0.65 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.65 carat pear shape blue sapphire from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, presents a compact yet striking presence with exact dimensions of 6.00 x 3.99 x 3.62 mm. The gem is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a complementary pavilion design to optimize return of light. This geometric faceting strategy enhances both scintillation and depth, producing lively flashes and a steady body color as the stone moves. The intense color intensity is characteristic of high quality Ceylon material, with a vivid blue that leans toward classic cornflower to slightly violet blue under neutral lighting. Clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means inclusions are minimal and do not interrupt transparency or the passage of light through the pavilion. Excellent polish and precise symmetry further contribute to superior light performance, allowing internal reflections to maximize brilliance and minimize light leakage. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement used to intensify color and improve clarity, applied responsibly and disclosed as part of our disclosure standards.

For the educated buyer, this sapphire represents a sensible balance of optical quality, origin, and practical size for fine jewelry. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their lively blue tones and the stone benefits from a mixed brilliant cutting philosophy that prioritizes both face up color and internal light play. The dimensions and pear outline make it exceptionally versatile for bespoke engagement rings, pendant pieces, or delicate halos where the point of the pear can be secured with a guard prong for protection. The combination of intense color, very very slight inclusions at eye level, and excellent polish enhances its long term desirability and resale potential. As gemstone specialists, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide additional information on facet proportions, recommended settings to protect the tip, and photographic documentation to assist in selection. This sapphire embodies the optical advantages of expert cutting and the historical appeal of Sri Lankan origin, making it a judicious choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a transparent, vividly colored, and well finished blue sapphire.
