1.01 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite gemstone embodies the allure and enduring beauty of a premium blue sapphire. Weighing 1.01 carats, the first thing that captures one's attention is the meticulously crafted radiant cut. This rare and stunning cut is achieved through expert faceting, designed to maximize the sapphire’s brilliance, while simultaneously enhancing the vibrancy of its color. With dimensions of 6.91 by 4.34 by 3.50 millimeters, this gem is perfectly proportioned, making it an ideal choice for an exceptional piece of jewelry that will undoubtedly be admired.

A major aspect distinguishing this gemstone is its clarity grade, classified as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. This grading denotes the presence of tiny inclusions, which under closer examination, offer insights into the gemstone’s natural formation process. Rather than detracting from its value, these internal characteristics serve as unique identifiers, much like a fingerprint, bestowing individuality and authenticity. For the discerning buyer, understanding and appreciating these nuances underscores why this sapphire stands as more than just a visual marvel—it represents a chapter in geological history. The inclusions provide evidence of its natural origin, further enhancing its uniqueness and desirability.

When considering color, this sapphire displays a medium color intensity that sets it apart as an exquisite piece. The balance it strikes in terms of hue and saturation offers a rich, deep blue, embodying both vibrancy and subtlety. Its color is not only pleasing under natural daylight but also retains an enchanting luster under various lighting conditions, highlighting its versatile beauty. Enhanced by its excellent polish, the sapphire’s surface mirror-perfect finish allows light to dance across its facets, intensifying the gem's innate splendor and reflective qualities. Such attention to detail in terms of cut and polish is a testament to the craftsmanship associated with high-quality gemstones.
