Its clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means to the naked eye the surface appears clean and pure, while tiny natural features confirm its authenticity and origin.

Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the provenance collectors respect, and its proportions make it versatile for classic solitaire rings, elegant three stone settings, or a refined pendant.
