Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.46 carat olive green sapphire in a cushion cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), completely unheated. Olive green is the warmer, more golden end of the green sapphire spectrum — a hue that reads with yellow-green undertones rather than the cool mint of lighter greens. In a cushion cut, the rounded corners trap light and deepen the olive saturation, producing the characteristic warm glow that makes this color popular for vintage-inspired settings and yellow gold work.
Why Choose this 1.46 ct Unheated Olive Green Sapphire?
Olive green sapphire is less commercially common than blue or pink, which is exactly what makes it appealing for buyers who want a distinctive stone rather than the conventional choice. Ceylon origin adds the premium of documented provenance in a color that rarely carries formal lab reports. At 1.46 carats unheated, the size-treatment combination is stronger than most olive greens available in the sub-1-carat commercial range.
