2.13 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Bluish Green Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This matched pair from The Natural Sapphire Company comprises two transparent, round bluish green sapphires weighing 1.03 carats and 1.10 carats respectively, with precise dimensions of 5.98 by 5.99 by 3.51 millimeters and 6.00 by 5.95 by 3.54 millimeters. Both are executed in a mixed brilliant cut, finished to an excellent polish, and graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The color intensity is described as dark, and importantly these sapphires are natural and unenhanced, originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. These factual specifications are central to the gemological profile, and together they define the stones as a matched pair ideal for elegant stud earrings or a balanced pair for bespoke jewelry, where visual harmony and technical consistency are priorities for an educated buyer.

From a cutting and optics perspective these sapphires exhibit near flawless symmetry, and that symmetry is a key contributor to their superior visual appeal. The average diameters of approximately 5.99 and 5.98 millimeters and the closely matched depths of 3.51 and 3.54 millimeters produce depth percentages of approximately 58.7 percent and 59.2 percent respectively, proportions that fall within the optimal range for mixed brilliant cuts intended to maximize both color saturation and light return. Mixed brilliant cutting combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a modified pavilion, a design choice that preserves scintillation while reducing the possibility of windowing in darker stones. When the symmetry of facet placement, table centering, and pavilion alignment is executed to near perfection, light is reflected and refracted in a balanced manner across the whole table and crown, yielding even color distribution, consistent brilliance, and a steady play of facets that do not produce dead zones or uneven flashes. For a matched pair intended to be seen side by side, the flawless symmetry means each stone presents the same visual weight, sparkle pattern, and color response to ambient light, which is essential for high quality matched earrings or paired settings.

Beyond cut and symmetry, the material properties and provenance further reinforce the value proposition for an informed purchaser. The clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level indicates that these sapphires are effectively eye clean, with only minute internal features detectable under magnification that do not impinge on durability or light performance. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a mirror-like finish on each facet plane, which enhances luster and allows the dark bluish green tone to appear rich and saturated rather than dull. Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is a historically important source for corundum, known for producing sapphires with lively tonal variations and a velvety, appealing saturation that differs from other localities, and provenance from Ceylon is recognized and valued in the market for its consistent supply of fine material. The fact that these sapphires are unenhanced is particularly significant to collectors and connoisseurs, as untreated stones command a premium for rarity and for the assurance that their color and clarity are entirely natural. Corundum’s hardness and toughness make these stones well suited for everyday wear, and their matched dimensions and excellent symmetry simplify the setter’s task, facilitating secure settings in 14 karat or 18 karat white, yellow, or platinum metals to best complement the bluish green hue. At The Natural Sapphire Company we stand behind the gemological assessment of these stones, and we can provide guidance on settings, mounting styles, and any documentation desired to accompany the purchase, ensuring that the combination of precise proportions, eye clean clarity, excellent polish, natural Ceylon origin, and flawless symmetry offers an investment in both beauty and enduring value.
