1.29 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.29 carat cushion shape pinkish purple sapphire from Madagascar offers a rare and compelling alternative to some of the most storied gems in history, it recalls the velvety depth of a Kashmir sapphire while presenting a distinctly modern pinkish purple hue, it shares the regal presence of the deep purples seen in celebrated amethysts of antiquity, yet it remains uniquely its own with an intense color intensity that glows with lively saturation, the mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation in a way that rivals the fire of legendary diamonds, and the transparent body and very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level mean that the stone offers both brilliance and visual purity at a size that wears beautifully on the finger, the dimensions of 6.11 x 6.10 x 4.01 mm make it ideal as a center stone while preserving balance and light return.

What sets this sapphire apart in the market is provenance and treatment, many historically famous gems are celebrated despite their treatments or heavy inclusions, this Madagascan sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is offered with no enhancement, a true natural color and excellent polish that underscore its real world value versus heat treated or synthetic alternatives, the absence of enhancement makes it rarer and more desirable for collectors who value natural origin, compared to common heated sapphires it demands a premium for its untreated status and for the clarity that allows the mixed brilliant pavilion and crown to play with light, when set it will hold its own next to a pigeon blood ruby or a finely saturated Kashmir blue in terms of impact, yet it remains more wearable and versatile due to its pinkish purple tone, for clients seeking ethical sourcing and traceable origin Madagascar is renowned for producing vivid violet pink sapphires that combine saturation and modern appeal, at The Natural Sapphire Company we pair this gem with expert setting recommendations to highlight the cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant facets, the result is a choice that blends historical gemstone character with contemporary value, making it a standout heirloom quality option.
