Our sapphire features a very slightly included clarity grade, a fascinating aspect for gem enthusiasts and collectors as it attests to the natural processes that form such stones over millions of years. The clarity, or how clear and flawless a gemstone appears, is crucial in its overall valuation, and this stone’s minimal inclusions only serve to highlight its authenticity. The emerald cut enhances the sapphire's overall allure, offering a larger surface area to display its remarkable color.
