0.76 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.76 carat asscher octagon shape blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a combination of proportions, clarity, and polish that sets it apart from the typical marketplace choices, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we see immediately why this stone stands above many competitors. The asscher cut is a precise geometry of concentric step facets that creates a hall of mirrors effect, and with dimensions of 5.06 x 5.05 x 3.49 mm and a depth that enhances color saturation, this sapphire returns light in broad, luminous planes rather than the scattered pinpoints you find in many round brilliants. The result is a vivid, velvety blue that reads stronger face up than many stones of similar carat weight, because the cut channels color and contrast into a compact, eye catching tableau. Compared with typical mixed cuts or lower grade rounds, this asscher octagon maximizes apparent color intensity and elegance while remaining eye clean at the evaluated grade of very very slightly included, which means the sparkle is uninterrupted at normal viewing distances.

Structurally this sapphire is engineered to sparkle in a way many other stones cannot, the step facets of an asscher develop deep, reflective windows that emphasize color zoning and internal light travel, producing broad flashes and rich depth rather than mere surface scintillation. The excellent polish on every facet ensures light is returned efficiently, so movement produces dramatic flashes of blue and brighter flashes where light meets facet junctions, an effect less pronounced in stones with worn or less precise finishing. Heat treated to stabilize and amplify its vivid tone, this Ceylon sapphire benefits from industry standard enhancement that improves both clarity and color without compromising structural integrity, making it a superior value to unheated stones that require much larger sizes to achieve the same visual impact. When you compare provenance, cut quality, and face up color, few alternatives offer the same balance of brightness and saturated color in a compact size. If you seek a sapphire that reads larger, sparkles with architectural brilliance, and carries the trusted provenance and craftsmanship of The Natural Sapphire Company, this asscher octagon is a distinctly superior choice.
