0.87 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that speak in whispers, and then there is this purplish blue sapphire that sings. Imagine a quiet dawn folded into a single oval, a 0.87 carat treasure that holds the hush of ocean twilight and the first violet of evening, captured in a form that measures 6.88 x 4.47 x 3.39 mm. Cut with a mixed brilliant face, each facet is a small mirror, reflecting light with a rhythm that feels like a pulse. Transparent and vivid, the stone wears an intense color intensity that at once draws the eye and invites a softened gaze. Under careful observation it is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a subtle testimony to its natural origin, and its excellent polish gives each plane a liquid clarity that makes the color bloom and breathe. This sapphire has been heat treated to awaken its inner blue and purple notes, and it hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land whose light and soil have long been the creative forces behind the world most treasured sapphires. When you hold it between finger and thumb the weight of 0.87 carat is perfectly balanced against the imagination, and the stone seems to promise stories yet to be written.

To own this gem is to invest in beauty and in the quiet mastery of the cutter and the earth that formed it. The mixed brilliant cut is more than an aesthetic choice, it is craftsmanship translated into geometry, a conversation between symmetry and fire that maximizes life while honoring the sapphire natural form. The proportions, measured precisely at 6.88 x 4.47 x 3.39 mm, give the gem a presence that fits both an intimate ring and a statement pendant. A sapphire is a durable companion, one of the hardest of precious gems, and so it is as practical as it is poetic, a jewel meant to be worn, to travel with you, and to be part of the rituals of daily life. The heat treatment that refines its hue is a widely accepted enhancement that brings forth the stone truest personality, while preserving its integrity.
