1.32 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.32 carat round blue sapphire measures 6.53 x 6.50 x 4.13 mm, and presents as a transparent, faceted gem cut in a mixed brilliant style. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceted crown with a pavilion arrangement that optimizes both brilliance and color saturation, producing lively scintillation across the table and a deep, uniform blue when viewed face up. Color intensity is classified as intense, a highly desirable grade for Ceylon origin stones, and the stone displays an even distribution of blue with vivid saturation that interacts well with white light. Clarity is slightly included at eye level, with minor natural features that do not distract from the overall visual impact, and the polish is excellent, resulting in sharp facet junctions and crisp light return from the crown facets.

From a technical perspective the mixed brilliant faceting in this round shape was executed to balance light return and color depth, favoring slightly deeper pavilion geometry to enhance blue saturation while preserving table brilliance. The facet symmetry and excellent polish maximize contrast between the star and kite facets on the crown, producing controlled flashes rather than excessive sparkle that would wash out the hue. Slight inclusions are internal and below the table plane, which maintains clean face up appearance and structural integrity. The sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves transparency and color uniformity, and this treatment is fully disclosed and compatible with traditional jewelry settings. At 1.32 carat and roughly 6.5 mm across, the sapphire is well suited as a center stone for refined rings, delicate pendants, or bespoke designs that prioritize proportion and wearable comfort.
