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

This 1.62 carat oval bi color parti sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a rare and honest example of what natural, untreated sapphires can offer, dimensions seven point three one by five point nine five by four point six two millimeters, faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color, clarity evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. Compared with the many heat treated or lab created options on the market, this sapphire stands out because it has no enhancement, so the attractive two tone character is entirely natural and stable, providing both intrinsic rarity and long term value. Many commercial sapphires sacrifice clarity for size, or use heavy treatments to deepen color, but this gem achieves a striking, lively appearance without compromise, making it a superior choice for collectors and for a signature engagement piece. The mixed brilliant cut gives the oval form considerable life, delivering flashes of white light from the facets while preserving the parti zoning that makes the stone unique, and the Ceylon origin contributes a characteristic vibrancy often missing in stones from other sources.

When imagined in a custom design, this sapphire gains further presence when paired with complementary gems that either accentuate its color play or provide elegant contrast. A halo of small brilliant cut white diamonds will lift the eye and increase perceived size while amplifying sparkle, creating a classic setting that highlights the sapphire s bi color effect. For a warm, vintage inspired look, a rose gold mount combined with soft pink sapphires or morganite side stones will harmonize with any peachy or pink tones in the parti color, producing a tonal gradient that reads as intentionally subtle and feminine. For dramatic contrast, pair the oval with vivid green tsavorite garnets or emerald accents, the cool green against the sapphire s intense hues will produce a lively complementary palette ideal for a cocktail ring or pendant. Platinum or white gold settings emphasize the cooler facets and give a modern, crisp presentation that is particularly effective for three stone or bezel designs. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can advise on exact sizes and proportions to match the seven point three one by five point nine five millimeter face and the one point six two carat weight, ensuring that the finished custom piece showcases the stone s natural beauty, unmatched authenticity, and enduring value.
