3.02 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

A rare and singular treasure, this transparent green sapphire captures attention the instant light meets its table, and the presence it commands is both quietly majestic and unmistakably refined. Weighing 3.02 carats, cut into a crisp emerald outline, and measuring 7.84 x 7.15 x 5.18 mm, the stone presents the kind of proportion and balance that collectors seek, and connoisseurs appreciate. The vivid color intensity is deep yet luminous, a rich forest green that shifts subtly with movement, offering moments of teal and pine that keep the eye engaged. Eye clean at standard observation distance, the clarity of this gem allows light to pass untroubled through its pavilion and step facets, revealing a clarity and depth usually reserved for the finest specimens. The excellent polish enhances every facet edge, giving the gem an elegant mirror like sheen that accentuates its emerald cut geometry. Originating in Madagascar, a source now celebrated for producing exceptional sapphires with distinctive character, this gem holds geological provenance that adds both cachet and measurable rarity.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Sapphire Company I can assure you that a piece like this belongs in an atelier created specifically for it, rather than a formulaic mass produced setting. The emerald cut is inherently architectural, and when set in a bespoke ring, pendant, or cuff it becomes a wearable sculpture, a statement piece with the kind of restraint that guarantees timelessness. Heat treatment, a standard and stable enhancement for sapphires, has been applied to bring forward the stone s inherent color potential, and it has been executed to a high degree of permanence and integrity. This balance of thoughtful enhancement and natural quality results in a gem that wears beautifully, and that will continue to display its clarity and color through generations. Imagine a custom design that celebrates the stone s rectangular symmetry, perhaps with delicate rails of platinum to contrast the green, or warm 18 karat gold to introduce classic glamour, each option preserving the gem s original character while creating a bespoke heirloom.

A sapphire of this caliber becomes more than jewelry, it becomes an heirloom that carries family narratives, anniversaries, and rites of passage, a rare piece to pass from hand to hand. Its 3.02 carat weight is substantial without being ostentatious, making it ideal for daily elegance, and its durability as a corundum mineral with a Mohs hardness of 9 means it can withstand the rhythms of life when set with care. The way the emerald cut frames the stone s color field encourages thoughtful settings that protect the gem s corners while allowing the table and step facets to breathe, ensuring that future custodians will experience the same visual drama you admire today. With provenance from Madagascar, expert cutting, and eye clean clarity, it is a gem that is ready to enter a family story. From engagement presentations to milestone celebrations, this sapphire will weather fashion trends and serve as a constant emblem of taste and heritage.
