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

This pair of oval blue sapphires presents precise, measurable attributes that reflect deliberate cutting decisions and high quality material. The stones weigh 1.84 carats and 1.71 carats, with dimensions 8.23 x 6.16 x 4.27 mm and 8.26 x 6.23 x 3.77 mm respectively, and exhibit classic oval proportions that read slightly larger face up than their weights alone would suggest. Each gem is executed in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a faceted brilliant crown with a stepped pavilion to balance table brilliance and internal color transmission, the facet arrangement enhancing scintillation while preserving a stable medium color intensity. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, indicating minute inclusions that do not hinder transparency or light performance, and the excellent polish delivers crisp facet junctions and controlled light return. No enhancement has been applied, and the origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing sapphires with a cool, cornflower leaning blue, making these stones particularly desirable for connoisseurs seeking natural character without treatment.

These two sapphires were selected and matched as a pair from a single parcel sourced in Sri Lanka, the matching process beginning at the mine where rough crystals with analogous color and crystalline habit were set aside. During cutting, small variations in depth were compensated by adjusting pavilion facet geometry and table diameter, yielding a harmonious face up color and matched visual weight, a level of coordination that requires both geological familiarity and exacting lapidary skill. The Natural Sapphire Company curated this pairing to retain as much rough weight as feasible while optimizing optical performance, a deliberate choice that preserves natural rarity and produces a matched pair suitable for elegant earrings or complementary gemstone settings. The combination of unheated origin, mixed brilliant faceting, VVS clarity at eye level, and exacting polish results in a unique matched set that will perform consistently in a designer mounting, and which carries the provenance and craftsmanship standards associated with The Natural Sapphire Company.
