3.52 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the weathered hills of Madagascar to the quiet light of a jeweler s loupe, this green sapphire has a story that begins long before it became a gem you can hold. Deep in the island s ancient geology, narrow seams of corundum were coaxed from metamorphic rock by miners who read the land the way generations before them did, with patience and skill. This particular crystal was discovered in that rugged landscape, its rough surface hiding the promise of a lively green when viewed through the right hands. At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace every stone back to its source, and this sapphire carries the fingerprint of Madagascar s soils and seasons, a signature of place that gives it personality and provenance you can feel. The journey from mine to market is not simply logistics, it is a respect for the stone itself, a sequence of choices that preserve its natural beauty while preparing it for the light it will one day capture on someone s jewelry.

Once selected for its color and clarity, the rough entered the workshop where the cutter began the sensitive work of translating potential into brilliance. The cutter chose an oval outline and a mixed brilliant cut to balance fire and color saturation, a decision made to maximize the sapphire s intense green while keeping lively scintillation across the crown. The finished gem is a transparent 3.52 carat oval, measuring 9.25 x 7.49 x 6.53 millimeters, with a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. No enhancements were applied, so the vibrant tone is wholly natural. Each facet was calibrated to the stone s internal structure to reveal depth of color without sacrificing light return, and the mixed brilliant faceting brings a modern sparkle to an ancient mineral. The result is a stone with presence and purity, ready to be translated into a treasured piece of jewelry.

What makes this green sapphire especially exciting for customization is the combination of its oval shape, comfortable dimensions, and clean, intense hue. An oval lends itself to a wide range of settings, from classic to contemporary, and the proportions of 9.25 by 7.49 by 6.53 millimeters sit beautifully as a center in solitaire engagement rings, as a horizontal centerpiece in east west styles, and as a focal gemstone in pendant designs. The mixed brilliant cut reflects light in a way that plays extremely well with diamond accents, creating contrast between bright white sparkle and deep green color. For someone seeking a statement ring, a halo of pavé diamonds will enhance perceived size and bring a brilliant frame to the intense color. For everyday elegance, a smooth bezel will protect the stone while offering a sleek silhouette that suits a pendant or a low profile ring. For a vintage inspired look, a millgrain bezel with delicate filigree shoulders will echo the stone s soft oval while adding a crafted antique feel.

Design possibilities expand further when you consider metal and accent pairing, and each choice writes a new line in the sapphire s story. Set in platinum or white gold, the green reads cool and modern, especially when paired with colorless diamonds that emphasize brilliance. Set in yellow or rose gold, the same gem takes on a warmer, more romantic character, the green glowing against the golden backdrop. Consider a three stone ring with tapered baguette diamonds to accentuate the oval s length, or a trio design where the center sapphire is flanked by matched green sapphires for a tone on tone harmony. For earrings, matched pairs of smaller ovals or a single pendant ear drop can be suspended from diamond halos for evening glamour. For mens jewelry, a bold bezel set green sapphire makes a distinguished cufflink or signet, its moderate size providing presence without overwhelming the design. Because the clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, those tiny natural features become part of the stone s identity rather than a detraction, and careful setting choices will protect the gem while showcasing its best angles.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we do more than supply the stone, we collaborate on the creation. Your design consultation begins with the live observation of the gem, where we discuss metal selection, accent stones, mounting styles, and practical considerations like lifestyle and wearability. We offer computer aided design previews so you can see how the 9.25 by 7.49 by 6.53 millimeter oval will sit on a finger or hang from a chain. Our bench team can execute classic prong mounts that let light flood the pavilion, secure bezels for a piece that will be worn daily, or bespoke, sculptural settings that hold the stone in an architectural embrace. If you prefer a vintage silhouette we can craft intricate shoulders, engraving and milgrain, if modern minimalism is your aim we can create clean lines and tension inspired mounts that place the gem center stage. Certification and documentation accompany the stone so you will own not only a handcrafted jewel but also a recorded provenance, a map of the gem s journey from Madagascar to the finished piece.

This green sapphire is ready to become a personal heirloom, to travel from the earth s patience into the curated form that will live on a hand, at the throat, or on a cuff. It embodies Madagascar s geological voice and the meticulous care of cutter and polisher, arriving as a transparent 3.52 carat oval with an intense color intensity, mixed brilliant cut, and excellent polish, unenhanced and wholly natural. Whether you imagine it surrounded by diamonds as an engagement ring, cradled in a liquid yellow gold bezel for daily wear, or paired with other colored gems for a custom statement, The Natural Sapphire Company will guide each decision to honor the stone s character.
