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

Imagine holding a perfect whisper of the ocean in the palm of your hand, a twin pair that speaks of timeless promises and quiet joy. These two round blue sapphires weigh 0.78 carats and 0.85 carats. Their dimensions measure 5.77 x 5.76 x 2.78 mm and 5.86 x 5.88 x 2.99 mm. Both are cut in a mixed brilliant style, with an excellent polish that lets deep midnight blue flashes come alive under any light. The clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which lends character and natural authenticity while remaining visually clean. The color intensity is dark, and the stones have been heat treated to enhance their stability and tone. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, these sapphires carry the island legacy of master lapidaries and centuries of gem lore. As a salesperson at The Natural Sapphire Company I can tell you that this pair is more than the sum of its measurements, it is an invitation to create a lasting memory.

Pairing two sapphires is an act of precision and patience, and these gems illustrate why that attention to detail matters so much. A small difference in weight and millimeters can shift the balance of a matched pair, so matching the visual weight requires matching more than size. We examined hue, tone, and saturation to ensure both stones present the same deep blue narrative to the eye. The mixed brilliant cut demanded exacting alignment of crown and pavilion facets so that light returns uniformly across both gems. We evaluated pavilion depth and crown height, girdle symmetry, facet polish, and the distribution of the very slight inclusions so the duo would behave as one piece when set. Heat treatment was confirmed to be uniform, ensuring stability and consistency of color over time. These technical measures are what make a matched pair feel effortless on the finger or ear, and what allow you to give a gift that reads as intentional and impeccable.

When you imagine these sapphires set into a piece of jewelry the technical pairing becomes artistic expression. A skilled jeweler will select a setting that complements the slight variance in size while emphasizing the shared personality of the stones. For example a four prong stud setting with precisely angled prongs will cradle each gem so they sit at the same visual plane, creating unity on the ear. In a ring design an offset halo or a custom bezel can harmonize the weights so both stones reflect light in sympathy. The deep dark blue of these Ceylon sapphires is the kind of color that becomes part of daily ritual, the kind of blue that looks like a secret held between two people. Choosing this pair is choosing a conversation starter at every gathering, a symbol for anniversaries and milestones, and a small work of art calibrated for balance and beauty.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we care about the stories gemstones tell as much as we care about their technical merit. I invite you to envision gifting this pair as a measured statement of devotion, a joy that will be worn and remembered. If you want assistance imagining a custom setting that brings out the best in these sapphires I will walk you through options to preserve their proportions, protect their polish, and enhance their shared depth of color. These sapphires are ready to become an heirloom, and from the careful matching of their cuts to the attentive selection of a setting, every step we take is about honoring the moment you create with them.
