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

This matched pair of blue sapphires presents a refined combination of size, color, and finish that suits a wide range of jewelry applications. Individually these transparent sapphires weigh 0.64 carats and 0.66 carats, offering balanced visual parity for paired settings. Both stones are round in shape and display an intense blue hue that remains consistent between the two, supporting their use as matched accents or as primary stones in compact, elegant designs. The provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes to their characteristic saturation and tone, and the overall eye appeal is enhanced by an excellent polish that maximizes light return and surface clarity.

The cut and proportions have been executed to support sparkle and stability in mounting. Each gem is cut to a mixed brilliant style, combining faceting that emphasizes both crown brilliance and pavilion depth. The measured dimensions are 4.97 by 4.96 by 3.30 millimeters for the 0.64 carat stone, and 4.99 by 4.97 by 3.23 millimeters for the 0.66 carat stone, dimensions that translate to comfortable settings in stud earrings, small solitaires, paired clusters, and refined three stone designs. At eye level both sapphires are graded as eye clean, indicating minimal to no inclusions visible without magnification, and the excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and strong reflective performance in both natural and artificial lighting.

Color attributes are a prominent feature of these sapphires, with an intense color intensity that conveys depth without entering overly dark territory. The hue displays the classic blue associated with Ceylon material, showing lively medium to medium deep tones that balance saturation and brightness. These optical properties make the pair versatile in metal choices, pairing well with yellow gold for a warm contrast, with white gold or platinum for a cooler, contemporary aesthetic, and with rose gold for a nuanced, softer contrast. The consistent color and matched weight facilitate symmetry in designs where evenness is important, such as traditional stud earring pairs or matched side stones flanking a center gem.

Regarding treatment and durability, these sapphires have been heat treated, a commonly accepted enhancement that improves color and clarity stability while leaving the gem structure intact. Heat treatment is standard practice for many natural sapphires and when correctly disclosed it allows designers and jewelers to plan settings and care with confidence. Sapphire is a hard gemstone, second only to diamond on the Mohs scale, and these stones are well suited to everyday wear when properly set and cared for. Recommended handling includes routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoidance of harsh chemicals, and periodic inspection of settings to maintain security and alignment.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this pair as an adaptable option for designers and clients seeking quality matched sapphires with natural origin, measured proportions, and reliable finishing. Their size and matched appearance make them appropriate for classic stud earrings, minimally scaled solitaires, accent stones in rings or pendants, paired halo designs, and bespoke pieces that require a harmonious match. The combination of intense color, eye clean clarity, precise dimensions, and excellent polish offers functional flexibility without compromising on visual impact. For those specifying gemstones for a particular design, these sapphires provide a predictable and attractive component that integrates easily with a variety of metal types and mounting styles, supporting both contemporary and traditional jewelry creations.
