0.84 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Every jewel tells a story, and this exquisite transparent 0.84 carat marquise blue sapphire tells a tale of refinement and rare beauty, curated by The Natural Sapphire Company. Cut to a graceful marquise silhouette, measuring 7.40 by 4.06 by 3.43 mm, this stone has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillating brilliance with elegant length and poise. Its intense color intensity commands attention, a sumptuous blue that sits between deep ocean and twilight, a hue that reads as both stately and alive. The clarity has been assessed as very very slightly included at eye level, a whisper of nature that attests to the gem authenticity while remaining visually pristine to the unaided eye. With no enhancement and an excellent polish, this sapphire is a rare encounter of untouched natural origin and masterful cutting, an object of desire for the collector who demands both provenance and presence.

The marquise shape is an embodiment of prestige and individuality, a form that elongates the hand and captures light in elongated flashes that are uniquely flattering. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to optimize return of light from the pavilion and crown, allowing each facet to perform a delicate dance that results in lively scintillation and deep color saturation. The proportions, at 7.40 by 4.06 by 3.43 mm, have been chosen with a connoisseurial eye to maintain a striking silhouette without sacrificing face up presence, ensuring the stone reads larger and more luminous on the finger. The excellent polish amplifies the gem surface to a mirror like finish, a subtle signal of the lapidary skill involved, and the very very slightly included clarity grade speaks to authenticity and rarity, evidence of a natural formation process that cannot be replicated by treatments or enhancements.
