1.64 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped blue sapphire weighs 1.64 carats, and measures approximately 10.10 by 5.49 by 4.26 millimeters, offering a graceful elongated silhouette that flatters both rings and pendants. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, a cutting style that combines the scintillation of a brilliant facet arrangement on the pavilion with a more classic table and crown to preserve weight and produce lively light return. Its transparency is notably clear for a natural sapphire, and the clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, meaning that inclusions are present only as minor features under unaided observation and do not interrupt the overall visual appeal. Color is described as medium intense blue, a hue that sits in the desirable mid spectrum where saturation and tone balance to create a vivid, yet wearable, blue that is unmistakably Ceylon in character. The stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement in the trade that serves to enrich color and improve clarity when applied and disclosed as we do, and it displays an excellent polish that allows the mixed brilliant facet pattern to dance with sparkle in daylight and artificial lighting alike.

For the informed buyer, several technical attributes of this sapphire underscore its value and collectability. Carat weight of 1.64 places this gem in a range that is substantial enough to make a statement, while its pear shape with refined proportions gives visual size and elegance on the finger. The mixed brilliant cut is an intelligent cutter choice for a stone of these dimensions, because it maximizes brilliance without overly sacrificing weight, and the excellent polish and careful facet alignment confirm precision cutting and finishing. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level is particularly important, because in sapphires slight internal characteristics are common, and when they are minimal as here, they contribute to a natural appearance and do not compromise durability. The medium intense color intensity is a significant positive, as it provides an appealing depth without drifting into the overly dark tones that can reduce sparkle or into the pale tones that can lessen presence. Origin plays a meaningful role for collectors and buyers, and this sapphire originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, an area renowned for producing sapphires with lively cornflower and velvety blue tendencies. Ceylon provenance suggests a gem that is often lighter and more radiant than stones from some other localities, and it is a provenance sought by those who appreciate historical and geological context in their purchases.
