The mixed brilliant cut of this gem is an artful marriage of old world charm and modern facet architecture, chosen to maximize both fire and depth of color. The cut blends a faceted pavilion designed for optimal light return with a brilliant crown that scatters light into lively flashes, producing scintillation that animates the stone with each movement. The careful balance of table size and pavilion angles in this heart shape intensifies the pinkish purple hue, while the excellent polish allows light to glide across the surface without obstruction. Evaluated as eye clean at eye level, the clarity preserves an unobstructed view into the heart of the sapphire, enabling the cut to perform at its fullest. Heat treatment has been applied to gently enhance the tone and saturation, a respectful and widely accepted practice that reveals the stones most arresting color and complements its natural Ceylon origin.
