0.89 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is one beautiful transparent 0.89 carat oval shape blue sapphire, with precise dimensions of 6.38 by 4.53 by 3.77 mm, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. The gem has been cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining a faceted crown that favors step and modified facets with a brilliant style pavilion, a geometry that is deliberately chosen to maximize light play. The geometric faceting produces strong facet junctions and carefully proportioned angles, which enhance return of light through the table and crown, creating lively scintillation and a balanced spread of flash across the oval surface. The color presents as a pleasing medium intensity blue, crisp and clear to the eye, while the clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural sapphires and does not materially diminish its transparency or brilliance. The polish is excellent, allowing clean facet reflections, and the stone has been responsibly heat treated to optimize its color and clarity, a standard and stable enhancement for Ceylon sapphires.

For the informed buyer, several features of this Ceylon, Sri Lanka sapphire make it a compelling acquisition. Ceylon origin is known for producing bright, medium tone blues with lively top light response, and the moderate color intensity makes this gem versatile for both classic and contemporary settings. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to retain weight while increasing optical performance, which means you receive efficient light return and play without sacrificing carat presence. Slight inclusions, visible at eye level only in some orientations, can serve as a fingerprint of natural formation and often add to a stone being identifiable and collectible. Heat treatment is disclosed, and it is a durable, widely accepted process that enhances long term stability of color. With corundum hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, this sapphire is suitable for daily wear in rings, pendants, and other jewelry, provided a secure setting is chosen. At The Natural Sapphire Company we focus on transparent grading information and responsible sourcing, and we recommend viewing the stone under neutral lighting or requesting additional images and videos to appreciate the dynamic light performance achieved by the geometric faceting. If you prefer, we can advise on mounting styles that will showcase the sparkle and protect the gem for long term enjoyment.
