1.50 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This is a transparent 1.50 carat emerald cut yellowish green sapphire, measuring 6.90 by 5.47 by 4.19 mm, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone shows an emerald cut that emphasizes clarity and clean, linear facet architecture, creating a sophisticated face up appearance with strong light return and subtle step facet flashes. It has a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the small natural inclusions have minimal impact on brilliance or durability while confirming the stone is natural. Color is intense, with a yellowish green hue that is both distinctive and versatile, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet edges and bright reflections. There has been no enhancement, a feature that considerably increases value for educated buyers who prioritize untreated material, and the sapphire originates from Madagascar, a source known for delivering sapphires with lively color and good crystallographic quality. Taken together, the combination of a clean emerald cut, intense natural color, no enhancement, and Madagascar origin positions this sapphire as a collector grade gem that will appeal to buyers seeking investment quality and aesthetic refinement.

For a custom piece, this yellowish green emerald cut sapphire pairs beautifully with complementary gemstones and metals to create balanced color dynamics and visual interest. A halo of single cut or small brilliant diamonds will enhance perceived size and add scintillation without overpowering the main stone, while baguette diamonds set on the shoulders will echo the emerald cut geometry for a cohesive look. For bolder color contrast, consider flanking the center sapphire with warm yellow sapphires or cognac colored sapphires to enrich the yellow tones, or with tsavorite garnets for a vivid, monochrome green ensemble with varied saturation. Metal selection also influences perception of color, with 18 karat yellow gold warming and intensifying the yellow notes, and 18 karat white gold or platinum providing a cool frame that emphasizes green and increases contrast. In a pendant or ring, an east west setting can modernize the step cut, while a three stone configuration gives classical balance and storytelling potential. As a salesperson at The Natural Sapphire Company, I recommend viewing the sapphire under both daylight and incandescent lighting when planning the custom design, to ensure your chosen accents and metal complement the stone across real world conditions, and to confirm the finished piece meets your expectations for both beauty and long term value.
