0.87 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.87 carat oval blue sapphire measures 7.03 x 4.79 x 3.09 mm, with a calculated depth proportion of approximately 52 percent, a proportion that yields strong face up presence while maintaining optimal light return. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the crown features a precise array of kite and star facets that transition to a brilliant pavilion, the combination engineered to maximize scintillation and preserve color saturation in medium intense blue tones. The oval outline has balanced length to width ratios that minimize bow tie effect, and the table size has been controlled to enhance brightness without sacrificing depth of color, the excellent polish producing crisp facet junctions and durable facet edges that reflect skilled lapidary work.

Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions that are minimal and well positioned to avoid disrupting light performance, which allows this stone to read as clean and visually impactful in a face up view, qualities that make it ideal for a statement piece despite the 0.87 carat weight. The medium intense color intensity is a classic Ceylon blue, offering vivid saturation and a lively tone that benefits from the mixed brilliant faceting to produce both strong flashes and even color distribution, the origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adding provenance and desirability. No enhancement has been applied, the natural state of the sapphire enhancing its value for collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize untreated material, and the excellent polish and symmetry attest to careful craftsmanship suitable for high end settings. For clients seeking a center stone that communicates refined presence, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a versatile candidate for solitary rings or dramatic halo settings, a gem whose technical proportions, faceting strategy, clarity and natural medium intense color combine to deliver the impact of a statement jewel.
