The origin of this sapphire in Madagascar adds a layer of provenance that resonates with those who care about where their gemstones come from, and why that matters. Madagascar has become known for producing sapphires with remarkable and often unusual colors, each parcel telling a story of geology and time.

The mixed brilliant cut is a thoughtful choice for a round gem of these dimensions, combining pavilion facets that return light efficiently with a crown arrangement that maximizes sparkle, creating a visual presence that is lively and elegant. Very slightly included clarity means the gem is essentially free of distractions when worn, while maintaining the natural inclusions that confirm its earth born origin. Excellent polish ensures that every facet edge is crisp and every surface is smooth, a craftsmanship detail that elevates the gem from beautiful to sublime.
