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

This 1.74 carat round parti sapphire carries with it the quiet dignity of centuries of gem lore, echoing the storied mines of Ceylon where Sri Lankan sapphires were prized by kings and valued by travelers along ancient trade routes. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate that lineage, offering this transparent bi-color sapphire as a continuation of a timeless tradition. Its round shape and mixed brilliant cut recall the classic cuts that have adorned heirloom jewelry for generations, delivering a balance of fire and scintillation that complements historical design languages as readily as contemporary ones. The stone’s origin in Ceylon, paired with the assurance of no enhancement, places it in a lineage of natural gemstones revered for their authenticity. With excellent polish and a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this sapphire embodies the kind of enduring beauty collectors and families pass down, a jewel whose provenance and natural character deepen with every story it witnesses.

Measured at 6.55 by 6.51 by 5.19 millimeters, this parti sapphire’s mixed brilliant faceting maximizes its medium color intensity and allows its bi-color nature to reveal itself with movement. Depending on the angle, a delicate primary hue shifts and plays against a softer secondary tone, creating a subtle twofold personality that will stand out in any jewelry setting. In a warm yellow gold bezel the contrast will emphasize the sapphire’s inner glow, while a platinum or white gold prong setting will amplify its brilliance and present its cool nuances with crisp clarity. As a solitaire, it projects a quiet authority; set amid a halo, it becomes a focal point of classic elegance; incorporated into a vintage-inspired design, it resonates with historical charm. The absence of enhancement assures collectors that the color and character are wholly natural, making this sapphire not only an object of immediate beauty but a lasting legacy. For those who value tradition, provenance, and the soft drama of a parti sapphire, this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company is an invitation to own a piece of gemstone history that will continue to make a statement for generations.
