0.91 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the vibrant lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a pristine 0.91 carat oval-shaped blue sapphire began its journey. Nestled deep beneath the earth, it remained untouched for millennia, waiting for its time to shine. The lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, celebrated for their rich deposits of precious gemstones, serve as the birthplace of this extraordinary jewel. Aside from its breathtaking beauty, what makes this sapphire particularly desirable is the region's storied history of producing some of the world's most prized gemstones. The island's unique geographical conditions give rise to sapphires with distinctive qualities, setting Ceylon sapphires apart from all others.

When evaluating a sapphire, experts meticulously grade it on several crucial factors including cut, clarity, color, and origin. This particular sapphire boasts dimensions of 6.76 x 4.74 x 3.24 mm and features a mixed brilliant cut. The exceptional craftsmanship of the mixed brilliant cut enhances its natural beauty, maximizing its sparkle and brilliance in every light. Clarity is another crucial aspect of a gemstone's evaluation. Graded as slightly included, this sapphire contains minor inclusions that are not visible to the unaided eye, making its clarity grade suitable for discerning buyers who value both appearance and authenticity.

Color intensity greatly influences the value and appeal of a sapphire. This gem exhibits a very light color intensity, providing it with an ethereal and delicate blue hue. The soft sophistication of its color makes it highly coveted and provides a serene allure. Such subtlety is often appreciated by gemstone connoisseurs who understand that a lighter color intensity often highlights the extraordinary purity of a sapphire. The allure of its serene color is further enhanced by an excellent polish, which ensures the sapphire's surface is smooth and flawless, allowing it to reflect light beautifully.
