2.57 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

A singular moment of natural elegance arrives in the form of this transparent 2.57 carat cushion shape green sapphire, a gem that embodies discreet power and cultivated taste. At a refined 8.44 by 6.51 by 5.03 millimeters it offers a presence on the finger or pendant that is immediately conspicuous without ever becoming ostentatious, the balanced proportions lending themselves to classic and contemporary settings alike. Expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, the pavilion facets and larger crown facets collaborate to deliver both scintillation and depth, a dual personality that reveals flashes of brilliance as light moves across the surface while simultaneously inviting the eye into a deep, velvety green. Graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, with an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, this sapphire reads as pristine in both condition and character. Heat treated to enhance and stabilize its color, and traced to the storied soils of Madagascar, this stone carries both the romance of provenance and the assurance of enduring tone, a combination that our clients at The Natural Sapphire Company know and seek.

The optical drama of this green sapphire is created by the marriage of its hue and cut, the intense green shifting from forest to bottle tones depending on angle and light, a quality that gives the gem an almost living quality. The mixed brilliant cutting style ensures that light is returned with lively sparkle across the crown while the cushion outline softens the geometry, producing an elegant silhouette that flatters the hand and the neckline. The excellent polish allows each facet to act as a tiny mirror, enhancing contrast and delivering a crisp, clean appearance. In sunlight the stone flares with cool verdant flashes, and under soft evening illumination it deepens to an almost mysterious, seductive green. The overall clarity, assessed as eye clean at eye level, means that the gem communicates purity and refinement to an admirer without distraction, a hallmark of the kind of rarity that clients of The Natural Sapphire Company prize. The result is a jewel that feels both contemporary in its cut and timeless in its color, a rare convergence that elevates any bespoke piece.

When imagined in a custom setting the possibilities are sumptuous and varied, each choice accentuating different aspects of the sapphire. Paired with a halo of fine white diamonds, the intense green is framed by pure light, producing a vivid contrast that amplifies color and presence, creating a centerpiece that reads as regal and impeccably finished. For a warmer, more opulent story, a trio of graduated yellow sapphires or champagne diamonds flanking the green cushion will introduce golden echoes that enrich the green and produce a luminous warmth that sings against 18 karat yellow gold. For a softer, more romantic aesthetic, delicate pink sapphires set in rose gold will lend a modern feminine edge, the pink counterpoint making the green appear fresher and more luminous. If one prefers a tone on tone approach, carefully matched tsavorite garnets or darker green accent stones can create a layered verdant composition that feels like a private forest, best suited to a platinum or white gold framework that lets the greens sit pure and deep. Consider also design features, a low profile bezel for daily wear, a raised cathedral setting to maximize light play, or tapered baguette side stones to elongate and refine the silhouette, each element customized to both lifestyle and the visual dialogue one wishes to create.
