0.88 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.88 carat round blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a presence that outperforms many stones in the same size category, thanks to its precise proportions of 6.06 by 6.00 by 3.20 millimeters, mixed brilliant cut, vivid color intensity, and excellent polish, The Natural Sapphire Company selects sapphires that balance measurable dimensions with visual impact, and this gem proves that a sub one carat weight can still read as a true statement piece. Compared to typical market options where cutters prioritize weight retention over optical performance, this sapphire shows superior light return and scintillation, the mixed brilliant faceting maximizes fire and brilliance in a round outline the way fewer, average cut sapphires do not. Clarity plays a defining role in presence and sparkle, and this stone is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms renders it effectively eye clean, while many competing stones at this price and size will show more visible inclusions that mute color and reduce brilliance.

When choosing a center stone for a bold solitaire or a halo ring intended to command attention, size alone is not enough, clarity and cut must work together to create impact, this sapphire delivers that combination, the vivid hue is lively and saturated without being dark, which gives it more versatility and a stronger visual pull under varied lighting compared to deeper, heavily saturated stones that can appear flat. Heat treated enhancement is a stable and accepted practice that brings out the best character of Ceylon sapphires, and the excellent polish enhances durability and light performance, The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem as a higher value alternative to larger, poorly cut or heavily included sapphires that cost more but perform less. For buyers comparing options on the market, this sapphire stands out for its balanced dimensions, near eye clean clarity, vivid color intensity, and top level finish, all of which make it an exceptional choice for a statement piece that reads larger and brighter than its carat weight might suggest.
