0.79 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The exquisite centerpiece of this offering is a transparent blue sapphire weighing 0.79 carats. This gemstone enjoys a prestigious pear shape, measuring precisely 8.00 mm in length, 4.67 mm in width, and 2.96 mm in depth. Such careful dimensional calibration is complemented by a mixed brilliant cut, a sophisticated faceting style that harmonizes the radiant attributes of both the step cut and the brilliant cut. This faceted precision enhances the stone's natural luster, maximizing its optical performance through the graceful interplay of light and shadow. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we understand that well-executed cutting not only signifies fine craftsmanship but also testifies to our commitment to presenting gemstones in their most visually compelling form.

The sapphire's aesthetic appeal is further heightened by its clarity grade characterized as Very Very Slightly Included. This grade is determined through meticulous evaluation at eye level, ensuring a near-flawless surface with inclusions that are imperceptible to the unaided eye. Such clarity underscores the purity and transparency of the stone, allowing the viewer to fully appreciate its inherent beauty. This quality is accentuated by the medium color intensity, which infuses the sapphire with a delicate yet vivid blue hue. The color balance presents an enticing depth, evoking an intimate connection with its Ceylon (Sri Lanka) origins, where sapphires are historically renowned for their captivating colors and exceptional quality.

Attention to detail extends to the sapphire's surface finish, where excellent polish contributes another layer of visual sophistication. A scintillating polish not only manifests the skill of our artisans but also significantly enhances the stone's ability to reflect light, resulting in that definitive sparkle that endears sapphires to collectors and connoisseurs alike. At The Natural Sapphire Company, our dedication to superior craftsmanship is evidenced through this careful polishing process, emblematic of our broader commitment to gemstone excellence.

Beyond its physical characteristics and alluring aesthetics, this blue sapphire is believed by many to possess metaphysical and healing properties. Tradition holds that sapphires foster a sense of harmony and serenity, promoting mental clarity and peace. Some suggest that wearing sapphire can facilitate wisdom and protection, warding off negative energies while encouraging positive thought patterns. It is often associated with the throat chakra, aiding in powerful communication and self-expression. Whether you appreciate these attributes for their metaphysical resonance or merely admire such considerations as poetic enhancements to the stone's allure, incorporating a sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company into one's collection can enrich the jewelry with both beauty and meaning.
