5.52 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Grey Star Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pair of translucent grey star sapphires presents refined asterism and precise workmanship. The stones weigh 2.73 carats and 2.79 carats respectively, and their oval shapes measure 8.25 by 7.11 by 4.94 millimeters and 8.29 by 7.14 by 4.74 millimeters. Both are cabochon cut with a clean domed profile and an excellent polish, producing a conspicuous six rayed star under direct lighting. Clarity is graded as very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and color intensity is described as medium light, yielding a cool, neutral grey tone with good translucency. No enhancement has been applied, and the pair is sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, an origin noted for producing classic and naturally asteriated sapphires.

The close matching in weight, dimensions, shape, and asterism makes this pair well suited for matched jewelry applications such as a pair of stud earrings or paired set elements, where symmetry and consistency are important. The cabochon heights of 4.94 millimeters and 4.74 millimeters offer sufficient depth to display strong star effect while allowing for secure bezel or half bezel settings that protect the domed surfaces. Given the very slightly included clarity at eye level, inclusions are not visually disruptive and generally do not detract from the star phenomenon, though they may influence faceting and setting decisions for those seeking maximum durability. The natural, untreated character and Sri Lankan provenance add gemological interest and traceability.
