1.05 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.05 carat radiant shape yellowish green sapphire from Madagascar combines measured proportions and expert cutting to showcase both color and brilliance. At 6.71 x 4.77 x 3.26 mm the faceted radiant cut has been executed to maximize color saturation and light return, and the gem displays an intense color intensity with a lively yellow green hue that shifts slightly with viewing angle. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, which in practical terms means there are minor internal characteristics that are typical of natural sapphires and do not materially detract from the gems brilliance or durability. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and clean reflections, and the stone is unenhanced, which significantly increases its desirability for discriminating buyers who prioritize natural, untreated material. With a Mohs hardness of 9, sapphire is well suited to daily wear, making this piece versatile for engagement rings, dress rings, pendants, or bespoke designs.
