0.57 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.57 carat round blue sapphire presents as a transparent, vividly colored gemstone with precise proportions, measuring 4.86 x 4.83 x 3.22 mm. Cut to a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, the stone combines a faceted crown and a pavilion designed to maximize return of light and internal scintillation, while maintaining a pleasing table and overall balance. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from visual performance under normal viewing conditions. The color is consistently vivid, exhibiting strong saturation and a rich blue tone that remains lively under varying light sources. The polish is excellent, producing clean facet junctions and a mirror like finish that enhances brightness and depth. The sapphire is heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement, and its documented origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing classic, intensely hued blue sapphires.

As an engagement option this sapphire combines aesthetic appeal with practicality, making it well suited for daily wear. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs scale of hardness, providing durable resistance to abrasion and maintaining its polished surface in routine use, while the round mixed brilliant cut offers versatile compatibility with solitaire, halo, and three stone settings. At 0.57 carat and with a diameter just under five millimeters, the gem offers a refined, elegant presence on the finger that balances discreet wearability with notable color impact, and it integrates effectively with both platinum and gold mounting styles.
