0.97 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

At The Natural Sapphire Company we often speak about gemstones as living connections to the earth, and this 0.97 carat cushion shape yellowish green sapphire is a perfect example of that enduring bond. This gem measures 7.18 x 4.43 x 3.33 mm, it is transparent, and it carries a hue that bridges green and yellow with a medium color intensity that offers both cheer and subtlety. Its mixed brilliant cut was chosen to harmonize and amplify the stone's internal fire, while the cushion silhouette recalls centuries of classic jewelry design that has been treasured by generations. This sapphire comes to you with no enhancement, a rarity in a market where many stones are treated, and its origin is Madagascar, an island known for producing sapphires of exceptional character. The combination of natural origin, honest presentation, and refined proportions makes this gem not only beautiful, but also a meaningful example of nature preserved for the next generation.

The workmanship on this stone is evident in every facet, it carries an excellent polish that allows light to move through and reflect with a clarity that delights the eye. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a designation that speaks to the stone's near pristine appearance when set and worn, while still being a genuine natural crystal with tiny inclusions that testify to its authenticity. The mixed brilliant cut blends brilliant style facets with step facets to optimize scintillation and depth, creating a dance of light that is both lively and refined. A cushion shape lends a soft, antiqued elegance that suits a wide range of settings from classic solitaires to halo or three stone designs, making this sapphire a versatile candidate for an heirloom piece. The yellowish green color is uncommon, it carries connotations of renewal and prosperity, and when combined with the stone's transparency and fine polish, it delivers a luminous presence that is quietly arresting.

For a gift that intends to mark a milestone or to convey a deep and lasting sentiment, this sapphire makes a striking choice. Its historical echo is immediate, as cushion cuts and richly colored sapphires have been the signposts of noble and romantic intentions for centuries. Gifting this gem is not merely a present, it is the passing along of a story, a pledge that will be worn close to the heart. Whether presented as an engagement stone for someone who values distinction and tradition, as an anniversary gift to commemorate shared time and growth, or as a personal reward that honors achievement and perseverance, the sapphire’s classic shape and gentle green gold tone speak to wisdom, balance, and enduring affection. Imagine the reaction when a loved one lifts the setting to the light and sees the mixed brilliant facets flash, that instant of wonder becomes a memory that can be cherished and told for years to come.

We at The Natural Sapphire Company stand behind the provenance and quality of every gem we offer, and this Madagascar sapphire is no exception. Its unenhanced state, precise dimensions, and balanced color and clarity are the kind of attributes we seek when curating stones that will become the centerpieces of families in time. If you are considering this sapphire as a gift, think about a setting that complements its cushion shape and yellowish green hue, perhaps a warm metal like rose or yellow gold to accentuate its golden notes, or a refined white metal setting to heighten its green clarity and brilliance. Our team can assist with selection of a setting or provide bespoke design services to ensure that the final piece respects both the gem’s character and the sentiment behind the gift. Choosing this sapphire is choosing a legacy, a tangible and beautiful piece of the earth turned into an enduring expression of love and recognition.
