{"product_id":"1-18-ct-green-sapphire-emerald-cut-unheated-gia","title":"1.18 ct Natural Unheated Bluish Green Sapphire – Emerald Cut | GIA Certified | East Africa","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stunning 1.18 carat Emerald Cut Bluish Green Sapphire sourced from East Africa. This unheated stone showcases a natural bluish-green hue and clarity that discerning collectors seek. The emerald cut is a step cut, so it trades the scintillation of a brilliant for depth of colour and an open, honest view into the stone. Ideal for bespoke fine jewelry commissions or as a centerpiece for engagement rings and statement pieces. It is accompanied by GIA Sapphire Origin Report #2245017787, which records no indications of heating and gives the geographic origin as East Africa. GIA presents geographic origin as an expert opinion formed from observation and analytical data rather than an absolute finding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 28px 0; background-color: #f9f5fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px; color: #4a235a;\"\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-gcc\/pages\/ahmed-shareek-about-the-owner\" style=\"color: #4a235a; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAhmed Shareek\u003c\/a\u003e's Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\"An emerald cut hides nothing — the open table means you are looking straight into the stone, so it only works on clean material.
