0.71 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.71 carat oval yellowish green sapphire measures 5.65 by 4.71 by 2.88 millimeters, and presents a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brightness and pavilion reflection. The color is medium intense, showing a clear yellow green tone that reads green in certain lights and yellow in others, and the gem benefits from excellent polish that enhances its luster. Clarity is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, offering natural internal characteristics that do not dominate the visual presentation, and the stone has been heat treated to optimize color and clarity. Sourced from Madagascar, this sapphire carries the geological and aesthetic signatures associated with that origin, and this description is provided by The Natural Sapphire Company.

When considered for a custom piece, this sapphire pairs well with cool white metals and warm yellow or rose metals depending on the desired contrast and overall effect. For a classic, refined look, surround the oval with small, white brilliant cut diamonds to amplify brightness and create a halo that increases perceived size while allowing the subtle yellow green color to remain the focal point. For a nature inspired palette, combine the sapphire with small green tsavorites or green tourmalines to deepen the green aspect, or with pale mint or peridot accents to emphasize the yellow component. If a tonal gradient is preferred, set the center stone in yellow gold and frame it with champagne or cognac diamonds to create a layered warmth that complements the stone without overpowering it. For modern minimalism, a low profile bezel or a simple prong solitaire in platinum or white gold will showcase the mixed brilliant cut and the stone clarity, allowing light to play through the pavilion and deliver steady scintillation. Design choices such as asymmetric side stones, tapered baguettes, or a delicate split shank can further tailor balance and visual weight, while careful selection of metal color and accent stones will determine whether the final piece reads as fresh and contemporary, or as warm and classic.
