0.71 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite, transparent greenish blue sapphire weighs 0.71 carat, with precise dimensions of 4.37 by 4.29 by 3.60 millimeters, presented in an elegant asscher octagon shape that captures light with serene geometry. The asscher cut emphasizes the gem's internal depth and creates a modern, architectural sparkle that is both refined and undeniably captivating. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, this sapphire offers a clarity that reads clean and bright to the wearer, while its intense color intensity gives it a deep, alluring presence that shifts between a vivid teal and a poetic blue depending on the light. The polish is excellent, revealing crisp facets and a high degree of optical precision. There has been no enhancement to alter its natural beauty, meaning you hold a sapphire in its pure, original condition. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and listed as Other certified, this stone carries the heritage of one of the world’s most storied sapphire sources, a provenance that adds to its romance and rarity.
