0.70 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 0.70 carat round blue sapphire, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, embodies the rare union of classical elegance and island provenance. Precisely measured at 5.25 x 5.26 x 2.82 mm, the gem is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and depth, while an excellent polish delivers a mirror like finish across each facet. Hailing from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this stone displays an intense color intensity that reads as a vivid cornflower to royal blue depending on the light, a hue long celebrated in the courts and private collections of connoisseurs. Clarity is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, a natural fingerprint that confirms the gem is genuine and unopulent, while heat treated enhancement has been applied to refine tone and clarity and to ensure long lasting beauty and stability.

Beyond its beauty this sapphire is a jewel designed for a life of wear, offering remarkable durability for everyday elegance. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, sapphire rates a nine out of ten, second only to diamond which rates a ten, and significantly harder than popular gemstones such as topaz at eight and quartz at seven, making it exceptionally resistant to scratches and ideal for rings pendants and heirloom pieces that are intended to be worn and admired. The combination of intense Ceylon color mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish ensures maximum light return and presence on the hand, while the modest 0.70 carat weight and flawless proportions allow versatile design choices from a refined solitaire to a sophisticated halo or three stone setting. For the discerning collector seeking a statement of taste and permanence, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is more than an accessory, it is a declaration of refined judgement and enduring style.
