1.47 ct Natural Sapphire – Square Cushion Cut | Madagascar

A natural 1.47 carat pinkish-brown sapphire in a square cushion cut, from Madagascar. Pinkish-brown is an unusual hue for sapphire — natural corundum in warm brown tones with a pink component, producing an earthy, sophisticated color that has no equivalent in the conventional sapphire palette. Madagascar produces a range of sapphire colors outside the standard blue-pink-yellow spectrum, and this stone represents that range: a collector color for buyers who want something genuinely different.

Good to Know

A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:

• View it in more than one light. Pinkish-brown tones can shift subtly warmer or cooler depending on the light source, so check the stone in daylight and in warm indoor light before deciding.
• Consider the setting for a square cushion outline. At 6.38 x 6.09 mm, this stone suits both a classic four-prong setting and a modern bezel; confirm your setting accommodates its slightly rectangular face-up shape.
• Confirm origin and treatment disclosure when comparison shopping. Unusual-color sapphires are sometimes sold without clear sourcing information — ask directly for both.
• Weigh the niche nature of this color. Because pinkish-brown is a collector color rather than mainstream demand, availability of a comparable size, cut, and tone combination is limited.
• Ask for a personal video if you would like to see the stone in motion before finalizing the purchase.
