1.18 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.18 carat heart shaped yellowish green sapphire from Madagascar exemplifies precision cutting and material integrity, excellent for connoisseurs who prioritize technical detail. The stone measures 6.28 by 6.76 by 3.82 millimeters, yielding a depth percentage of 58.6 percent, a proportion that optimizes light return while preserving pavilion depth for stability. The faceted execution is a mixed brilliant approach, with a brilliant facet arrangement across the crown to maximize scintillation, paired with modified pavilion faceting to preserve saturation and directional light performance. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, providing minimal internal features that contribute to the stone character without compromising transparency. Color intensity is medium, presenting a balanced yellowish green tone that demonstrates even distribution under standard viewing conditions, and the polish is excellent, indicating final lapidary work that achieved crisp facet junctions and minimal surface abrasion. No enhancement has been applied, confirming the natural state of the color and internal structure, and the origin of Madagascar is consistent with the regional typology of hue and crystal habit. The Natural Sapphire Company prepared this gem with attention to symmetry, table alignment, and pavilion angle control to ensure an efficient interplay of brilliance and color.

Durability attributes make this sapphire highly suitable for daily wear in jewelry, the corundum species rates nine on the Mohs scale, conferring outstanding resistance to abrasion and surface wear, and the material exhibits robust toughness with no true cleavage, reducing the risk of catastrophic breakage under normal use. From a setting perspective, the heart outline requires careful mounting at the cleft and the pointed tip, and a V style prong at the point or a low bezel incorporating a protective shoulder at the cleft will offer long term security without compromising light performance. Routine care is straightforward, warm water with mild detergent and a soft brush will maintain brilliance, and professional inspection of prongs and setting integrity is recommended periodically. Ultrasonic cleaning is generally acceptable for untreated sapphires that lack significant fracture filling, however confirm suitability with a gem professional given the presence of very slight inclusions. For buyers seeking a daily wearable statement stone with technical refinement, this heart shape yellowish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a well proportioned, untreated, and meticulously finished option, engineered to perform in everyday jewelry applications.
