This heart shape blue sapphire weighs 1.95 carats, and measures 6.76 by 8.70 by 4.11 millimeters, with overall proportions that present a slightly elongated heart profile. The cutter has employed a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, with a brilliant style crown that yields lively dispersion and scintillation, and a modified pavilion architecture that controls flash pattern and maximizes light return within a medium intense body color. The depth is approximately fifty three percent when calculated against the mean of the length and width, a proportion that balances face up spread with internal brilliance for a heart shaped outline. Clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the inclusions being minor and well isolated so as not to interrupt the optical pathway, and the stone displays excellent polish across facets, which enhances its transparency and the even distribution of color. This sapphire is unenhanced, its color and clarity preserved without heat or diffusion, and it derives from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing blue sapphires with a lively cornflower to violet blue character, here expressed as a medium intense, even saturation that reads clean and vivid in daylight and artificial white light.
From a setting and craftsmanship perspective there are several technical choices that will accentuate this heart shaped mixed brilliant sapphire, and The Natural Sapphire Company recommends approaches that respect the stone geometry and faceting behavior. For maximum light performance allow controlled pavilion exposure with prong settings that lift the girdle slightly above the mounting plane, using four low profile, finely tapered prongs that secure the cleft and the tip, while avoiding excessive metal coverage of the lobes, which are critical to the heart reading. A six prong micro setting can be used for circulating support in a halo design, while a rub over or bezel setting is an alternative where durability is paramount, a thin bezel with a polished inner edge will protect the girdle and tip while retaining much of the face up brilliance if the bezel is kept minimal. Given the excellent polish and the mixed faceting geometry, an open head with under gallery apertures will allow light to enter the pavilion and contribute to the stone s apparent brightness. Metal choice will alter perceived color, white platinum or 18 karat white gold will emphasize the cooler cornflower tones and enhance contrast, 18 karat yellow gold will warm the blue slightly and can be used to achieve a more vintage aesthetic, rose gold will introduce a soft complementary warmth which can make the medium intense blue read richer and more violet biased.
When composing a custom piece around this heart sapphire, consider complementary gemstones and cuts that respond to both color theory and facet interaction. A halo of small round brilliant diamonds in the F to G color range with VS clarity will amplify perceived size and introduce high value flashes, while keeping melee sizes in the 0.01 to 0.03 carat range will preserve the heart shape silhouette. For shoulder stones use tapered baguettes or shield cut diamonds to create linear contrast with the heart s lobes, or use trilliant cut accent sapphires in pink or padparadscha tone at approximately 0.10 to 0.25 carat each to introduce directional color interplay and to offset the blue with warm pink or peach. For a bolder color combination consider pairing the Ceylon blue with green tsavorite garnets in calibrated rounds or trillions, their vivid green will provide a complementary hue contrast and a high chroma pairing that enhances the blue saturation. If the design intention is romantic and luminous, a double halo with an inner row of small pink sapphires followed by an outer row of white diamonds will create layered color transitions, and micro pavé craftsmanship with matched facet alignment will ensure that scintillation patterns of the center stone and the pavé work in concert rather than fighting each other. For rings consider placing the heart tip toward the fingertip for a classic presentation, or tip inward for a more intimate reading, and ensure the pavilion is accessible for cleaning to maintain the optical clarity over time.
The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on specific accent stone sizes, facet orientations, and metal finishes to achieve the optical outcome you desire, and our bench work focuses on precision symmetry in the cleft and lobes, tight prong geometry, and matched facet alignments between center and side stones to optimize light return. Because this sapphire is natural and untreated, its intrinsic color will interact predictably with selected metals and accents, and careful choices in mount design will magnify the medium intense blue without obscuring the heart silhouette. For a custom engagement ring or a one of a kind pendant this stone will perform exceptionally as a centerpiece, its mixed brilliant faceting delivering dynamic life, its transparent clarity presenting clean color, and its Ceylon provenance offering a distinctive and collectible blue that rewards thoughtful setting and sympathetic gemstone pairing.
