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

One beautiful transparent 1.91 carat pear shape bi color parti sapphire is presented with precise dimensions of 9.69 by 5.72 by 4.74 mm, faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that skillfully balances scintillation and color, untreated and originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The pear outline is elegant and elongated, lending itself to a variety of settings from solitaire pendants to classic drop earrings, while the 1.91 carat weight sits in a desirable range for both collectors and bespoke commissions. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with carefully arranged pavilion facets, producing a lively play of light that is particularly effective in a pear shape. The excellent polish enhances facet definition and edge crispness, allowing each plane to act as an efficient reflector for white light and for the delicate hues inherent in a bi color parti sapphire. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a natural, unenhanced example of Sri Lankan gemology, with visual characteristics that reflect its primary attributes and origin.

The clarity grade for this sapphire is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means that inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the overall transparency or brilliance when viewed without magnification. Very slightly included material is prized in colored gemstones because it often allows for maximum light transmission while still retaining natural internal features that confirm authenticity. These minor inclusions can act as internal fingerprint like indicators of origin, and for the educated buyer they are a positive sign of a natural, untreated stone. The mixed brilliant cutting style amplifies the apparent clarity by dispersing and redirecting light through a controlled arrangement of facets, and the excellent polish ensures that the surface structure does not introduce distracting reflections or haziness. When set, the pear shape and facet configuration will channel light from the crown through the pavilion and back to the eye, producing a balanced combination of sparkle and tonal depth, even with a light color intensity.

Color is the defining characteristic for a bi color parti sapphire, and this example displays a subtle, light color intensity that emphasizes its parti nature rather than overpowering saturation. The parti effect in sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka can range from soft pastel blues and greens to delicate grayed tones, and this gem exhibits a refined blend that responds to viewing angle and lighting conditions. Ceylon is renowned for producing sapphires with a distinct, luminous clarity and a tendency toward lighter, more ethereal blues, and the provenance of this stone contributes to its desirability for connoisseurs who value geographic typicity. Light color intensity means that the hue is present without heavy saturation, offering versatility in design, and the bi color distribution creates dynamic visual interest as the stone is moved. For collectors who appreciate natural variation and individuality, an untreated, bi color parti sapphire with documented Ceylon origin represents a compelling combination of rarity and aesthetic appeal.

For an educated buyer considering investment and wearable beauty, this 1.91 carat pear shape bi color parti sapphire offers several compelling attributes, including natural origin, absence of enhancement, finely executed mixed brilliant cut, and an excellent polish. These factors together underpin both immediate desirability and longer term value retention, because untreated stones from recognized sources carry a premium in the marketplace. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide detailed provenance information and can arrange gemological reporting on request, offering transparency and confidence in the stone. Recommended settings include light enhancing designs that allow the crown and pavilion to catch ambient light, such as open bezel or prong settings, which will showcase the parti color shifts and the stone fluidity. Care for this sapphire is straightforward, given sapphire hardness and durability, with routine cleaning in warm soapy water and a soft brush, while avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and consulting our specialists for any intensive cleaning methods. This sapphire is well suited to a discriminating buyer seeking both a beautiful wearable gem and a sound example of natural Ceylon material, presented with the expertise and provenance support of The Natural Sapphire Company.
