This sapphire presents as a transparent 4.50 carat pear shape, with precise dimensions of 12.29 x 8.42 x 6.16 mm. The mixed brilliant cut harmonizes the classic allure of the pear silhouette with modern faceting that maximizes scintillation and return of light. The stone carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in plain terms means that the gem appears clean to the unaided eye while retaining the natural character and internal features that confirm its authenticity. Its color intensity is classified as intense, a saturated blue that speaks directly to the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, an origin revered for producing sapphires with that luminous, velvety blue so prized by collectors and designers alike. The surface shows an excellent polish, ensuring that every curve and facet interacts with light to produce flashes of brilliance and depth. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement used to bring out the best in natural stones, and this treatment has been executed with great care to preserve the stone integrity and beauty.
