This offering from The Natural Sapphire Company is a transparent bi color sapphire weighing 0.95 carat, presented in an elegant oval shape with exact dimensions of 6.94 x 5.63 x 3.08 mm. The gem has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances larger crown facets with a well faceted pavilion, creating a versatile profile suitable for many settings. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, producing an eye clean appearance that allows light to travel freely through the crystal lattice. Color intensity is classified as intense, with a vivid expression of dual tones that remain distinct yet harmonious across the table and along the girdle. Surface finish is excellent, the polish rendering facet junctions crisp and reflective. Enhancement has been disclosed as heat treated, consistent with common and stable sapphire treatments, and the material is sourced from Madagascar, a region recognized for producing sapphires with saturated hues and attractive zoning.
Optically this sapphire demonstrates how meticulous cutting and superb surface finish can create an impression of flawlessness that enhances beauty from every angle. The mixed brilliant cut directs incoming light to the center of the stone, where the interaction of crown window and pavilion mirror planes produces concentrated brilliance and scintillation. Each facet edge, sharpened by an excellent polish, contributes to crisp light return and precise sparkle, so that movement of the stone yields lively flashes of white light and shifting color. The bi color nature is emphasized by the balanced pavilion depth and the measured table size, permitting the darker and lighter tones to alternate as the gem is tilted, without one tone overwhelming the other. Transparency amplifies the color saturation, so that the intense hues appear to glow from within, while the very slightly included clarity allows the internal character of the sapphire to remain unobtrusive to the naked eye, reinforcing a perception of visual purity that reads as virtually flawless in everyday wear.
From a practical and design perspective the proportions of this 0.95 carat oval make it particularly adaptable, with the 3.08 mm depth supporting secure settings that maintain strong optical performance. The gem is well suited to classic prong mounts that maximize face up area, and to low bezel profiles that emphasize stability while showcasing the bi color shift. The durable corundum structure of sapphire ensures suitability for daily wear when set and maintained correctly, and the disclosed heat treatment is stable under normal conditions. For routine care we recommend gentle cleaning with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shock, and professional inspection of the setting periodically to ensure security. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the description of this gem, confirming origin and treatment as stated, and providing accurate measurements and grading so that designers and collectors can select this stone with confidence, appreciating how its precise cut, intense color, and eye clean presentation combine to create a gem whose apparent flawlessness enhances its beauty from every viewing angle.
