0.61 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hold this little sky in your hand and feel the hush that falls over the room, the kind of silence that only beauty can inspire. This exquisite transparent blue sapphire weighs 0.61 carat, and its pear shape is a timeless expression of grace and devotion. The stone measures 6.11 x 4.12 x 3.13 mm, a size that offers quiet presence and sparkling personality, and it has been masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and scintillation. The color reads as medium intense blue, a hue that is both vivid and wearable, and the clarity grade is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a gentle fingerprint of nature that proves authenticity. The polish is excellent, so light glides over the facets and returns to the eye as a steady, deep blue glow. This gem has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that brings forward its inner radiance. When you hold it under light you will notice how every facet whispers with life, a refined gem that offers both charm and character.

There is a long and tender history woven into sapphires, a history that this Ceylon sapphire continues to carry. For centuries, sapphires from Sri Lanka were favored by royalty and priests, used as talismans for protection, as symbols of wisdom, and as blessings for lovers about to begin their life together. In ancient hands a sapphire was set to guard the wearer from envy and harm, and in bridal traditions this same blue was chosen to promise fidelity and steadfast love. The island of Ceylon has a reputation for producing sapphires that are luminous and pure, stones that have passed through the hands of artisans who knew how to honor the material with careful cutting and polishing. When you choose this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing a thread in that long chain of human stories, a gem that has been part of ceremonies and keepsakes, a stone that can become the object that marks a turning point in someone life.

Imagine this pear shaped sapphire set above a slender band of warm yellow gold, or cradled in cool platinum as a pendant that catches the light against the collarbone. Its 0.61 carat weight makes it versatile, suitable as a refined engagement center for someone seeking something unique, or as an intimate heirloom piece that will travel from generation to generation. The mixed brilliant cut adds depth and sparkle, making the gem read larger than its carat weight at a glance, while the excellent polish gives it a luxurious finish that will stand up to daily admiration. The very very slight inclusions are a quiet signature of nature, and the heat treatment applied is a conventional practice aimed at enhancing color stability and clarity, a practice that has been used by gem cutters for generations. Paired with small accent diamonds the sapphire will sing, and set alone on a simple solitaire the stone will speak with singular clarity about the wearer taste and the sentiment behind the gift.
