This exquisite gemstone is a testament to nature's artistry and the meticulous craft of expert gemology. The centerpiece is a striking 1.26 carat pear-shaped blue sapphire that captivates with its exceptional beauty and quality. Measuring 8.81 x 4.99 x 3.82 mm, this gem presents a perfect balance of size and elegance, making it a distinguished choice for connoisseurs and collectors alike. Its transparency enhances the allure by allowing light to pass through effortlessly, highlighting the gem's vibrant and medium intense blue hue. This intensity of color is rare, enriching the sapphire's aesthetic with a vivid display that is both captivating and hypnotic.

The sapphire boasts a mixed brilliant cut, expertly crafted to maximize brilliance and fire. This cutting technique includes both brilliant and step-cut facets, thus ensuring optimum scintillation and a breathtaking play of light. This choice of cut accentuates the pear shape's graceful silhouette, making it ideal for creating stunning jewelry pieces that do not simply sparkle but radiate a profound brilliance. The jewel’s impressive clarity grade of very very slightly included signifies minimal internal inclusions, visible only upon close inspection. Evaluated at eye level, this degree of clarity ensures that the sapphire maintains a flawless exterior and creates an unblemished canvas that enhances the gem's inherent beauty.

Additionally, the sapphire boasts an excellent polish reflecting our commitment at The Natural Sapphire Company to only select stones that offer nothing less than the pinnacle of gemstone finish. The superior polish not only contributes to the gem’s aesthetic appeal but also enhances its durability by smoothing its surface to a faultless sheen. Polishing perfection means every facet of the sapphire—especially those critical edge-facing facets—redirects light brilliantly, adding depth and unrivaled lustre to its appearance. It's these facets that deliver the dynamic character expected from such a prestigious gemstone, signalling sophistication and grace within its multifaceted dimensions.
