The clarity grade of this sapphire is designated as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, an indicator of its remarkable purity and beauty. This clarity assessment means that the inclusions are minimal and barely visible to the naked eye, enhancing the stone’s visual appeal without compromising its integrity. Clarity is a crucial aspect when evaluating gemstones, as it can significantly affect their value. This sapphire's clarity suggests that it stands among superior classes of gemstones, as the fewer the inclusions, the more valuable and sought-after a gem becomes. In comparison to sapphires from other regions, this particular gemstone demonstrates an impressive degree of clarity that sets it apart and elevates its status as a desirable investment.

A defining feature of this sapphire is its medium color intensity, which strikes a perfect balance between nuance and vibrancy. The blue hue is neither too light nor overwhelmingly dark, instead presenting a captivating and consistent tone that is most cherished among aficionados. Its color can be compared to the renowned sapphires from Kashmir, yet it adds a unique dimension with its distinct and evenly distributed tones. While the famed Kashmir sapphires are known for their azure and velvety quality, this sapphire from Ceylon possesses a charming cornflower blue hue that holds its ground with grace and allure. It presents a color subtly softer than the intense royal blues often found in Burmese sapphires or the dynamic blues sourced from Madagascar, offering a unique alternative for connoisseurs who appreciate subtlety and charm.

Origin is a vital factor in valuing a sapphire, with certain locales producing stones esteemed for their distinct qualities. This particular sapphire hails from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing some of the most prestigious and coveted sapphires in the world.

Historically, Ceylon sapphires have been associated with royalty and the elite, often chosen for crown jewels and significant adornments.
