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

When a gemstone is this rare, ownership becomes a statement of refined taste and quiet distinction, an invitation to join an exclusive circle of collectors who recognize true beauty. These two Ceylon sapphires are offered as a matched pair, each weighing 0.49 carats, and they arrive to you as a carefully curated duet from Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for sapphires of exceptional personality. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present them not as mass produced inventory, but as a limited opportunity to claim a piece that will be cherished for generations. The combination of provenance, exacting cut, and the deliberate selection of two gems that mirror one another elevates this offering into the realm of bespoke treasures, a choice for those who desire something both intimate and uncommon.

From a technical lens these sapphires are round shape blue sapphires, cut to mixed brilliant proportions, and finished with an excellent polish that enhances their sparkle. Each stone measures precisely, one at 4.85 x 4.85 x 2.73 mm and the other at 4.82 x 4.81 x 2.74 mm, dimensions that demonstrate careful cutting to preserve weight while achieving optical harmony. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stones read clean to the viewer while retaining natural character under magnification. The color presents with a medium intense color intensity, a balanced blue that is vivid enough to be commanding without appearing over saturated, and the enhancement is heat treated, a customary and stable practice that optimizes color while preserving integrity. These combined attributes make each gem a dependable and luminous choice for fine settings.

What makes this pair truly exceptional is the way they complement each other in both size and hue, an alignment that is rare in natural stones. The near identical weights and dimensions create a sense of symmetry that resonates when mounted as earrings, cufflinks, or as the exact twin accents in a custom design. The very small differences in millimeter measurements allow light to dance slightly differently across each crown, giving a living quality to the pair, while the consistent medium intense blue ties them together visually so that they behave as a single artistic statement. The mixed brilliant cut contributes to this harmony, scattering light with scintillating flashes from the pavilion and a lively top surface, which in turn makes the paired sapphires appear as though they were cut from the same moment under the same hand. When set, they offer both balance and personality, the kind of pairing that whispers elegance rather than shouting it.

Owning this matched pair through The Natural Sapphire Company is an invitation to bespoke possibilities, from classic four prong settings to custom halo or bezel designs that protect and showcase their refined proportions. Because these sapphires are small enough to be versatile and substantial enough to be noticed, they lend themselves to intimate pieces that speak to personal narrative, heirloom quality work that will mark important moments. Availability of such closely matched Ceylon sapphires is limited, and we curate only those pairs that meet our exacting standards, which means that choosing this set places you among a select few.
