At a glance, the sapphire's dimensions, 5.24 x 5.27 x 3.26 mm, suggest a compact elegance that belies the depth of its brilliance. Unlike the more commonly encountered gemstones, this sapphire possesses a mixed brilliant cut, meticulously designed to enhance the inherent sparkle of the stone. The cut features a combination of step-cut facets on the pavilion and brilliant-cut facets on the crown. This unique faceting enables the sapphire to capture light from all angles, creating an enchanting play of reflections that surpasses the brilliance of traditional gemstones like rubies or garnets.

The sapphire's clarity grade of very slightly included indicates that it has minimal inclusions, which are hardly visible to the naked eye. This clarity enhances the gemstone's transparency, allowing light to pass through with minimal interruption and contributing to its overall radiance. Furthermore, the medium intense color intensity of this sapphire offers a refined yet vivid hue that stands out among more common gemstones. The balance between its deep yet lively purple tone and the sapphire's polished surface results in a gemstone of remarkable allure.
