0.42 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent bi color sapphire weighs 0.42 carat, a weight that places it in a highly desirable category for collectors and fine jewelry buyers because it balances visual presence and everyday wearability. Cut into an elegant emerald shape and measuring 5.53 by 3.59 by 2.34 mm, this stone presents clean, linear facets that emphasize its clarity and subtle bi color character, while the very very slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, means the gem appears essentially eye clean to most observers, enhancing perceived size and sparkle. The light color intensity allows the sapphire to read as delicate and sophisticated, and the excellent polish maximizes light return so the stone appears larger and more lively than its carat weight alone might suggest. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, an attribute that significantly increases its rarity and value compared with the many heat treated or otherwise enhanced stones on the market, and its origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds provenance that collectors covet.

When comparing this 0.42 carat Ceylon bi color sapphire to typical market offerings, there are clear advantages in quality, value, and uniqueness that The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present. Many sapphires at similar or larger weights have been heat treated to intensify color or reduce visible inclusions, which lowers their long term value, while smaller, lower weight stones often lack the visual impact and faceted surface area necessary to showcase bi color zoning. At 0.42 carat, this emerald cut stone occupies a sweet spot, offering a perceptible presence in a delicate engagement setting or a refined pendant, while commanding a premium per carat because it is unenhanced, eye clean, and expertly polished. Compared with mass market options, this sapphire provides superior investment potential and aesthetic versatility, making it ideal for bespoke pieces where the natural origin, clarity, and honest weight are essential. If you value ethical sourcing, distinct color character, and the assurance of a natural, untreated gem, this Ceylon emerald cut sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a rare and compelling choice.
