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

This matched pair from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a technical exemplar of pear shaped blue sapphires, weighing 1.72 carats and 1.46 carats, with dimensions 9.23 x 6.35 x 4.17 mm and 9.13 x 6.42 x 3.74 mm respectively. Both stones are fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a faceted pavilion geometry with a brilliant crown to maximize return of light while preserving a deep, even face up color. The cutters have balanced crown angles and pavilion depths to harmonize the apparent tone and brilliance between stones, compensating for the slight variation in depth percentage so that both display consistent flash and scintillation. The clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates inclusions are minimal and generally not visible to the naked eye, which preserves transparency and allows the mixed brilliant faceting to perform without interruption. Polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and uninterrupted light paths, which enhances both contrast and lively brillance.

Color is the primary reason these two sapphires constitute a superior match. Both exhibit vivid color intensity in the classic Ceylon blue spectrum, with saturation and tone closely aligned to produce a uniform face up appearance when set side by side. The origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka is reflected in the combination of clarity and lively blue that shows strong color saturation without excessive darkness, allowing each facet to transmit and reflect the rich hue evenly. Heat treatment has been applied, stabilizing and intensifying the blue while leaving the natural crystalline structure intact. Optical performance is further strengthened by close dimensional proportionality, with length to width ratios that yield congruent pear silhouettes, and with precise symmetry that ensures parallel pavilion angles and matching table sizes. The result is two sapphires that match in hue, saturation, and light performance, making them ideal for paired settings where uniformity is critical. For buyers who evaluate faceting style, color grading, and craftsmanship techniques, this pair demonstrates meticulous cutting decisions, consistent clarity at the eye level, and vivid Ceylon color, all of which underscore their superiority as a matched set.
