0.65 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a small ocean captured and rendered into a single, breathing jewel, a stone that seems to hold the depth of midnight and the promise of dawn within its facets. This is one beautiful transparent 0.65 carat round shape blue sapphire, a gem that measures 5.53 by 5.49 by 3.06 mm, cut with a mixed brilliant design that teases light into a slow, seductive dance. Its vivid color intensity sings of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where heat and earth conspired to bring forth such a saturated blue. When you hold it under soft light the sapphire responds like a memory, reflecting deep velvety blues at the heart, and brighter cobalt flashes along the edges, as if the sea itself had been polished and set to keep its secrets safe. The proportions are balanced and refined, the round form timeless, and the presence of the stone is both intimate and commanding, the perfect center for a ring that will be treasured for generations.

Look closer and you will see the craftsmanship behind the sparkle, the excellent polish that allows every facet to breathe and converse with light. The mixed brilliant cut blends the scintillating energy of a brilliant pattern with the depth of step pavilion geometry, creating a face up appearance that is lively and full bodied. Clarity wise the stone is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means at ordinary viewing distances tiny inclusions are present but do not interrupt the gem s clarity or the way it glows. These natural markers are like tiny meteor scars on a tiny planet, reminders of the sapphire s journey from deep earth to your hand. The stone is transparent, allowing light to travel through and return to the eye with warmth and intensity, and the meticulous polish gives mirror like surfaces that sharpen flashes and create a halo of color that changes as you move.

Beyond beauty, this sapphire offers real durability for daily wear, a quality essential for an engagement gem meant to accompany a life. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness sapphires score a nine, which places them just below diamond at ten, and well above more common gemstones such as topaz at eight and quartz at seven. This means that a sapphire is highly resistant to scratches and abrasion, able to withstand the gentle knocks and tasks of everyday life far better than softer stones. A nine on the Mohs scale equates to long lasting polish retention, and when combined with the excellent polish and solid cutting proportions of this gem, the result is a jewel that will continue to shine and reflect love through years of wear. For care, simple, gentle handling preserves its brilliance, routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will remove the daily film of oils and dust, and professional inspections ensure settings remain secure so that the sapphire can continue its quiet, enduring glow.
