0.63 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 0.63 carat pear shape yellowish green sapphire is a refined example of collector quality material that will translate beautifully into any jewelry piece. Measuring 6.59 by 4.28 by 2.97 mm, this gem has been fashioned as a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation with a pleasing outline, producing both lively face up brilliance and deep internal flashes. Its clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practice means it reads as eye clean to most observers, and its excellent polish ensures facet junctions are crisp and light is returned efficiently. The stone has undergone routine heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its color, a standard and accepted enhancement in the trade that is permanent under normal wear, and its medium intense color intensity places it in a desirable zone where the hue is vivid enough to command attention, yet balanced enough to offer versatility in design.

Color is the principal attribute that makes this sapphire so compelling, and the yellowish green tone will stand out in any jewelry setting by offering a sophisticated alternative to more commonplace blue or pure green sapphires. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to maximize both the depth and clarity of color as well as to create dynamic light performance across the pear silhouette, so the gem will scintillate under direct lighting while also showing a soft, luminous glow in ambient conditions. Madagascar is the stated origin, and sapphires from this region are prized for their unique and sometimes complex color profiles, often exhibiting subtle pleochroism where slightly different color facets reveal yellow or green depending on the viewing angle and light source. That shifting visual character gives this sapphire a living quality, allowing it to catch the eye in a solitaire ring, become the focal point of a pendant, or contrast harmoniously against accent diamonds in a halo setting.

From the perspective of an educated buyer, this sapphire offers several points of value. The combination of a clean appearance at eye level, excellent polish, and a mixed brilliant cut means you are acquiring a gem that will wear with elegance and perform well when mounted. The pear shape is inherently flattering in rings and pendants, visually elongating the finger or neckline, and its dimensions make it suitable for both classic and contemporary designs. Heat treatment is fully disclosed, and such treatment is industry standard, irreversible and stable, requiring no special consideration beyond routine care for corundum. At The Natural Sapphire Company we advise pairing this yellowish green tone with warm metals such as 18 carat yellow gold to accentuate the golden nuances, or with platinum or white gold for a fresher, more modern contrast that will make the green tone read cooler and more sophisticated. Accent diamonds or small green tsavorites can be used to enhance sparkle without competing with the center stone, and a cathedral or bezel setting will protect the pointed end of the pear while showcasing the mixed brilliant cut face up.

In terms of long term ownership, sapphires are durable with a Mohs hardness of 9, and this specimen is well suited for everyday wear with normal care, which consists primarily of avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning only if the mounting and any treatments are compatible. For peace of mind, we recommend documentation of origin and treatments at purchase, and The Natural Sapphire Company provides full disclosure and grading details to support your acquisition. The combination of Madagascar provenance, a pleasing medium intense yellowish green color, a precise mixed brilliant cut, and eye level clarity that presents as very very slightly included makes this sapphire an excellent choice for buyers who value both aesthetic distinction and gemological integrity. Whether set as a distinctive engagement center stone or preserved as a collectible, this pear shape sapphire will make a memorable statement, its vibrant color and refined cut ensuring it stands out in any jewelry setting.
