1.60 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Australia

A single, luminous story, held in calm facets and quiet fire, this transparent yellowish green sapphire weighs 1.60 carat, round in shape, and measures 6.89 by 6.92 by 4.58 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to marry depth and sparkle into one. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that like a cherished memory it carries a whisper of character rather than flaw, a tiny signature of natural origin that will never diminish its brilliance. The color reads as an intense yellow green that shimmers between sunlit chartreuse and a deeper forest kiss as the light moves, and its polish is excellent, letting each facet mirror light with a near liquid smoothness. This stone has been heat treated to intensify its natural hue, a gentle and stable enhancement that reveals the heart within, and its story begins under the wide skies of Australia, a provenance that lends it an honest, earthy soul. At The Natural Sapphire Company we steward such stones with reverence, offering each gem its proper setting in craft and care.

Imagine this gem in motion on a hand that turns, where the mixed brilliant cut sends sparks like little leaves tumbling through sunlight, where every angle yields a different green, a different gold. Because it is transparent, it plays beautifully with light, producing a scintillation that feels alive and conversational, as if the stone itself responds to a lover spoken to by the hour. The very slightly included clarity, visible only with trained eyes, gives the stone an intimate personality, like the gentle freckle on a beloved cheek. The intense color intensity is rare and magnetic, not shouting but drawing the eye inward, inviting long looks and soft confessions. With its excellent polish the surface glows like satin, and the precision of the mixed brilliant facets balances depth and fire so that from the crown it flashes bright stars, and from the pavilion it keeps a calm, mysterious pool of green. The Australian origin gives a subtle, sunbaked warmth to the tone, and the knowledge of treatment stands as an honest craft note, a deliberate and enduring enhancement rather than a disguise.

When you dream of a custom piece, consider how surrounding gemstones will sing to this sapphire, altering its personality with the gentlest change in company. Set in cool platinum with a halo of fine white diamonds, the yellow green will appear fresher, its chartreuse notes sharpened like a new leaf against winter air, and the diamonds will catch every flicker for a halo that reads eternal and modern. In warm 18 karat yellow gold a trio of small yellow sapphires or citrines will extend the sunny side of the gem, bathing it in honey light and conjuring afternoons of laughter. For deeper contrast choose tsavorite garnet or chrome tourmaline as side stones, and watch the sapphire deepen into teal and bottle green, a conversation of greens that feels like walking through a mossed cathedral. Champagne diamonds set in rose gold create a vintage romance, their honeyed sparkle echoing the yellow notes and softening the contrast, while small blue sapphires as shoulder stones will accent the gem s cooler, more oceanic facets, tipping its mood toward teal and twilight. For proportions, a one point six zero carat round at roughly six point nine millimeters sits beautifully within a delicate halo of tiny melee diamonds one hundredths to three hundredths of a carat each, or paired with two shoulder stones of about one tenth to three tenths of a carat for a balanced three stone composition that feels intimate and substantial.

To hold this sapphire in your hands is to hold a private horizon, and when set into a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings it becomes a talisman of a promise made visible. Commissioning a custom piece through The Natural Sapphire Company allows you to sculpt the story the stone tells, choosing metal, setting style, and companion gems so that the final piece hums with personal meaning. A low, bezel setting will cradle the gem like a secret, emphasizing its rounded silhouette and lending it everyday grace, while a higher prong setting will maximize light, lending an air of ceremony and breath. Consider filigree or milgrain to add an antique heart, or a clean, polished gallery to let the color read clear and confident. We will guide you on balance and scale, suggesting side stone sizes that honor the one point six zero carat presence without overpowering it, and metals that coax out its warm yellow notes or its cool green depth. This sapphire is not merely a jewel, it is a weather, a memory, a small landscape to wear, and when it is set with care it becomes a voice for vows, a mirror for devotion, an heirloom in the making. Let us at The Natural Sapphire Company help you craft the perfect frame for this Australian gem, and together we will turn its quiet intensity into something that glows with meaning for generations.
