1.14 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Tanzania

This yellowish green sapphire begins its story deep in the soils of Tanzania, a land where mica streaked gravels and riverbeds yield crystals that have fascinated collectors for generations. The rough stone was found by experienced hands who have worked those fields for years, and the careful removal from matrix was the first step in a long conversation between nature and craft. From the moment the raw crystal was unearthed, its transparent core and lively color set it apart, suggesting that a judicious cut could coax out an exceptional brilliance. The journey from this remote place to our cutting studios involved not only transport but also a close inspection by gemologists who evaluated the stone for color zoning, clarity, and potential. The result of that patient selection and planning is the 1.14 carat oval shape sapphire you see now, a gem that carries the earthy story of its origin in every tone of its yellow green fire.

In the hands of an expert cutter the rough was given new life through a faceted, mixed brilliant cut that was chosen to maximize both color and scintillation. The oval proportions measure 6.35 by 5.44 by 3.87 mm, and these dimensions create an elegant silhouette that suits both classic and modern settings. The mixed brilliant approach blends the depth and light return of pavilion facets with the lively dispersion of a brilliant crown, so each movement of the hand draws light into the core and returns it as a lively play of facets and flashes. The clarity grade is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the stone reads as clean to most observers while retaining tiny internal features that speak to its natural formation. Its intense color intensity and transparent body allow the green and golden tones to shift gently with angle and light, and the excellent polish ensures that every facet face is a mirror for that color. Importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, so the color, clarity, and finish you enjoy are entirely natural, an unaltered expression of its Tanzanian provenance and the cutter s restraint.

As a piece destined to become a centerpiece in any collection this sapphire carries both story and substance. When set it presents a confident presence, sitting comfortably in a solitaire ring or as the focal point of a halo or three stone composition, and the photographs you see illustrate how it works at finger scale for visual reference.
