Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.81 carat mint green sapphire in an emerald cut, from Madagascar, completely unheated. The emerald cut is an unusual choice for green sapphire — step facets create a hall-of-mirrors depth effect rather than the sparkle of brilliant cuts, emphasizing the stone's clarity and the purity of its mint-green color. Madagascar produces a distinctive range of green sapphire, often with higher clarity than equivalent Sri Lankan material and a cooler, brighter green than Australian stones.
Why Choose this 1.81 ct Unheated Mint Green Sapphire?
Mint green sapphire — the lighter, cooler end of the green sapphire spectrum — reads with a freshness that differs significantly from olive or deep forest green. The emerald cut on this stone emphasizes that quality: step facets draw the eye into the stone's interior rather than bouncing light off the surface, and in a clean mint-green like this, the result is a stone with a quiet, architectural elegance. At 1.81 carats unheated, the size-treatment combination is stronger than typical for this color.
