1.73 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting an exceptional 1.73 carat asscher octagon sapphire that commands attention with understated authority, a gemstone where proportion, transparency, and color converge to create an objet d art. This greenish blue sapphire measures 6.48 by 6.33 by 4.75 millimeters, a size that reads boldly in any fine jewelry setting while remaining perfectly balanced and wearable. The asscher cut, with its architectural step facets and truncated corners, produces a hall of mirrors effect that magnifies the stones intense color intensity and celebrates its transparent clarity. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, the clarity of this gem allows light to pass and play without distraction, and the excellent polish translates each facet into a plane of luminous reflection. Heat treated to refine and stabilize its alluring hue, this sapphire carries the timeless provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long revered for producing sapphires with an elegant depth and natural vibrancy.

For the collector who desires a signature piece that declares impeccable taste, the dimensions and clarity of this sapphire make it an ideal centerpiece. At 1.73 carats, the stone is large enough to dominate a ring or pendant yet refined enough to work within bespoke designs that emphasize form and craftsmanship. The asscher octagon silhouette lends itself to both modern and vintage-inspired settings, where the stones step facets will read crisply under gallery lights, and where a single prong or sleek bezel will elevate the gem into a wearable masterpiece.
