1.55 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

From the mineral rich soils of Madagascar this purplish pink sapphire began its long journey as a crystal formed under intense pressure and gentle heat over millions of years. Local miners uncovered the rough, and that rough made its way into the hands of master cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company, where every facet was considered and every angle planned. The result is a transparent 1.55 carat cushion shape sapphire, measuring 5.94 x 5.81 x 4.88 mm, cut in a faceted style with a mixed brilliant cut. Its intense color intensity and excellent polish allow the stone to present a strong, emotive hue, while the clarity grade of included evaluated at eye level speaks to natural character rather than artificial intervention. This sapphire has no enhancement, and that purity of origin is part of the story you wear.

Under bright natural daylight this cushion sapphire offers an open, lively face up appearance, the purplish pink tones leaning slightly toward pink when the sun is high, and revealing subtle violet depth when light passes through the pavilion. In softer indoor incandescent light the warmth of the stone blooms, the pink aspect becoming richer and more romantic, with flashes of brilliance from the mixed brilliant cut dancing across the table and crown. Under candlelight the gem becomes intimate and glowing, small inclusions taking on the look of tiny hallmarks of its journey, while the excellent polish lets pinpoint scintillation catch the eye with each movement. Fluorescent or cool LED lighting can emphasize the cooler violet notes, and in evening or twilight the stone retains presence, showing pleasing contrast between its internal color and the flashes of white sparkle that the cutting design encourages. The mixed brilliant cut balances fire and scintillation, so under a spotlight you will see bursts of spectral color, and in everyday wear you will enjoy steady, lively life.

When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing both story and skill, a gem that speaks of Madagascar origins and careful human hands. Its 1.55 carat weight and 5.94 x 5.81 x 4.88 mm dimensions give it a refined presence that sits beautifully in a ring or pendant, and the fact that it is unenhanced means you are wearing a stone in its authentic state. Our cutters have shaped and polished this cushion to celebrate its natural personality, and we are glad to help you imagine how it will perform in the specific lighting of your life, whether that is sunlight by the sea, evening candlelight, or the everyday lights of the city.
