1.03 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Africa

Imagine holding a treasure that seems to have been touched by sunlight and the whisper of green leaves, a gem that carries an intimate story of earth and light. This beautiful transparent 1.03 carat oval shape yellowish green sapphire is the kind of stone that makes moments memorable, the kind of jewel you reach for when you want to mark a milestone or to give a gift that will be remembered forever. With precise dimensions of 6.94 x 5.23 x 3.47 mm, and a graceful oval silhouette, this sapphire sits close to the skin yet captures and returns light with joyful intensity. Its mixed brilliant cut creates a lively dance of facets, blending the scintillation of a brilliant facet arrangement with the harmony of step facets, while an excellent polish enhances every shimmer. Evaluated at eye level this sapphire carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, which means the tiny natural fingerprints of its formation are discreet and do not interrupt the gaze, instead they attest to a truly natural origin. The intense color intensity is a central part of its charm, a unique yellowish green that feels like an emblem of spring and renewal. Untreated and unenhanced, this gemstone comes from Africa and arrives to you just as nature made it, with a story of origin and authenticity that The Natural Sapphire Company stands proudly behind.

Beyond its glowing beauty, this yellowish green sapphire is crafted by nature to be worn, loved, and lived with every day. Sapphires are known for their exceptional durability, and this example is no exception, carrying a Mohs hardness of 9 which places it among the hardest gem materials available for jewelry. That hardness means it resists scratching from most everyday materials, so it stands up well to the simple habits of modern life. Its toughness and resistance to impact are also favorable, and combined with the secure proportions of its oval shape and exact dimensions, this sapphire is perfectly suited for settings that see daily wear, such as engagement rings, wedding jewelry, or a beloved everyday pendant. The fact that it is unenhanced adds to its long term stability, because there are no treatments that might require special conditions for care. A gem with excellent polish and a well cut profile preserves its brilliance through years of wear, and the mixed brilliant cut helps retain sparkle even under indoor lighting and the varied light of daily life. For those who wear their treasures every day we recommend classic secure settings that offer protection such as low profile prongs or a smooth bezel that lets the stone shine while shielding the girdle, and routine inspections by a trusted jeweler will keep the stone secure and looking its best.

Caring for this gem is straightforward, which is part of what makes it so right for daily wear and for creating lasting memories. Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water, a soft brush, and careful drying will keep the facets singing, and its natural hardness means it tolerates the simple rituals of life far better than many other precious stones. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme conditions, and for peace of mind have your setting checked occasionally so that the sparkle and safety go on together. Imagine this sapphire catching the light on your hand as you reach for a glass on a summer evening, or as it peeks from under a cuff during a quiet morning when you sip coffee, and think of the many small celebrations that will be made luminous by its presence. This single stone, carrying the vibrancy of an African origin and the assurance of no enhancement, can become an heirloom piece, a symbol of love, a marker of achievement, and a daily reminder of beauty and intention. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish the opportunity to match remarkable stones to meaningful moments, and we stand by the quality and story of every sapphire we offer. Whether you choose to wear it, gift it, or set it as the center of a bespoke creation, this yellowish green oval sapphire promises durability, lasting brilliance, and a lifetime of emotional resonance.
