1.34 Ct. White Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The exquisite 1.34 carat oval-shaped white star sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company stands as a testament to fine craftsmanship and discerning taste in gemstone selection. Unlike many sapphires available on the market, this particular gem boasts a masterful cabochon cut—a technique chosen to amplify its unique asterism. The star sapphire derives its name from the star-like phenomenon that dances across its surface, a quality that is accentuated to perfection through our meticulous cutting process. While other sapphires may simply catch the eye, our expertly shaped cabochon ensures that this star sapphire truly captures the imagination.

The captivating phenomenon of a star sapphire lies in its ability to reflect light in such a way that a clear, ethereal star appears when viewed under specific lighting conditions. This natural marvel is optimized by the cabochon cut, which is unique in comparison to the faceted cuts often seen in other gemstones. Our star sapphire’s cabochon cut is specifically designed to maximize its optical allure, ensuring a six-rayed star that is bold yet elegant. This is a feature not commonly found in more conventional sapphires, where the complexity of faceted cuts may diminish the nature-inspired charm of asterism. Thus, this star sapphire not only offers beauty but also serves as a rare spectacle of nature's wonders.

Beyond aesthetics, this star sapphire distinguishes itself from ordinary gemstones through its origins and quality of finish. Mined from the renowned mines of Ceylon or Sri Lanka, this sapphire hails from a region that has produced some of the world's most celebrated sapphires. The provenance of Ceylon sapphires is synonymous with quality, lending this particular gem an esteemed place within the sapphire hierarchy—a pedigree that further elevates its value. The finishing touch of an excellent polish achieves a mirror-like surface that enhances its luminosity and brings out the best visual qualities inherent in the stone. At The Natural Sapphire Company, this high standard of polish is not just a preference but a promise to our valued customers who seek extraordinary treasure.

In today’s vast gemstone market where choices can be overwhelming, the decision to invest in a star sapphire such as this one becomes clear when considering the composite of its qualities—exceptional cut, renowned origin and unmatched finish. Its slightly included clarity, while noted, does not overshadow its beauty but adds to its unique character, offering what many call a natural fingerprint. These subtleties are what make The Natural Sapphire Company's 1.34 carat white star sapphire a true standout among others. It provides not just an acquisition of a gem but a journey through the splendor of art and nature combined, assuring its owner a lifetime of elegance and conversation.
