1.15 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

When you are searching for a gemstone that answers both the heart and the connoisseurs eye, you want clarity of purpose as much as clarity of stone. You want a gem that holds color and life under every light, that balances presence and wearability, and that promises authenticity and provenance. This 1.15 carat cushion shape pinkish purple sapphire from Madagascar, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, meets those needs precisely. With dimensions of 5.47 x 5.46 x 3.72 mm, a transparent body, a vivid color intensity, a clarity grade of slightly included at eye level, an excellent polish, and no enhancement, this sapphire is a true example of nature and expert cutting working in harmony. The mixed brilliant cut gives this stone a lively personality, while the cushion outline lends it an elegant softness that sits beautifully in both modern and classic settings. For anyone seeking an engagement stone that feels both rare and wearable, or a collector wishing to add a distinctly hued sapphire with clean provenance, this gem completes the search.

Understanding how the cut elevates the inherent light properties of this sapphire will help you appreciate the thought behind its presentation. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a more step oriented approach on parts of the pavilion, creating a choreography of angles that encourages both intense return of light and controlled color distribution. In a pinkish purple sapphire where hue and saturation are central to desirability, the mixed brilliant pattern prevents the gem from appearing flat or windowed by ensuring that light entering the crown is redirected through a sequence of internal reflections before exiting, producing scintillation and fire while maintaining depth of color. The cushion shape with slightly rounded corners softens the visual outline, which allows the eye to perceive more continuous flashes of light rather than isolated pinpoints, and this contributes to the gem feeling larger and more luminous than its carat weight alone might suggest. Skilled faceting ensures that each plane is aligned to favor maximum brightness in common lighting environments, from daylight to indoor lamps, making the jewel perform beautifully in every moment you wear it.

Clarity and polish are equally important partners to the cut, and this sapphire is carefully evaluated to balance purity with natural character. Slight inclusions evaluated at eye level indicate that the stone is transparent and free of anything that would interrupt its overall brilliance, while subtle internal features can add a fingerprint of natural origin that many collectors and bespoke clients value. The excellent polish amplifies the cut design, smoothing facet junctions so that light glides across surfaces without disruption, producing crisp reflections and lively flashes. Importantly, this gem has no enhancement, which means the vivid pinkish purple color is natural to the stone as it formed in Madagascar. For those who prioritize untampered beauty, this assurance elevates the sapphire from a beautiful choice to a responsible one. The proportions expressed by the 5.47 x 5.46 x 3.72 mm measurements provide a pleasing spread when set in a ring, pendant, or custom piece, and the modest pavilion depth contributes to both comfort and secure setting options.
