0.73 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Blue Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the weathered riverbeds and ancient alluvial terraces of Ceylon, these two blue sapphires began their long conversation with light, formed over millennia beneath crystal clear skies and warm, shifting earth, carried by monsoon waters and discovered by hands that know the land. Each rough crystal was chosen for its transparency and depth of hue, then entrusted to a cutter who listened to the stone and revealed its best expression, the emerald cut, a shape that emphasizes clarity and architectural grace. The pair are closely matched, weighing 0.36 carats and 0.37 carats, and measuring 5.41 x 2.64 x 2.09 mm and 5.09 x 2.64 x 2.17 mm, with a clarity described as very slightly included at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. A careful heat treatment was applied to enhance the stones natural blue, a traditional and widely accepted practice in the trade that refines the color while preserving the gem s inherent character. The story of each facet speaks of Ceylon s gem cutting heritage, where generations have balanced respect for the rough with the precision to coax forth brilliance, a heritage we honor at every step in the selection process.

For a custom pair of earrings, these emerald cut sapphires are a perfect beginning, their elongated rectangles offering a timeless silhouette that translates gracefully into studs, delicate dangles, or a modern bezel set design that keeps the focus on color and clarity. The paired weights and dimensions make them especially suited to earrings intended as a matched pair, giving a sense of symmetry and movement when set to catch the light at different angles. Because the stones are transparent with an intense blue and an excellent polish, they will exhibit lively flashes and a calm, deep center that feels both elegant and personal, ideal for a piece that is worn close to the face. Imagine these sapphires mounted in warm gold to enhance their warmth, or in cool platinum for a crisp, contemporary look, each option telling a slightly different chapter of the gem s journey. When you choose this pair through The Natural Sapphire Company you are not only commissioning a custom creation, you are continuing a lineage that began in Ceylon s earth and culminates in a wearable heirloom, crafted to be cherished for generations.
