0.88 Ct. Color Change Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.88 carat oval color change sapphire presents a refined balance of weight and optical presence, reflecting a premium quality that is measurable and observable. The stone measures 7.13 x 4.97 x 2.97 mm, and its near one carat weight gives it a noticeable face up presence that performs well in both solitaire and halo settings. Cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style, the pavilion and crown proportions have been executed to enhance light return and color play, while the excellent polish contributes to crisp facet intersections and a clean, lively appearance. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that supports transparency and depth without distracting inclusions. Color intensity is described as intense, and the gem exhibits a distinct color change character that responds to differing light sources, a trait that is inherently sought after in premium color change sapphires. The sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement in the trade, and its documented origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, aligns with a long history of producing sapphires with attractive hue and saturation.

From a gemological and practical perspective, the 0.88 carat weight is an important attribute that denotes both rarity and versatility. Weight in carats has a nonlinear impact on value, and stones approaching the one carat mark often command proportionally greater interest among collectors and fine jewelry designers. The dimensions of this oval allow a balanced spread with good face up area relative to its weight, making it suitable for engagement rings and fine pendants where a refined, premium look is desired without an oversized profile. The combination of mixed brilliant cut, intense color, and excellent polish maximizes visual appeal, while the very very slightly included clarity ensures durability and a clean appearance under normal viewing. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this sapphire with full disclosure of treatment and origin, and with professional evaluation notes on cut, clarity, and dimensions. For clients seeking a color change sapphire that represents premium quality in a discreet and wearable size, this 0.88 carat oval from Ceylon presents a precise and well documented choice.
