A natural 1.73 carat white sapphire in a radiant cut, colorless and untreated. White sapphire is natural corundum that formed without the trace elements that produce color — the same mineral species as blue, yellow, or pink sapphire but entirely without chromophores. The radiant cut at 1.73 carats produces a stone with strong face-up presence and a modern rectangular silhouette — a format that delivers both architectural clarity and brilliant light return in colorless material.
"Untreated colorless sapphire above 1.5 carats is genuinely scarce — most white sapphire on the market has been heat treated to remove residual color, so a natural, untreated 1.73 ct stone with eye-clean clarity is not something you'll find in every parcel."
Good to Know
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:
View it under bright, direct light. Radiant cuts perform best under strong lighting, so assess brilliance in conditions similar to where you'll wear it.
Consider the setting for an elongated silhouette. At 8.42 x 5.27 mm, this radiant suits an east-west or classic four-prong solitaire setting; confirm your setting accommodates the rectangular outline.
Confirm treatment status directly when comparison shopping. Untreated stones are the minority of white sapphire on the market, and the term "natural" alone does not guarantee untreated — ask for documentation.
Weigh availability at this size and treatment status. Untreated colorless sapphire at this size and clarity is a narrower slice of the market than heat-treated white sapphire, which affects both price and availability, as described above.
Ask for a personal video if you would like to see the stone in motion before finalizing the purchase.
