0.37 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The centerpiece of any fine jewelry suite, this transparent 0.37 carat Asscher octagon shape blue sapphire, offers a magnificent combination of precision craftsmanship and natural beauty. Measuring precisely 3.87 by 3.86 by 2.73 mm, this gem embodies the elegance and sophistication synonymous with expert gem cutting. The Asscher cut, renowned for its step-cut facets and high crown, is meticulously applied to this sapphire to enhance its optical performance and brilliance, making it a standout piece in any collection. Recognized for its ability to capture and reflect light from every angle, the Asscher cut lends a dazzling depth and enhanced clarity to this sapphire, resulting in a gem that truly sparkles with life.

The vividness of this sapphire’s color is another testament to its superior quality. With an intense color grade, the blue of this sapphire is deep, saturated, and vibrant. This jewel represents the optimal hue for blue sapphires, which is enhanced by its origin of Ceylon, an area reputed for producing some of the most celebrated sapphires in the world. The color consistency and tone of this sapphire are characteristics that appeal to those who value gemstones unequaled in their natural splendor. Its clarity grade of very slightly included, assessed at eye level, ensures that this sapphire maintains an almost flawless appearance, allowing only minimal inclusions, which do not mar its overall appearance and luster.

The polished surface of this sapphire is another highlight, receiving an assessment of excellent polish. The gem displays a smooth and lustrous finish free of scratches or other surface abrasions. This high level of polish ensures that each facet, especially under a critical eye, appears pristine, contributing to its overall allure. The polished finish is critical in enhancing the sapphire's light interaction, resulting in maximum brilliance. As light enters and exits the sapphire, its journey creates captivating plays of color and reflection, displaying the skilled artistry imbued by nature and refined by the human hand.

When considering the creation of a custom piece, this stunning sapphire will exude a magnetic allure when paired with complementary gemstones. Yellow sapphires or diamonds would enhance the sapphire's deep blues, offering harmonious contrast and vibrant interplay. Similarly, white diamonds, perhaps round brilliant or baguette cuts, would serve as striking accents to its bold color, highlighting the architecture of the Asscher cut while emphasizing the sapphire's vibrant hue.
