The Natural Sapphire Company presents an exquisite 1.04 carat transparent blue sapphire that is sure to captivate the discerning eye of an educated buyer. This remarkable gemstone boasts an elegant oval shape and is skillfully cut with a mixed brilliant style, which enhances its visual appeal by allowing optimal light reflection and refraction. With dimensions measuring 6.39 x 5.06 x 3.80 mm, this sapphire has been expertly crafted to balance both size and brilliance. Its polish is excellent, ensuring a smooth and lustrous surface that catches the light with every movement.

The sapphire is graded as very slightly included at eye level, denoting its exceptional clarity.

This sapphire exhibits a vivid color intensity, which is a rare and highly sought-after attribute. Compared to other gemstones within its category, such as rubies and emeralds, sapphires are renowned for their ability to maintain their stunning hue under a variety of lighting conditions. This particular sapphire, with its vivid saturation, stands out even more due to its origins from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Ceylon sapphires are globally recognized for their superior quality and rich, deep blues, making this piece not only visually stunning but also a sound investment due to its provenance.

When considering the reflective qualities of this sapphire in comparison to other gemstones, its mixed brilliant cut gives it an edge, as it maximizes brilliance and sparkles more intensively than many other stones. While some gemstones like emeralds are valued for their softer glow, the reflective properties of sapphires offer a level of brilliance akin to that of diamonds, though with a distinctive blue hue that is unique and unmistakably striking. The Natural Sapphire Company ensures that each gemstone is carefully evaluated and selected for its quality and uniqueness, offering you not just a piece of jewelry but a timeless symbol of elegance and distinction. Investing in this exquisite sapphire is a testament to one’s appreciation of fine craftsmanship, rarity, and the enduring allure of one of nature’s most precious creations.
