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

This pair of round blue sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka exemplifies careful selection and lapidary precision, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stones weigh 0.83 carats and 0.89 carats respectively, and measure 5.43 x 5.49 x 3.59 mm and 5.51 x 5.47 x 3.91 mm. Both are cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining step and brilliant faceting to balance depth and surface sparkle. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, allowing clean, transparent presentation under ordinary inspection. Color registers as intense, with deep, saturated blue tones that remain lively under varied lighting, and each stone has been given an excellent polish to maximize light return. The sapphires have been heat treated, a standard enhancement that improves color and clarity, and this treatment is fully disclosed. The exacting dimensional match within a few hundredths of a millimeter and the small weight difference reflect deliberate pairing, providing visual harmony for matched settings such as stud earrings, paired ring stones, or mirrored design elements.

The craftsmanship behind matching these sapphires is evident in the way facet geometry, depth, and polish were coordinated to produce consistent face up color and complementary light performance. Cutters selected material with compatible tone and saturation, then refined pavilion depths and crown angles to maintain balance between brightness and color saturation. Attention to proportions and polish creates symmetry that makes the pair read as a harmonious set when placed side by side. For practical use, the stones sit well in bezel or prong settings where their degree of transparency and durable nature can be appreciated, and their combined qualities support everyday wear. Documentation of weight, measurements, cut style, clarity grade, polish, treatment, and origin accompanies the pair, reflecting The Natural Sapphire Company approach to clarity and provenance in gemstone presentation.
