This pear shaped bi color sapphire carries the weight of centuries of gemstone lore, a jewel that would have pleased ancient courts and traveling traders alike, this 1.10 carat stone echoes the legacy of sapphires used by kings and healers for their supposed protection and wisdom, its pear shape recalls the tear and leaf forms favored in classical jewelry, a silhouette that translates across eras, the mixed brilliant cut breathes modern life into an archetypal form, and the shifting blue and green hues invite comparisons to the sea and forest motifs prized in both Eastern and Western traditions, sourced from Madagascar, a region whose gem bearing soils have recently joined the long list of places that contributed to the stories of precious stones traded along historic routes, at The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that provenance by presenting this sapphire as a living link to those traditions.
