1.45 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

Across centuries and continents the allure of sapphire has been woven into crowns, talismans, and heirlooms, carrying meaning and presence that outlast fashion and time. This yellowish green sapphire from Madagascar embodies that long lineage, a gem that speaks of natural wonder and patient earth processes, rendered in a tone both lively and refined. Transparent and bright, its medium intense color offers a balance between vitality and restraint, a hue that reads as garden fresh yet dignified. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone as more than a gem, it is a piece of geological history to be set into a design that will be cherished for generations, a stone that carries the quiet nobility of classic gems and the distinct personality of a single place on the globe.

Measured at 1.45 carats with dimensions of 6.93 by 6.25 by 4.86 millimeters, this fancy shaped sapphire has been cut with thoughtful proportion and a step cut that emphasizes depth, clarity, and architectural geometry. Its clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that under casual wear the gem reads as clear and lively, while under close inspection it reveals natural characteristics that affirm its authenticity and story. The excellent polish enhances the step cut planes, allowing light to play in large, elegant flashes rather than a scatter of tiny facets, a quality that suits both minimal and ornate settings. Because the sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, it retains the integrity and appeal that collectors and bespoke designers prize. The stone sits at a sweet spot of size and presence, ideal for a custom engagement ring center, a striking pendant that rests close to the throat, or as the focal point of a signet or cocktail ring that draws the eye with its uncommon hue.

When designing custom jewelry around this gem, the shape and step cut invite architectural settings that honor the stone rather than overwhelm it. A low bezel will protect the slightly included crystal while highlighting its clean silhouette, a delicate halo of small diamonds will lift the color and create contrast, and an open gallery with soft metal arms will allow light to enter the pavilion and animate the internal planes. Designers at The Natural Sapphire Company recommend considering warm metals to complement the yellowish undertone, or cool white metals to sharpen the green notes and create a modern, refined contrast. Because the stone measures just under seven millimeters across at its widest, it balances presence with wearability, making it suitable for everyday pieces as well as occasional treasures. For clients seeking a legacy piece, this sapphire offers the visual impact of a larger gem while retaining a composure that translates beautifully into rings, pendants, and bespoke designs, ensuring that a custom creation will remain a treasured piece for years to come.
