0.68 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The 0.68 carat oval-shaped blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a marvel of gemstone craftsmanship, distinguished not only by its captivating appearance but also by its storied origin and meticulous cutting techniques. This sapphire's brilliance is achieved through a mixed brilliant cut, which enhances its natural radiance and sets it apart from more common gemstones. Whereas other gems might rely solely on their size to catch the eye, this particular sapphire captivates through its superior faceting style and luminous quality, providing a clear case for its standout characteristics.

The dimensions of 6.32 x 4.65 x 2.82 mm allow for a balanced proportion that maximizes light reflection, giving it an appearance of greater depth and allure. This facet structure, combined with a medium light color intensity, offers a subtlety in hue that is not overbearing but rather elegant and understated. Unlike sapphires with darker tones that can at times dull their reflective properties, the color intensity of this stone beautifully balances vibrancy with sophistication. This sapphire's soft blue undertones lend it a unique charm that one might find irresistible when compared to more conventional options like rubies or emeralds.

Graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this sapphire offers both beauty and integrity. Unlike commonly polished stones that might disguise their imperfections beneath a layer of artifice, the very slight inclusions in this sapphire bear testament to its authenticity and natural form. The careful assessment of clarity ensures that any inclusions do not undermine the gem's overall brilliance or aesthetic appeal. On the contrary, this gem’s clarity grade becomes a hallmark of authenticity, particularly appealing to connoisseurs who value both the innate and cultivated aspects of gemstone quality.

Further enhancing the appeal, this sapphire hails from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing some of the world's finest gemstones. The origin assures buyers not only of its superior quality but also of its historical association with the pinnacle of gemstone craftsmanship. Unlike sapphires from newer, less storied locations, Ceylon sapphires are known for their longevity and stable supply, imbuing a sense of traditional excellence and reliability that has appealed to discerning collectors for centuries.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we take pride in offering gemstones that are not only stunning but also ethically sourced. Each facet of the blue sapphire is cut with precision, resulting in an excellent polish that dramatically enhances its natural fire and brilliance. The expert craftsmanship evident in this sapphire assures that it will become a cherished addition to any collection. With attention to detail and quality as the guiding principles, our products, like this exquisite blue sapphire, stand as a testament to the storied art of gemology, inviting buyers to appreciate the finer details present in this magnificent stone.
