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

This pear shape bi color sapphire from Ceylon is a striking example of natural beauty meeting precision cutting, a gem that stands out immediately when compared to more common market offerings. Weighing 1.15 carats and measuring 7.73 by 5.29 by 3.81 mm, this stone occupies the sweet spot between dainty and bold, making it large enough to command attention while remaining perfectly wearable for daily or occasional wear. The transparency of this sapphire, combined with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, gives it a lively internal sparkle that many similarly sized sapphires simply do not exhibit. Where many sapphires in the same carat range are heat treated or exhibit cloudiness at the eye level, this gem is unenhanced and graded very slightly included at eye level, which means clarity is exceptionally high for a natural sapphire, and the tiny internal features present only add to its character without diminishing its visual impact.

When you compare this bi color sapphire to others available on the market, several advantages become clear, starting with provenance and treatment. Ceylon, or Sri Lanka, is renowned for producing sapphires with bright, lively hues and fine crystallographic structure, and this stone exemplifies that reputation. The medium color intensity of the bi color display is versatile, shifting subtly in different lighting to show both warm and cool tones, which makes it more dynamic than uniform single color sapphires. Many competitive stones of similar carat have undergone enhancements to deepen or stabilize color, which lowers long term value and changes how the sapphire responds to light and wear. This gem requires no such enhancement, offering collectors and clients a more authentic, stable, and investment worthy option. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return across the pear shape profile, producing a broad, lively face up appearance that can rival higher carat stones that are less well cut. The combination of excellent polish and precise proportions produces a readably larger look on the finger or in a pendant, giving designers and buyers confidence that they are choosing a true statement piece rather than a compromise.

Designers and customers seeking a centerpiece that reads as refined and substantial will appreciate how this sapphire behaves in practical settings, which is a critical comparison point to lesser stones. At 7.73 by 5.29 mm the stone maps perfectly to classic solitaire engagement settings, elegant drop pendants, and bespoke halo designs, where its pear outline provides directional movement and visual elongation. The very slightly included clarity grade means the stone will show bright, uninterrupted flashes of light in hand, unlike more included stones that can appear dull or patchy. Against white, yellow, or rose gold, the bi color nature of this sapphire creates appealing contrast, softening formal looks and elevating casual styles, which makes it more versatile than monochrome sapphires that can feel limited by their single tone. From a value perspective, the absence of enhancements combined with Ceylon origin and expert cutting offers a level of rarity and assurance that many market alternatives lack, so buyers are securing a gem that holds both intrinsic beauty and long term desirability.
