0.46 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a pool of twilight captured and set to gleam, a round blue sapphire that seems to hold a secret horizon within its heart. This exquisite 0.46 carat gem, measured at 4.93 x 4.87 x 2.68 mm, is cut in a mixed brilliant style that breathes both fire and depth, each facet a small star that answers to light. The color is intense, a saturated Ceylon blue that sings with the old sea and the old sky, and the polish is excellent, lending every turn of the gem a soft, luminous voice. Clarity is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a gentle signature of natural formation that marks the stone as authentic and alive. This sapphire is heat treated to enhance its shade and clarity, a historic and accepted practice that reveals the gem at its most honest and beautiful. From the mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka this stone carries the warm whisper of an island known for producing sapphires of legendary hue, and The Natural Sapphire Company presents it with the care and knowledge of generations devoted to fine gems.

In royal seals and devotional rings Ceylon sapphires were worn for protection and truth, believed to steady the hand and calm the heart, and today they are chosen to mark commitments, to celebrate anniversaries, and to gather memories like light. Place this 0.46 carat round gem into a setting and you will be placing more than a jewel, you will be placing a small piece of history, a heritage of craftsmanship and reverence. Let The Natural Sapphire Company guide you in choosing the setting that will allow this intense blue to speak most clearly, whether as the solitary center of an engagement ring or as the thoughtful accent to a custom design.
