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

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present a stone that speaks to the refined collector, a transparent bi color sapphire of exceptional poise and presence weighing 0.46 carat, a size that signifies both discretion and distinction. In an era of loud possessions, the truly opulent choose pieces that require an informed eye to fully appreciate, and this 0.46 carat oval embodies that sensibility. It is not merely the number that matters, it is how that carat weight is realized through proportion, cut and origin, and in this gem every element has been deliberately preserved to celebrate its natural provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka. To hold this sapphire is to hold a compact declaration of taste, a subtle but unmistakable achievement that speaks to enduring elegance rather than momentary trend.

Measured precisely at 5.35 x 4.28 x 2.59 mm, the oval silhouette and mixed brilliant cut have been executed to maximize face up brilliance and color play within the modest 0.46 carat weight. The mixed brilliant cut allows light to dance across the pavilion and crown, producing scintillation that belies the gem size, drawing the eye into the bi color transition that is both vivid and complex. Our grading records note a clarity of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity that preserves character while allowing the intense color intensity to remain the dominant impression. The polish is excellent, a final artisan touch that ensures each facet reflects with crispness and depth, and crucially, the sapphire has undergone no enhancement, leaving its natural chemistry and character intact for the collector who values authenticity.

The bi color nature of this sapphire is a study in refined contrast, where golden yellow facets converge with cooler bluish green tones, depending on the orientation and light source. At 0.46 carat this color interplay is concentrated and intimate, offering a palette that changes as the wearer moves and as daylight shifts to evening glow. This stone is ideal for a bespoke piece where craftsmanship can honor the dual hues, whether set as the solitary centerpiece of a delicate ring that sits close to the hand, or mounted as a pendant that catches sunlight during the day and indoor lamplight at night. The dimensions provide a generous face up appearance for the carat weight, and when coupled with the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish, the overall impression is of a gem that reads larger and more luminous than its modest weight might initially suggest.
