5.24 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 5.24 carat yellowish green sapphire, measuring 10.10 x 9.00 x 5.69 mm and fashioned in an emerald cut, offers a compelling combination of weight, proportions and optical performance. The emerald cut, with its broad stepped facets and large table, emphasizes the stone's intense color intensity and clean transparency, allowing the eye to appreciate the stone's internal character and crisp face-up tone. Clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for a cutter and connoisseur means any inclusions are minimal to the unaided eye and contribute little to the gem's brilliance. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and lively light return that complements the saturated yellowish green hue. This sapphire is heat treated, the industry-standard enhancement used to stabilize and intensify color, and it originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing well-colored, gem-quality sapphires with distinct tones that differ from traditional Asia-Pacific deposits.

For the educated buyer, value derives from the balanced combination of size, color, cut and clarity. At 5.24 carats an intensely colored, transparent sapphire in an emerald cut is both rare and versatile, the step cut reveals the depth of tone while maintaining an elegant architectural profile ideal for bespoke settings. The gem's hardness and toughness, inherent to corundum, make it suitable for daily wear in rings as well as dramatic pendant or cocktail designs, and its unusual yellowish green coloration offers a distinctive alternative to classic blue or pink sapphires. As a gift for someone special this sapphire makes a striking statement, reflecting thoughtful selection, enduring value and personal distinction. Pair it with warm yellow gold to enhance the yellowish green or with platinum for a contemporary contrast.
