0.96 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing an exquisite jewel that speaks to both authenticity and refined craftsmanship, The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this transparent 0.96 carat pear-shaped purplish blue sapphire. Sourced from the renowned gemstone deposits of Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, this sapphire represents a vivid tapestry of both tradition and unparalleled geological formation. The pear shape is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a deliberate choice that brings out the innate beauty of this stone, allowing for maximum light reflection due to the mastery exhibited in its mixed brilliant cut.

The art of cutting a sapphire to unveil its maximum potential lies in understanding the interplay between shape and form. The mixed brilliant cut of this sapphire is a testament to such expertise. Designed to enhance the gemstone’s brilliance, this cut harmonizes the natural flow of light within the stone, enabling it to refract and disperse light in an almost luminous display. This particular cut comprises both step-cut facets and those akin to a traditional brilliant cut, rendering a spark that captivates the observer’s gaze with a striking kaleidoscope of purplish blue hues. The strategic faceting also ensures that any intrinsic inclusions are kept to a bare minimum, complementing the gemstone's very very slightly included clarity grade. Esteemed for its medium color intensity, this sapphire exhibits a balanced depth of color that neither overwhelms nor underperforms, serving purely the desirous tints that only sapphires of such merit can muster.

Attention to detail does not end there. An excellent polish infuses this sapphire with an enviable sheen that mirrors the diligence in its finishing touches, further elevating its visual appeal. Such characteristics enrich its value to the educated buyer seeking authenticity, rarity, and a timeless connection with nature’s finest. Celebrating over three generations of expertise in dealing with gemstones of such stature, The Natural Sapphire Company assures transparency and knowledge expressed in every presentation. Whether intended as a heirloom or cherished adornment, this sapphire encapsulates the splendor and serenity of its Ceylonese heritage while immutable clarity and perfect polish position it as a gem of choice for the discerning collector.
