0.70 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Our featured gem, a 0.70 carat heart-shaped blue sapphire, is a testament to the allure and captivating beauty that has made sapphires a cherished choice among gemstones for centuries. With its dimensions measuring 5.45 x 5.88 x 3.11 mm, this sapphire promises not only a unique shape but also a standard of excellence synonymous with The Natural Sapphire Company. The charm of this particular sapphire lies not just in its delightful heart shape, which appeals to the romantics among discerning buyers, but also in its expertly crafted mixed brilliant cut. This specific cut enhances the gem's natural brilliance, a quality that truly sets it apart from more common gemstones like amethysts or garnets. While the latter might capture attention with their specific hues, neither can quite compete with the stunning interplay of light and color offered by a well-cut sapphire.

In the realm of gemstones, the clarity of a gem is a pivotal aspect contributing to its rarity and desirability. This sapphire carries a clarity grade of very slightly included. Under close examination at eye level, such a grading signifies that any inclusions present are minimal and do not mar the overall beauty and radiance of the gemstone. This feature is incredibly valuable for connoisseurs who appreciate the intrinsic pureness in a sapphire's appearance. The sapphire's clarity, combined with its very light color intensity, renders a pastel blue hue that is both subtle and elegant. This makes it an exceptional choice for individuals seeking understated elegance. Unlike more common stones, blue sapphires offer a unique range of colors while maintaining a hardness second only to diamonds. This factor, coupled with the excellent polish of our sapphire, reflects and refracts light beautifully, further accentuating the gemstone's natural splendor and creating a vivid dance of light with every movement.

The origin of a gemstone often plays a crucial role in both its cultural significance and its intrinsic value. Our featured sapphire hails from the storied lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. This location is celebrated worldwide for producing some of the most exquisite sapphires, renowned for their superior quality and captivating hues. The sapphires from Sri Lanka are distinguished by their brilliance and rich color saturation which are typically of higher caliber than those found in many other sapphire-producing regions worldwide. Purchasing a sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company means you are acquiring a piece of history, augmented by the time-tested traditions of Ceylonese gem craftsmanship which has been passed down through generations.
