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

This 1.63 carat emerald cut bi color sapphire from Ceylon is a striking study in natural contrast, with measurements of 6.54 by 5.91 by 3.79 mm, a transparent body, and a medium intense color intensity that presents a clear division between a warm golden yellow and a saturated blue. The emerald cut gives long, elegant facets that emphasize the stone's crisp color zoning, and the excellent polish maximizes brilliance while the clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level keeps the appearance clean and vivid. Unlike heated sapphires that often homogenize color, this no enhancement Ceylon gem offers an honest and lively palette, and that natural presentation distinguishes it on the market. When you compare its hue and tone to classic Kashmir sapphires, the difference is immediate, Kashmir stones are famed for deep, velvety cornflower blues with a plush tone, while this bi color Ceylon piece balances a brighter, more Mediterranean blue against a clear, sunny yellow, creating contrast that Kashmir rarely displays. Compared to Sri Lankan single tone cornflower blues, this gem adds the drama of two distinct hues, giving it a versatility that single tone stones do not provide.

In comparison to other famous origins, Madagascar sapphires often show intense pure blues and bright pinks, and Madagascar parti sapphires can echo the duality seen here, but the Ceylon origin tends to offer a lighter, more crystalline tone that reads as more lively under varied lighting. Australian sapphires are typically darker and inky, and Montana sapphires often lean toward soft, pastel tones, so this medium intense bi color stone sits in a desirable middle ground that combines punch with clarity. For collectors and designers looking for value and uniqueness, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company outperforms many alternatives, because it is unheated, well cut, and eye appealing at 1.63 carats. Its bi color nature is rare enough to command attention, yet its medium intense tone keeps it wearable and adaptable. Set in a simple bezel or a refined solitaire with delicate side stones, the emerald cut will emphasize the horizontal split of color and create a modern, elegant look. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as an outstanding choice for someone seeking a naturally spirited, transparent, and beautifully finished sapphire that stands apart from the usual single hue offerings on the market.
