These inclusions, often regarded as a gemstone's natural fingerprint, are visible, albeit not to the naked eye, lending the sapphire its unique identity. Rather than detracting from the stone's appeal, these inclusions serve as a testament to its natural origin and formation process. They add character and depth to the sapphire and are appreciated by gemstone enthusiasts who value stones that tell their own story.

When evaluating blue sapphires, color intensity is a critical factor in determining quality. This gem boasts medium intense color, a rich and balanced shade of blue that enhances its overall appearance. Such intensity is achieved through carefully controlled cutting techniques that optimize color distribution across the stone. The sapphire's vivid hue is emblematic of Ceylon sapphires, which are celebrated worldwide for their lustrous and striking appearance. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pride ourselves on selecting only the finest examples that exhibit this desirable trait.

Additionally, this sapphire features an excellent polish, a detail that speaks to the craftsmanship involved in preparing the stone. A superior polish brings out the sapphire's inherent brilliance, ensuring that light reflects flawlessly off its surface. This quality not only highlights the gemstone's captivating color but also accentuates its architectural shape. The pear shape, favored for its graceful elongation and refined silhouette, adds a timeless appeal to any piece of jewelry. Sourced from the rich gem deposits of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this sapphire embodies the region's prestigious heritage in gemstone mining. With its outstanding quality and distinctive characteristics, it is a true testament to why Ceylon sapphires remain highly prized in the industry.
