0.84 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

This pinkish purple sapphire began its journey in Madagascar, where it was extracted and identified as gem quality at the source. Weighing 0.84 carat and measuring 5.74 x 5.69 x 3.34 mm, the rough material was selected for its transparency and strong inherent color. The decision to cut the stone into a round mixed brilliant shape was made to balance color saturation with optical performance, the mixed brilliant facet arrangement enhancing both scintillation and color depth. During cutting and preforming the cutter prioritized proportions that preserve weight while opening the pavilion to allow light to return through the crown, refining facets to achieve an even table and precise facet junctions. The result is a transparent gem with intense color intensity, and a clarity grading of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, details that indicate minor natural inclusions which do not detract from visual appeal. The sapphire has not been treated or enhanced in any way, and an excellent polish ensures crisp facet reflections and a lively surface finish.

After cutting the sapphire underwent a careful assessment and quality control process, including measurement verification and grading consistent with standard gemological criteria. The combined attributes of weight, mixed brilliant cut, and intense pinkish purple color make the stone particularly suitable for fine jewelry settings that aim to showcase color and brilliance concurrently. At The Natural Sapphire Company the gem is catalogued with full technical specifications, origin information, and clarity and polish notes, enabling transparent communication with clients and jewelry partners. From the mine in Madagascar, through cutting and finishing, to final inspection and presentation, the sapphire’s journey reflects deliberate choices at each stage to preserve natural character, optical performance, and clarity, resulting in a ready to set gemstone that meets exacting workmanship and identification standards.
