0.97 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The featured gemstone is a transparent 0.97 carat cushion-shaped blue sapphire measuring 7.18 x 3.82 x 3.55 mm. This exquisite sapphire, sourced from the esteemed mines of Ceylon, demonstrates the superior quality typical of this origin. Its mixed brilliant cut is a testament to expert faceting, maximizing the dispersion of light and revealing a striking balance between brilliance and fire. The precision of the cut enhances the stone's ability to refract light, showcasing the vibrancy of its hue with resplendent clarity. The clarity grade, identified as very slightly included when appraised at eye level, ensures minimal internal interruptions to the gem's stunning look, thereby preserving its mesmerizing transparency.

The medium intense color intensity further distinguishes this Ceylon sapphire as a true connoisseur's choice. The deep blue hue characteristic of this gem provides a visual richness that invites admiration from even the most discerning eye. This intensity rivals sapphires from other regions, underscoring the timeless beauty and elegance popular among high-end collectors and jewelry designers. The excellent polish of the gemstone adds a final touch of superiority, smoothing its surface to a mirror-like finish that complements the brilliance of its faceted faces. The polished exterior is the final testament to the craftsmanship involved in preparing this gemstone for market, resulting in a brilliant gloss that enhances every facet cut.

When paired with complementary gemstones, this blue sapphire's allure is beautifully amplified. Consider setting this sapphire with diamonds or white sapphires to create a striking contrast against the deep blue tones, which further emphasizes its dynamic coloration within a custom jewelry piece. Alternatively, juxtaposing the sapphire with vibrant colored gems like yellow sapphires or emeralds can create a unique piece reflecting a modern interpretation of luxury. The varied hues of accompanying gemstones highlight the blue sapphire's intrinsic qualities, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
