1.28 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the cool, weathered alluvial gravels of Ceylon where miners have sought blue light for centuries, this 1.28 carat oval blue sapphire began its life as a rough crystal with a story to tell, a stone shaped by geology and history. Hand selected for its transparency and medium color intensity, it traveled from Sri Lanka to the lapidary bench where skilled cutters revealed its inner fire. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to balance sparkle and shape, preserving weight while opening the stone to lively facets and a pleasing table view. Measuring 7.85 by 5.01 by 3.63 millimeters, the oval silhouette sits comfortably on the finger and offers a classic profile that still feels contemporary. Evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, the gem shows exceptionally clean sightlines and an excellent polish that allows light to dance across its surface. For honesty and performance the sapphire has been heat treated to stabilize and enrich its blue tone, a common and well established enhancement that honors the gem while enhancing its enduring beauty.
