1.38 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.38 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is an exemplar of precise lapidary work and classical proportion, measuring 8.22 by 5.95 by 3.88 mm, with a length to width ratio of approximately 1.38 and a depth of approximately 54.8 percent, proportions that favor strong light return and a lively face up presentation. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, with a brilliant crown that maximizes scintillation and a pavilion that blends step and brilliant elements to add depth and a controlled play of light, the facet junctions and symmetry demonstrating careful angling for optimal light performance. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean to the naked eye while possessing minor internal characteristics that do not impede brilliance, the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet reflections and a satiny surface free of polishing haze. Color grade is vivid, a saturated Ceylon blue with a vibrant, slightly velvety tone that remains evenly distributed across the oval outline, and enhancement by stable heat treatment has been disclosed, a standard and accepted practice to develop color and clarity while maintaining the structural integrity of the corundum.
