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

This 0.94 carat oval shape bi color parti sapphire measures 6.09 x 4.87 x 3.87 mm, and is faceted using a mixed brilliant cut that combines a precise crown of triangular and kite facets with a pavilion organized to maximize return and color saturation. The mixed brilliant geometry concentrates light into the table while allowing controlled dispersion through the pavilion facets, producing a balance between scintillation and broad flash. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, with inclusions positioned and proportioned so as not to disrupt the optical symmetry or light return. Color intensity is described as intense, exhibiting distinct bi color zoning consistent with parti sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and the excellent polish enhances facet junction integrity and overall surface luster. The stone has undergone standard heat treatment to improve color uniformity and crystal clarity, a stable and well understood enhancement in Ceylon sapphires, and the cutting profile preserves weight while optimizing proportions for mounting in either solitaire or halo settings.

Provenance and workmanship are fundamental to creating a generational heirloom, and this sapphire is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company with full disclosure of origin and enhancement. Corundum hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale gives the stone exceptional resistance to abrasion and scratching, making it suitable for everyday wear when set in a secure mounting. The oval outline and mixed brilliant faceting lend themselves to classic settings that protect the girdle and pavilion, such as low profile bezels or four to six prong crowns that distribute stress evenly. Precision cutting and excellent polish reduce the need for frequent reworking, preserving the original proportions and brilliance across generations. For longevity, periodic professional cleaning and an occasional surface inspection to verify mounting integrity will maintain optical performance and structural security. Accompanying documentation from The Natural Sapphire Company assures traceability and supports appraisal and insurance, facilitating transfer of provenance with minimal friction. When combined with careful setting, routine maintenance, and custodial records, this Ceylon bi color parti sapphire is technically and materially suited to become a meaningful family heirloom that retains both aesthetic appeal and documented authenticity over time.
