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

This 1.24 carat emerald cut bi color sapphire from Ceylon is a rare and compelling choice for collectors and designers who value substance and character, the significant weight places this gem above the many smaller bi color sapphires commonly seen on the market, a stone over one carat carries a visible presence, adds to intrinsic value, and often commands a meaningful premium compared with sub one carat examples. Measuring 6.98 by 5.08 by 3.48 millimeters, this transparent sapphire presents an elegant emerald cut that accentuates its sharp color zoning and facet interplay, the vivid color intensity and excellent polish ensure lively light return, while the clarity graded as very very slightly included at eye level gives clean appearance to the naked eye, this combination is uncommon, many bi color sapphires are either heavily included, treated to enhance color, or cut in smaller sizes that diminish visual impact, this untreated gem with no enhancement retains its natural origin and beauty, and that authenticity increases its rarity and long term appeal.

Compared with similar stones, this sapphire stands out for the balance of weight, clarity, and origin, Ceylon sapphires are renowned for their lively hues and natural brilliance, and an untreated 1.24 carat example with vivid intensity and excellent polish rarely appears at this quality level, where many alternatives on the market may be heat treated, fracture filled, or below one carat to achieve similar appearance, those options offer short term savings but lack the permanence and investment potential of a natural, untreated gem. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize provenance and gemological quality, this sapphire’s size makes it versatile for rings, pendants, or bespoke settings that benefit from the emerald cut’s architectural lines, the extra weight enhances face up size and presence, elevating both aesthetic value and market rarity, for buyers seeking a distinct, high quality bi color sapphire that compares favorably to mass market options, this piece offers a superior blend of substance, natural color, clarity, and craftsmanship.
