0.87 Ct. Bi Color / Parti Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.87 carat pear shape bi color parti sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka captures attention the moment light touches its mixed brilliant faceted surface, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we consider it a rare find that will serve as the centerpiece of any fine jewelry collection, because few stones in this size combine transparent clarity, intense color intensity, and such carefully executed proportions. The pear shape measures 7.13 x 5.21 x 3.26 mm, a size that balances presence with wearability, and the mixed brilliant cut is designed to produce scintillation and depth simultaneously, sending lively flashes of blue and lighter tones across the table and crown facets. The clarity grade is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means you enjoy exceptional transparency and clean visual appeal under normal viewing conditions, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge returns light with crisp definition. This sapphire has been heat treated in a standard and fully disclosed manner to enhance its natural color, and the result is a stone that combines natural origin and practical enhancement for enduring beauty.

When you compare this Ceylon parti sapphire to other market offerings, the advantages become clear, because many small to medium sized sapphires compromise either color depth or cut quality in order to hit a price point, while this gem maintains an intense color intensity without sacrificing the mixed brilliant cutting that creates superior brilliance. Sapphires from lesser sources or with poorly executed cuts will often appear lifeless, or will show uneven color and windowing, where light passes straight through without returning sparkle, and you will not see that issue in this piece, because the cutter preserved weight while optimizing facet angles to maximize return of light. The bi color nature adds complexity and visual interest compared to single tone sapphires on the market, and the parti behavior gives a dynamic appearance that changes under different lighting situations and when set in different metals, which elevates perceived value and artistic versatility. While untreated stones can command premium prices, the controlled heat treatment here is industry standard for Ceylon sapphires and improves color stability and overall appearance, while still offering a natural, durable gem that presents better value than many untreated stones that lack the same cut and clarity.

From a design and uniqueness perspective this pear shaped 0.87 carat parti sapphire stands out because it blends classic form with unpredictable color play, qualities that many collectors and designers actively seek, because it offers both a wearable size and the visual drama often reserved for larger or more expensive pieces. Compared to round or step cuts commonly sold in the market, the pear shape elongates the finger when set in a ring, and the mixed brilliant cut creates a balance between lively scintillation and deep internal color, whereas step cuts tend to emphasize color at the expense of sparkle. The excellent polish and faceting precision mean that this sapphire will sit beautifully in a variety of settings, from a refined solitaire to a halo or three stone design, and because the clarity is very very slightly included at eye level most mounting styles will not need to hide inclusions, giving designers and customers greater freedom in metal choices and setting complexity. The provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka adds an important layer of desirability, because Sri Lankan sapphires are historically prized for their velvety saturation and lively tones, setting this gem apart from stones of uncertain origin or from sources that produce more muted or grayish blue material.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we know informed customers want transparency about quality and value, so we emphasize the attributes that matter when comparing sapphires, including origin, cut, clarity, color intensity, polish, and disclosed enhancements, and this 0.87 carat pear shape parti sapphire scores highly across these categories. In practical terms you receive a gem that will function as a centerpiece in bespoke jewelry or as an exceptional addition to a curated collection, because it combines rare parti color behavior, excellent cutting for brilliance, and a clarity grade that assures visual purity. Our pricing reflects the combination of these strengths, and when you weigh cost against comparable stones on the open market you will find this sapphire offers superior visual impact per carat without sacrificing the trust and documentation that experienced buyers require. If you are considering a setting or expert advice, our team can recommend designs that maximize the parti color play and protect the stone for everyday wear, ensuring this sapphire remains a treasured focal point for years to come.
