Visually this sapphire is simply striking, with a vivid blue color intensity that commands attention whether held to the light or set in jewelry and worn on the hand. The emerald cut, with its broad step facets and clean lines, creates a luminous hall of light that emphasizes color and clarity rather than scintillation alone. With dimensions of 10.52 by 7.16 by 4.65 millimeters the stone presents a graceful table and an elegant face up size that flatters a range of mounting styles. The clarity grade is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean and open to the naked eye, a quality that many clients seek when they want a piece that feels pure and unencumbered. The excellent polish enhances facet crispness and allows the blue to sit as a true, vivid field of color, while the transparent nature of the stone allows light to travel and return with calm depth.

Practicality and versatility are central to the appeal of this sapphire, and this gem adapts seamlessly from casual to formal settings. Set in a minimal bezel or a delicate four prong engagement ring, the stone wears easily for everyday life, offering a strong color signature without appearing ostentatious. In evening or black tie settings the emerald cut shape reads as classic elegance, the broad facets catching refined flashes of light against formal attire. The size is perfect for designs that layer with bands, or for a solitary setting that wants to say understated luxury. For collectors and connoisseurs, the clarity and cut present an object of study that is as satisfying under a loupe as it is on display. The good durability that sapphires are known for means that the stone can be chosen for pieces that are intended to be worn often, and the heat treated enhancement is a common and stable treatment that improves color while being fully disclosed.

When provenance matters this sapphire brings the storied origin of Ceylon, Sri Lanka into the conversation, a source long respected for producing blue sapphires with a lively and appealing hue. The GIC certification underscores that the gem has been examined and documented by a reputable laboratory, and the report details such as carat weight, dimensions, cut, clarity, color intensity, polish, and enhancement are all available to support a confident purchase. The heat treated enhancement is fully disclosed, reflecting The Natural Sapphire Company approach of transparency for every facet of a gem. The combination of a vivid Ceylon blue, an eye clean clarity grade, and an emerald cut with excellent polish places this stone in a category of gems that appeal to both sentimental buyers seeking the right engagement stone and to experienced collectors seeking quality and rarity.
