1.55 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.55 carat oval purplish pink sapphire measures 7.96 by 5.93 by 3.77 millimeters, and presents a harmonious length to width ratio of approximately 1.34, giving it an elegant face up appearance that sits well in both classic and contemporary settings. The stone exhibits medium color intensity, a hue that reads as a balanced purplish pink under natural light, and it is unheated with no enhancement, a feature that significantly increases desirability among informed buyers. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minor internal characteristics that do not materially diminish transparency or brilliance, and contribute to the gem's natural identity without compromising durability. The excellent polish maximizes smooth facet junctions and surface finish, preserving the stone’s lustre and offering superior resistance to wear, traits that collectors and designers value when specifying a premium sapphire.

The mixed brilliant cut on this oval sapphire is engineered to exploit sapphire’s inherent refractive properties, marrying a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a complementary pavilion design to optimize both return of white light and localized flashes of color. With an overall depth of approximately fifty four percent relative to the average diameter, light entering the gem is directed and internally reflected in a manner that enhances scintillation and depth of color without leaking excessively through the pavilion, so the face up presentation appears lively and saturated. The cut’s facet proportions and excellent polish accentuate dispersion and contrast, producing crisp sparkle and attractive field of play when the stone moves, while the oval outline preserves a generous apparent size for its weight. Sourced from Madagascar, a region noted for producing sapphires with vivid and stable hues, this stone represents a rare combination of natural origin, uncompromised treatment status, and thoughtful cutting. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this purplish pink oval as a refined option for an educated buyer seeking a natural, well cut, and visually engaging sapphire that will perform beautifully in a bespoke ring or pendant.
