0.67 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries sapphires have been held as emblems of wisdom, protection, and enduring beauty, stones that link the wearer to ancient kings and to the maritime traders who carried Ceylon sapphires across the globe. This round, mixed brilliant cut sapphire evokes that same timeless lineage, a compact jewel with the poise of a classic gem and the intensity of a long held tradition. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone as part of a living heritage, a hand selected example of the best of Sri Lankan mining and cutting practices. The language of sapphires is one of deep blue, of calm and constancy, and of heirloom quality that is passed from one generation to the next, a story that begins in the earth and continues in distinguished settings worn through a lifetime.

Measured at 0.67 carat, this sapphire occupies a special place in the balance between rarity and wearable presence, a weight that enhances value while preserving elegance. The dimensions of the gem are 5.22 by 5.12 by 3.26 millimeters, and these proportions produce a face up presence that is both immediately noticeable and perfectly suited for intimate, personal jewelry. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a clarity that allows the vivid color intensity to shine without obvious interruptions. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies fire and scintillation, while the excellent polish gives each facet a mirror like finish that reflects light with lively sparkle. This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and enriches color, a disclosure that we provide with complete transparency because provenance and treatment are integral to value.

Weight in carats is the most tangible measure of a sapphire’s rarity, and at 0.67 carat this gem is a beautiful study in proportional value. As carat weight increases the availability of top quality material falls sharply, and even small increments in weight can represent meaningful increases in rarity and worth. In this instance the 0.67 carat weight signifies a stone that will command attention, while remaining versatile enough to be set as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, as a refined pendant, or as a finely crafted accent in a bespoke creation. The vivid Ceylon hue present in this stone is prized by connoisseurs, and combined with the very slightly included clarity and excellent polish it produces a balance that is both important to collectors and deeply desirable for everyday wear. The mixed brilliant cut, chosen to marry table brilliance with pavilion depth, ensures that the weight is used to maximum optical effect, yielding substantial brilliance relative to its carat weight, a testimony to expert cutting.
