1.37 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Bluish Green Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pair of transparent pear shaped bluish green sapphires presents gently matched weights of 0.69 carats and 0.68 carats respectively, with dimensions of 5.22 x 5.85 x 2.82 mm and 5.22 x 5.68 x 2.85 mm. Both stones are cut in a mixed brilliant faceted style that combines brilliant facet arrangements on the crown and a tailored pavilion to maximize scintillation and return of light, and both exhibit excellent polish for crisp facet junctions and lively surface reflection. The color intensity is described as light, which in the case of these Ceylon sapphires yields a fresh, luminous appearance that reads more airy and sea like than heavily saturated. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, meaning that on normal visual inspection the inclusions are minimal and do not interrupt transparency or brilliance, and the stones have undergone a standard and stable heat treatment to refine color and clarity in a manner that is both common and widely accepted within the trade.

To an educated buyer the clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level conveys that these sapphires are essentially eye clean, with any internal features likely limited to minute crystals or fine silk like needles that sit unobtrusively within the stone. Such inclusions often act to soften and diffuse light in a way that can contribute to a pleasing velvety aspect without compromising overall transparency, particularly when the cutting and polish are executed to a high standard as they are here. The mixed brilliant cut used for these pear shapes enhances fire and scintillation while preserving the inherent color of the sapphire by balancing facet count and proportions. Excellent polish is an important finishing detail that directly affects perceived brightness, and these stones show sharp facet planes and a smooth table which improves both brilliance and perceived size. Heat treatment in sapphires is a stable enhancement that improves color homogeneity and has no adverse effect on durability, making this treatment acceptable to most collectors and designers when it is plainly disclosed.

When considering hue and tone in the context of famous sapphire localities, these Ceylon sapphires display characteristics that are distinctly Sri Lankan in character. The bluish green hue with light tone is typical of many fine Ceylon stones that are prized for their bright, open color and lively transparency, offering a refreshing and versatile palette. By comparison, sapphires from Kashmir are renowned for a deep cornflower blue with a soft velvety tone and a higher degree of saturation, which creates a more intense and sumptuous appearance. Burmese sapphires can show strong blue saturation with warm undertones that read richer and more classical, whereas Madagascan sapphires often exhibit vibrant and highly saturated blues or intense parti colors depending on the deposit, making them bolder in hue. Australian sapphires are frequently darker, tending toward inky blue or greenish blue tones with heavier body color, producing a moodier look. Montana sapphires from the United States more closely approach the teal and bluish green family, but they commonly present a slightly cooler or greener balance and more rustic inclusions, whereas these Ceylon examples maintain a cleaner, more transparent profile and a lighter, more luminous tone.

Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this matched pair represents a refined choice for an elegant set of stud earrings or a sophisticated pendant and earring ensemble, where the pear shape will reflect light dynamically and the light bluish green hue will complement a variety of metal choices from warm yellow gold to crisp platinum. For the educated buyer who values provenance, cut quality, and honest disclosure, the combination of eye level clarity described as very very slightly included, excellent polish, the mixed brilliant faceted cutting style, light color intensity, and the documented heat treatment all contribute to both aesthetic appeal and market acceptability. The Sri Lankan origin lends a recognizable geographic signature that appeals to collectors seeking brightness and clarity rather than deep saturation, and the near perfect matching of weight and dimension makes this pair a practical and attractive option for custom jewelry projects with an emphasis on symmetry and optical performance.
