Color: The Soul of the Gemstone
“These gems have light in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of.”- George Elliot
Color is one of the most critical factors that influence the value of a yellow sapphire. A Madagascar sapphire boasts in shades ranging from lemon yellow to bright and shining golden yellow. A deep golden yellow sapphire is more valuable than one with the presence of orange or brown hues.
Clarity: A Window to Perfection
Not only bright yellow hues, Madagascar sapphires are famous for their exceptional clarity too. Clarity of a sapphire can be assessed by the presence or absence of inclusions. A gemstone with minimal to no inclusions and flaws visible to the naked eye are better than the one with blemishes.

The cut of sapphire gemstones significantly impacts its overall beauty and value. A well-cut Madagascar sapphire will reflect optimal brilliance. But, achieving a smooth finish requires an art of brilliance. It’s a highly skilled craft performed by a gem cutter. The motive is to preserve maximum carat weight while achieving the best light performance of the gemstone.
