If you are searching for an engagement gem that offers both timeless elegance and exceptional optical performance, this transparent 0.98 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka answers that need beautifully. Measuring 7.16 x 5.20 x 3.33 mm, the stone is cut in an elegant oval outline with a mixed brilliant cut that combines step facets and brilliant facets into a geometric faceting pattern designed to maximize light return. The precisely arranged facets work together like lenses and mirrors, channeling light into vivid flashes and broad, lively scintillation, so the sapphire displays an intense color intensity and a lively play of light whether viewed in daylight or under evening illumination.
