0.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped blue sapphire weighs 0.62 carat and measures 5.95 x 4.13 x 3.25 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize face up brilliance while preserving weight, clarity, and proportions. The stone is transparent with a vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish that enhances light return and scintillation. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating the presence of small natural characteristics that do not overly distract from the gem, but that do provide evidence of natural origin and contribute to the stone one of a kind optical personality. The sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that improves color saturation and uniformity, and its provenance is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source historically prized for producing some of the most desirable cornflower to vivid blue sapphires. As corundum, with a Mohs hardness of 9, this sapphire is suitable for daily wear in rings and pendants provided the setting protects the pointed end of the pear shape.

For the educated buyer this stone combines important value drivers, namely a desirable geographic origin, vivid color, and a careful mixed brilliant cut that balances brilliance and weight retention, all documented by The Natural Sapphire Company. Ceylon sapphires have a long heritage, used for royal and religious jewelry across South Asia for centuries, regarded as talismans for wisdom, protection, and clarity of mind, and prized in European collections since the colonial era. Traditional uses inform modern design, where a pear shape can echo classical pendants and coronets, while also serving as a refined center stone in an engagement setting. Because inclusions are slight and the polish is excellent, the stone presents deep color and lively sparkle, attributes that appeal to connoisseurs assessing long term value.
