The narrative of this sapphire continues in the hands of master cutters who read each inclusion and plane the faceting to harmonize light and hue, the pear shape lends an elegant silhouette that draws the eye and flatters settings from a classic solitaire to a delicate drop pendant, every facet has been placed to create scintillation when the gem moves and to preserve the stone integrity for long wear, because of its superb polish and the precision of the mixed brilliant faceting the stone throws balanced flashes of blue and lively white sparkle from every angle, its apparent flawlessness at glance enhances how it sits in a setting, the gentle taper of the pear point adds a directional brilliance that elongates the finger or neck when set, provenance from Ceylon is more than a label, it is a cultural link to a storied mining tradition and a reason this sapphire carries both beauty and history.
