free of visible inclusions. The excellent polish enhances every facet edge and plane, allowing the stone to perform in light and in design as a premium gem. Heat treated to standard industry practice, the treatment stabilizes and intensifies the hue without compromising the enduring nature of the corundum, making this sapphire a wise choice for both elegant jewelry and long term value.

The emerald cut itself is the key reason this stone looks and feels different compared to round brilliant and other fancy cuts. Unlike brilliant cuts that chase maximum scintillation through numerous tiny facets, the emerald cut uses broad, parallel step facets that create a hall of mirrors effect, a play of light and dark planes that emphasizes depth of color and internal clarity. For a green sapphire, this is especially advantageous, because the cut concentrates the vivid green across larger facet surfaces, allowing the eye to appreciate saturation and tone more uniformly. The dimensions of 7.81 x 7.05 x 4.75 mm yield balanced spread and an appealing face up size, while the depth, sitting around sixty one percent relative to the length, maintains harmony between brilliance and color retention. An excellent polish ensures that each large facet is crisp and reflective, so when light enters the pavilion it is returned in dramatic flashes and soft luminous planes rather than being lost to surface haze or poorly finished facets. The result is a gem that presents controlled brilliance and a sophisticated glow that reads as both contemporary and timeless.

When compared to other stones on the market, this emerald cut green sapphire holds several clear advantages that will matter to discerning buyers. Many green sapphires are cut into more aggressive brilliant styles to maximize apparent sparkle, but that approach can fragment color and make a vivid hue read less consistently. By contrast, the step cut here showcases color as the primary attraction, while preserving a refined luminous character that looks luxurious in larger center settings and graceful in three stone designs. The eye clean clarity grade is a notable point of differentiation, because many comparable stones with similar color require more inclusions to achieve saturation, or they are filled by treatments that are more invasive. Heat treatment in this sapphire follows accepted and stable processes that enhance color without resorting to diffusion or fracture filling, offering peace of mind and longevity. Origin matters as well, and Madagascar has become celebrated for producing sapphires with vibrant and unusual tones, often at a more accessible value than rarities from other sources. Taken together, these attributes make this gem superior in terms of visual impact per dollar when compared to many market offerings that sacrifice color depth, clarity, or cutting finesse.

Choosing this emerald cut green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company means selecting a stone that is aesthetically versatile and technically sound. Its clean face and vivid hue make it ideal as a solitaire centerpiece where the cut can be admired without distraction, and it also pairs beautifully with tapered baguettes or pavé halos that echo its linear geometry. For designers and collectors who want a gem that communicates quality at first glance, the interplay of step facets delivers a distinctive personality that is less common than the ubiquitous round or oval styles, resulting in unique jewelry with an unmistakable character. From a value perspective, the combination of a respected origin, thoughtful cutting and polishing, and conservative enhancement practices translates into a confident purchase that is likely to remain desirable over time. At The Natural Sapphire Company we support every sale with detailed imaging and information, so you can evaluate how the emerald cut interacts with color and light for yourself, and make an informed choice that aligns with your aesthetic and investment priorities.
