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

This pair of transparent, pear shaped blue sapphires presents a precise combination of size, cut, and clarity that suits a range of fine jewelry applications. The stones weigh 0.84 carats and 0.79 carats respectively, with dimensions of 7.01 x 5.01 x 3.13 millimeters and 6.96 x 4.92 x 3.11 millimeters. Both stones are fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, a faceting style that combines a brilliant pavilion with a modified step or mixed crown to optimize light return while preserving the pear outline. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor internal characteristics visible under careful observation, and the polish is excellent, ensuring smooth facet junctions and clean surface reflections. The sapphires are heat treated, a common and stable enhancement used to intensify color and improve clarity, and their documented origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with lively, saturated blue tones.

The defining attribute of these sapphires is their intense color intensity coupled with transparent material, a combination that yields vivid, saturated blue that reads strongly against a variety of mounting choices. Because the stones are well matched in tone and saturation, they will read as a coordinated pair when set side by side or as balanced partners in asymmetrical designs. The mixed brilliant faceting promotes scintillation from the crown and deep color play through the pavilion, so movement and changes in lighting produce lively flashes of deep blue and lighter blue highlights. The pear shape concentrates color toward the broad end while allowing a tapered profile that draws the eye, making the gems particularly effective for directional settings such as drop earrings and pendants, where the pointed end emphasizes elongation, or for accent stones flanking a central gem, where the curved outline offers graceful transitions.

In practical design terms, these sapphires will stand out in any jewelry setting because their color and cut work together to maximize perceived size and visual impact, even at modest carat weights. A prong setting will permit the greatest amount of light to interact with the mixed brilliant faceting, enhancing sparkle and allowing the intense blue to be viewed from multiple angles. A bezel setting will provide a modern, secure frame that can slightly mute surface reflections but will emphasize the stone silhouette and protect the pointed end of the pear shape. Halo settings with carefully calibrated accent stones can increase apparent size and add contrast, particularly when paired with warm or neutral metal tones. For color contrast, yellow gold will enrich the stones warm undertones, while white metals will emphasize coolness and clarity. Given the excellent polish and the very slightly included clarity grade, these sapphires will perform well in both solitaire and multi stone configurations, maintaining color saturation under normal viewing conditions while offering reliable durability for daily wear.

As documented by The Natural Sapphire Company these sapphires combine measured proportions, matched color intensity, and a stabilized enhancement, attributes that facilitate confident design decisions whether the intent is a refined pair of earrings, a complementary pendant, or balanced accent stones in a custom ring. The consistency in dimensions and cut profile supports tight settings with minimal repositioning, and the transparent material coupled with mixed brilliant faceting ensures that the color remains the principal visual element. For professionals specifying gemstones, and for discerning customers seeking a vibrant yet classic blue, this pair offers both aesthetic presence and practical versatility, qualities that make their vivid color stand out in any jewelry setting.
