0.93 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape blue sapphire weighs 0.93 carat, and measures 6.93 by 4.95 by 4.24 millimeters, offering proportions that are well suited to a variety of fine jewelry designs. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the faceting pattern combines a faceted pavilion with a more open crown, which enhances scintillation while preserving depth of color. The stone exhibits intense color intensity, an attribute that elevates its presence on the finger or as a pendant, and its polish has been evaluated as excellent, ensuring crisp facet junctions and lively light return. Clarity is described as very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, which for an educated buyer indicates that the inclusions do not detract from face up brilliance or overall visual appeal, and that the stone presents as clean to most observers without reliance on magnification for its performance.

This sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and widely accepted enhancement in the trade, applied to optimize color and clarity in a stable manner. Heat treatment in natural sapphires is permanent when properly performed, and it is disclosed here to ensure full transparency for the conscious consumer. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region with a long established reputation for producing sapphires that combine lively saturation with a distinctive clarity and brilliance. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their ability to show vivid blue hues with a slightly lighter, more vivid character than some other sources, which makes this gem particularly desirable for collectors who value traceable origin and classic gemological attributes. The combination of intense color, excellent polish, and a mixed brilliant cut results in a gem that conveys both depth and sparkle, traits that discerning buyers seek for long term enjoyment and potential future resale.
