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

This pair of natural Ceylon sapphires presents a carefully balanced combination of weight, proportion, and color. The stones are 1.09 carats and 1.14 carats respectively, each fashioned in an emerald cut with dimensions of 6.27 x 5.18 x 3.38 millimeters and 6.39 x 5.18 x 3.36 millimeters. Both exhibit vivid blue color intensity and are graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The cut emphasizes clarity and color uniformity, with an excellent polish that yields crisp facet junctions and an even surface finish. These sapphires have undergone standard heat treatment to enhance color stability, and their origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with bright, saturated blues and fine crystal quality.

The selection and cutting process for this matched pair reflects meticulous craftsmanship. Each rough piece was evaluated for inherent color zoning, crystal habit, and inclusion pattern, then oriented to maximize color saturation while maintaining comparable proportions between the two stones. The emerald cut was chosen for its ability to present color in broad, even planes, and the cutters paid particular attention to matching table size, pavilion depth, and facet angles to ensure similar light return and visual weight. Slight differences in carat weight were balanced by careful shaping so that the pair reads uniformly when set, and the consistent girdle dimensions and parallel step facets provide optical symmetry. Final inspection included an eye level clarity assessment and a polish quality check, confirming the absence of polish lines and the presence of sharp facet intersections. The Natural Sapphire Company presents these sapphires as a matched set suitable for refined, symmetric mounting, where their matched color, cut, and finish will maintain a coherent appearance in paired jewelry applications.
