1.64 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.64 carat blue sapphire presents a radiant shape, emerald cut, with precise dimensions of 8.13 by 5.24 by 4.10 millimeters. The stone originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it displays a vivid color intensity with an evenly distributed blue saturation. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the pavilion and crown display an excellent polish that enhances light return and surface luster. No enhancement has been applied, ensuring that the color and clarity are wholly natural. The combination of radiant outline and emerald cut faceting provides a refined balance between brilliance and linear elegance, making the gem suitable for a range of contemporary and classic settings.

The deep vivid blue of this sapphire complements a wide spectrum of skin tones when set in jewelry, and the choice of metal can subtly shift its perceived warmth or coolness. On fair and cool undertones the rich blue appears striking and clear, offering contrast that enhances the stone without overpowering delicate complexion tones. On medium and neutral undertones the sapphire reads as balanced and luminous, harmonizing with natural warmth and creating a versatile center stone for daily wear. On olive and warm undertones the depth of color provides a sophisticated counterpoint that accentuates golden and green undertones, while the vivid saturation prevents the stone from appearing flat against richer skin tones. For darker skin tones the intense blue offers a bold and luminous focal point, with the polished facets catching light and producing a lively presence. The emerald cut facets emphasize color depth and directional light, so settings that allow side and lower light entry, such as open bezel or four prong mounts, will maximize the stone glassy glow. The Natural Sapphire Company recommends considering metal contrast to tune the final effect, white metals to emphasize clarity and brilliance, warm metals to enhance richness, and mixed metal designs to create layered contrast.
