1.57 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

One beautiful, transparent, 1.57 carat, pear shape, yellowish green sapphire awaits, measuring 7.64 x 6.23 x 4.60 mm, and this combination of weight and dimensions makes it an exceptional candidate for custom jewelry. The mixed brilliant cut offers a balance between scintillation and depth of color, and with an excellent polish the facets interact with light cleanly to produce lively return and sparkle. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents to the naked eye as a clean and attractive gem while retaining the natural characteristics that confirm its authenticity. The color is intense, and because this sapphire is untreated it demonstrates the pure tonal quality and saturation that educated buyers seek. The origin of this sapphire is Madagascar, and its provenance contributes to its narrative and desirability, particularly for collectors and clients who value traceable, responsibly sourced gemstones. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize both the gem quality and the story behind the stone when advising clients on custom pieces.

From a gemological perspective, the combination of a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish enhances both brilliance and color delivery. Mixed brilliant cuts use facets arranged to maximize face up brightness while preserving color depth, a feature that is particularly important for yellowish green sapphires where the interplay of yellow and green components can be nuanced. The excellent polish ensures facet junctions are sharp and reflective, reducing light leakage and improving the perceived transparency. With a clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level, any internal features are minor and do not interfere with light performance. For buyers who favor untreated sapphires, the absence of enhancement is a significant value indicator, because untreated stones show their natural color spectrum and structure. Madagascar has become renowned for producing sapphires with lively, earthy hues, and this gem exemplifies those regional characteristics while offering the technical attributes that make it suitable for precision set work.

The pear shape and the specific dimensions of 7.64 x 6.23 x 4.60 mm make this sapphire a particularly versatile choice for custom settings. Pear shape gems create elegant lines when set as a solitaire center, and they also adapt beautifully to halo designs, three stone layouts, and drop style pendants. At 1.57 carats the stone provides a noticeable presence without dominating a design, allowing complementary side stones and metal work to contribute to a balanced overall composition. The length to width ratio implied by the measurements gives the pear shape a pleasing silhouette that flatters the finger when set vertically, and it also permits creative orientations for those seeking unconventional designs. For durability and secure mounting, recommendations include a protective V prong at the tip and well spaced prongs around the rounded end, or a partial bezel to safeguard the vulnerable point while still showcasing the brilliant cut pavilion. These practical considerations combine with the stone s natural attributes to make it an ideal choice for bespoke engagement rings, heirloom pendants, and elegant statement earrings.

Clients who appreciate informed purchasing will recognize the importance of combining measurable gemological attributes with aesthetic and design potential. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this 1.57 carat, pear shape, yellowish green sapphire as an untreated, intensely colored, and well cut example that balances beauty, rarity, and practicality for custom jewelry. When planning a bespoke piece, consider the way the mixed brilliant cut will interact with surrounding accents, the way the very slightly included clarity will contribute to a natural appearance without compromising brilliance, and the way the Madagascar origin enhances provenance. Because the gem is unenhanced, its color will age and respond to different lighting conditions with authentic depth, and skilled bench work will capitalize on this behavior to create a piece that remains visually dynamic over time. If you would like advice on specific settings, metal choices, or complementary side stones to maximize the appeal of this pear shape sapphire, we at The Natural Sapphire Company are ready to assist with tailored recommendations and CAD assisted design previews to ensure the finished jewelry highlights the gem s best qualities.
