Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.24 carat green sapphire in an oval cut, completely unheated. Green sapphire is natural corundum colored by iron — the same mineral as blue, yellow, and pink sapphire, but shifted by iron's specific absorption into the green range. At 1.24 carats unheated, this sits in the range where green sapphires are used as engagement ring center stones and pendants, and the oval cut's broad face-up surface makes the green color visible and clear at wearing distance.
Why Choose this 1.24 ct Unheated Oval Green Sapphire?
Green sapphire at 1.24 carats unheated offers the emerald color family with the durability of Mohs 9 corundum — no oil treatment, no fracture filling, no special care protocols. The oval shape maximizes face-up green across the stone, and the unheated status preserves the natural color that heat treatment might otherwise modify or suppress.
