17.80 Ct. Bi Color Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite bi-color sapphire from Ceylon is a truly captivating gemstone. Weighing in at 17.80 carats, it is designed in a classic round shape with dimensions of 16.30 x 15.89 x 6.77 mm. The gemstone features a double cabochon cut, which accentuates its beauty and enhances the visual appeal of its distinct colors. The clarity grade is assessed as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, ensuring that the inherent allure of the sapphire remains unobscured while still maintaining natural characteristics.

The bi-color quality of this sapphire gently showcases a blend of hues that exemplify the artistry of nature. Its medium color intensity evokes images of serene tranquility. When compared to the famed sapphires of locations such as Kashmir and Madagascar, the Ceylon origin of this gemstone translates into a uniquely soothing palette. Kashmir sapphires are renowned for their vivid, velvety blues while Madagascar counterparts often display bright, lively tints. In contrast, this Ceylon bi-color sapphire presents an understated elegance with its softer tonal quality that mirrors the idyllic landscapes of its homeland.

Additionally, the craftsmanship invested in this gemstone is demonstrated by its excellent polish. This ensures that when the light interacts with the smooth surface of the sapphire, it does so with optimal reflection and brilliance. The double cabochon cut further contributes to this effect, allowing light to dance gently across the rounded surface and enhance its colors. This technique not only highlights the intrinsic beauty of the stone but also pays homage to traditional gem-cutting practices with a modern refinement.
