0.87 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This exquisite yellowish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is the very definition of quiet luxury, a gem that announces discernment without ostentation. We present a transparent, round shaped sapphire weighing 0.87 carats, measuring 5.63 x 5.69 x 3.12 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances fire and windowed brilliance with perfect proportion. Its intense color intensity is a rare and captivating yellowish green, a hue that shifts subtly under different light and reveals both verdant and sunlit notes. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very very slightly included, a level of purity that allows uninterrupted passage of light while preserving the natural character that connoisseurs prize. The polish is excellent, every facet plane refined to deliver crisp, mirror like reflections, and importantly this sapphire is offered without enhancement, preserving the original signature of its Madagascar origin and making it an acquisition that speaks to provenance and authenticity.

In the realm of green gemstones, reflective qualities are an essential element of desirability, and this Madagascar sapphire performs with a finesse that sets it apart. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize scintillation and return of light, producing lively flashes that dance across the table and crown much like a fine blue sapphire, yet with a warmth and individuality unique to greenish yellow material. Compared to peridot, this sapphire displays greater depth and control of light, with higher refractive strength that yields more defined facet reflections and longer lasting scintillation. Against tsavorite garnet, which is celebrated for vivid green and high dispersion that produces overt fire, this sapphire offers a more sophisticated, restrained brilliance, favoring polished facet contrast over overt spectral flashes. When placed beside emerald, the difference is equally striking, emeralds often show a softer, velvety luster with visible garden like inclusions that diffuse light, while this sapphire remains transparent and lively, delivering clean, crystalline reflections that read as modern and refined. Compared to alexandrite and other color changing stones, which invite fascination through dramatic color shift, this sapphire offers consistency of allure, a dependable radiance that complements daily wear and coveted heirloom pieces alike. The result is a gem that occupies a rare position between the exuberant fire of garnet and the pure, mirror like brilliance of fine sapphires, producing optical performance that is both elegant and engaging.

Owning this sapphire is a statement of refined taste and judicious connoisseurship, an object for those who appreciate the quiet confidence of natural beauty preserved and presented with exacting standards. The lack of enhancement enhances its desirability for collectors, and Madagascar provenance adds an element of modern rarity, as this island yields hues and crystal clarity that are increasingly sought after. For jewelry design, the gem adapts effortlessly to multiple settings, yellow gold will emphasize the warmer, golden undertones and create a vintage inspired glow, white gold or platinum will lend a contemporary crispness that heightens contrast and perceived brilliance, and a delicate diamond halo can intensify play of light while preserving the stone as the visual and emotional focal point. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recommend a setting that allows light to enter freely from the pavilion and crown, enabling the mixed brilliant cut to reveal its full personality, whether as the discreet central stone in a fine solitaire or as the nuanced heart of a custom ensemble. To own this yellowish green Madagascar sapphire is to possess more than a jewel, it is to possess a wearable testament to natural rarity, expert cutting, and the cultivated taste that recognizes true value.
