0.79 Ct. Reddish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This 0.79 carat cushion shaped reddish pink sapphire is a perfect example of how weight elevates both rarity and desirability, and it is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company with full attention to provenance and craftsmanship. At 0.79 carat this stone sits just below the important eight tenth carat mark where per carat prices often jump, making it an exceptional opportunity for buyers who want substantial presence without the premium jump that typically occurs at rounded weight thresholds. The gem measures 6.68 x 4.46 x 2.67 mm, a proportion that gives it a generous face up area for its weight, and it displays a transparent body with a medium intense color intensity that reads as a vivid reddish pink in daylight and under jewelry lighting. The mixed brilliant cut brings scintillation and a lively face up appearance, while an excellent polish ensures clean light return and a refined finish. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the absence of any enhancement means this sapphire is completely natural in its color and formation, a feature that significantly enhances its rarity compared with the more common heat treated material seen in many market offerings. Origin Madagascar further underscores its appeal, as sapphires from that region are prized for their attractive pink and red tones and for producing gems that balance color with clarity and cutting potential.

When comparing this 0.79 carat cushion sapphire to other stones available on the market, several advantages become clear. Many consumer options are either smaller stones with less face up presence or larger stones that have undergone heat treatment to intensify color, or fracture filling to improve clarity. Those treatments affect long term value and transparency of origin, and they also complicate resale and appraisal. By contrast this sapphire is untreated, which is a distinguishing attribute in a market where natural state stones command a premium for their authenticity. The mixed brilliant cut is carefully executed to maximize brilliance without sacrificing the cushion silhouette, producing a balance of flash and deep color that is harder to achieve in lower quality material. In terms of practical wearability, the gem dimensions deliver a look that reads larger than its carat weight alone would suggest, giving buyers more visible gem for each carat purchased. Clarity that is very slightly included at eye level means the inclusions do not detract from the gem s beauty, while still reflecting that this is a natural crystal and not a synthetic replica. Compared to common heat treated sapphires of equal carat weight, this untreated Madagascar stone stands out for its provenance, its integrity, and for the confidence it gives to buyers who prioritize natural, unaltered gemstones.

Weight matters in sapphire valuation because as carat size increases, the availability of clean, well colored material typically decreases, making larger specimens exponentially rarer and more valuable. At 0.79 carat this cushion sapphire occupies a sweet spot where rarity begins to accelerate, and yet the price per carat has not reached the steep escalations found above the half carat to carat thresholds in many markets. For collectors and bespoke jewelry designers the weight offers flexibility, allowing for solitaire rings, halo settings, or paired with accent diamonds without necessitating compromise on color or clarity. The physical presence of a gem is often perceived more by its face up dimensions than by carat weight alone, and because this stone is well cut to show its table and pavilion angles effectively, it reads larger and brighter on the finger or pendant. The natural, untreated status of this sapphire compounds its rarity factor, because Madagascar produces many attractive sapphires but not all are found in sizes and clarities suitable for fine jewelry without treatment. The combination of very slightly included clarity, medium intense color intensity, and an excellent polish in an untreated stone weighing 0.79 carat is uncommon enough to appeal to discerning buyers who recognize that weight, when paired with integrity of origin and cut quality, yields both aesthetic and investment advantages. Over time untreated stones from respected origins often retain and appreciate value better than treated equivalents, because they satisfy a market segment that values authenticity and natural formation.
