From the heart of Sri Lanka, a land known for its rich gem-bearing deposits, emerges a sapphire of rare beauty, destined to become a centerpiece for fine jewelry connoisseurs. This particular gemstone, a transparent 0.52 carat oval-shaped blue sapphire, commenced its journey nestled deep within the Ceylon's fertile gem mines. From the outset, this gem demonstrated remarkable potential with its size measuring 5.58 x 3.93 x 2.89 mm, dimensions promising a harmonious balance that would soon be revealed through expert craftsmanship.

The extraction of this sapphire adhered to meticulous techniques passed down through generations, ensuring the integrity and natural beauty of the stone were preserved. Once removed from its earthen haven, it underwent a thorough analysis by skilled gemologists who recognized not only its innate clarity, but also the distinctive intense color intensity that marks it as a specimen of extraordinary quality. Featuring a clarity grade classified as slightly included, this aspect was evaluated at eye level, confirming that the presence of minor inclusions does not detract from its overall allure.

In the skilled hands of our artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company, the sapphire was carefully faceted to enhance its natural brilliance and color. Employing a mixed brilliant cut, the gem was transformed into an object of breathtaking beauty. This cutting style optimally showcases the vibrant blue hues while allowing maximum light to dance within its facets. The human touch in its polish was executed with precision and attention to every detail, resulting in an excellent surface finish that further elevates its splendid aesthetic appeal.
