0.89 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a rare, transparent 0.89 carat pear shape blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, and it stands out both for its size and its unusually faint, pure tone. The gem measures 8.15 x 4.42 x 3.27 mm, yielding a total depth that is approximately fifty two percent of the average of the length and width, a proportion that reflects a well judged pavilion depth for balanced light return in a pear outline. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant style crown with a carefully modified pavilion, the faceting plan designed to maximize scintillation while controlling windowing. The cutter prioritized symmetry and facet alignment during shaping, producing a clean pear outline with consistent facet junctions and an excellent polish across the table, crown and pavilion facets. At eye level the stone is eye clean, with no significant inclusions visible to unaided vision, which is a notable clarity characteristic at this weight and form.

Color is faint in intensity, presenting a delicate, pale blue that reads as a soft, cool tone under both natural and artificial light, and this subtlety contributes heavily to the stone's rarity. Comparable Ceylon sapphires in the sub one carat range are commonly heated to deepen hue or improve saturation, making an untreated, naturally faint blue example at this size uncommon in the market. No enhancement has been applied, so the stone retains its natural zoning and color distribution, which the mixed brilliant faceting exploits to produce gentle flashes and a refined overall brightness. For designers and connoisseurs who value natural provenance, measured proportions, and artisanal cutting decisions, this pear sapphire offers a provenance advantage, technical precision, and a restrained aesthetic that suits elegant solitaire or three stone settings. The combination of Ceylon origin, mixed brilliant faceting, eye clean clarity, excellent polish, and no enhancement makes this 0.89 carat pear shape sapphire a distinct and collectible choice for fine jewelry.
