This exquisite bi color sapphire is a rare offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, a gem curated for the collector who seeks individuality and distinction, a stone that embodies both subtlety and drama, and a piece that will sit at the center of any high end collection. We present a transparent 1.49 carat oval sapphire, with precise dimensions of 6.72 x 5.74 x 4.52 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines the depth of a step or pavilion cut with the scintillation of brilliant facets. The effect is a controlled fire and lively return of light that plays across the surface as the angle of view shifts. Originating from Madagascar, a provenance prized for producing unique, characterful sapphires, this gem carries with it the cachet of a respected source, and it has been heat treated to gently enhance its inherent color and clarity in a manner that is stable and enduring.
The defining charm of this gem is its bi color expression, a rare and coveted phenomenon that offers two complementary tones within one single crystal, a quality highly sought after by connoisseurs. In this stone a soft blue meets a pale yellow to create a serene, sophisticated duet of color, with medium color intensity that allows both hues to be appreciated without overpowering one another. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes the interaction between these tones, creating flashes of icy blue and warm champagne that migrate as the gem is moved, a play of light that is never static. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone remains visually clean and highly transparent to the naked eye, with only minor inclusions that do not detract from its beauty or brilliance. An excellent polish ensures that each facet edge is crisp and reflective, enhancing the stone s overall luminosity and making it an immediate focal point when set.
Collectors will appreciate the tactile and visual balance of this sapphire, its size and proportions offering versatility for a range of bespoke settings, from an elegant solitaire for a statement ring to a refined pendant that sits close to the heart. At 1.49 carats the stone is substantial on the finger yet refined enough to be worn daily, a versatile presence that is at once sporty and regal, modern and timeless. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to bring forward both depth and sparkle, allowing the pavilion facets to deliver strong return of light and clean windowing, while the crown facets scatter light into lively scintillation. This balance makes the gem an exceptional candidate for designs that require both presence and intricate light performance, and it invites collaboration with skilled jewelers to create a bespoke mount that will honor the stone s dual personality.
