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

A pair of exquisite Ceylon sapphires, weighing 1.11 carats and 0.97 carats respectively, these round shape blue sapphires measure 6.15 x 6.10 x 4.05 millimeters and 6.03 x 5.99 x 3.75 millimeters. Each stone is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that maximizes scintillation and light return, and they present a clarity graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Their vivid color intensity is complemented by an excellent polish, and they have been thoughtfully enhanced through heat treatment to reveal their truest, most lively blue. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, these sapphires carry the storied elegance and maritime hue that collectors and connoisseurs covet. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company this pair is a study in refined restraint, a luminous testament to discerning taste, and an object of desire that announces accomplishment without ostentation.

In comparison to other sapphires and comparable gemstones the optical personality of these Ceylon stones is distinct, they favor vibrant, lively brilliance over the deeper, velvety saturation associated with Kashmir material, and they often sparkle with a more vivacious, light filled presence than some Burmese examples which are prized for their intense royal blue. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies white light return and scintillation in a manner more akin to faceted diamonds, while retaining the deep, saturated hue that defines fine corundum. Against tanzanite and alexandrite these sapphires project steadier, more resolute reflections, tanzanite being prone to pleochroism and alexandrite to dramatic color change which can mellow scintillation. Compared with spinel the sapphire displays a slightly different luster due to its higher refractive index, offering a more complex play between windowed deep color and surface flash. The very very slightly included clarity and excellent polish permit an unimpeded dance of light across each facet, ensuring that the gaze is rewarded with steady brilliance and lively flashes. Owning this pair from The Natural Sapphire Company is an affirmation of cultivated taste, a private triumph that sits perfectly between heritage and contemporary elegance.
