0.95 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.95 carat round blue sapphire measures 5.73 x 5.67 x 3.63 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth of color, and an excellent polish that enhances surface brilliance. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, this gem displays inclusions that are minimal and discrete, visible only under careful inspection. The color intensity is medium intense, offering a true Ceylon blue that is neither overly dark nor pastel, and the stone is natural with no enhancement. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing sapphires with lively tone and clarity. The proportions and mixed brilliant facet arrangement maximize light return while preserving the gem body color, making this piece an ideal choice for a classic engagement setting or an elegant everyday pendant.

The inclusions present in this sapphire are best described as distinctive internal fingerprints, they serve as natural identifiers that authenticate the stone and tell the story of its formation deep within the earth. Instead of detracting from value, these very slight inclusions provide a fingerprint for future identification and contribute to the gem character that collectors and informed buyers prize. For an educated buyer, the combination of a natural, untreated Ceylon origin, a clear very slightly included clarity at eye level, and a well executed mixed brilliant cut represents a superior balance of rarity and practicality. The lack of enhancement enhances long term value and market desirability, as untreated sapphires from Ceylon are sought after for their natural color and stable appearance.
