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

The Natural Sapphire Company takes great pride in presenting a truly exquisite gemstone: a 1.77 carat white star sapphire that embodies centuries of geological history and artisan craftsmanship. This gemstone is distinguished by its round shape and captivating dimensions of 7.06 x 6.81 x 3.50 mm, making it a substantial piece ideal for a cherished heirloom. At the heart of its allure is its cabochon cut. This cut has been expertly chosen to highlight the mesmerizing asterism—a star-like phenomenon displayed under light that gives star sapphires their name. This precise work ensures that the star is beautifully and distinctly centered, thus enhancing the visual appeal and the timeless charm of the stone.

The clarity grade of this star sapphire is very slightly included, an impressive evaluation carried out at eye level. This clarity ensures that the stone is predominantly free of visible inclusions, allowing for an uninterrupted viewing of its serene inner world. As a result, the viewer is afforded an experience of remarkable transparency and purity, attributes highly sought after by gemstone connoisseurs. With its colorless color intensity, this sapphire presents a remarkably pure and neutral palette. The absence of color allows the star to be the focal point, dancing on the surface in a harmonious balance of light and shadow, a testament to the stone's extraordinary optical properties and the skill of the craftsmen who worked on it.

Originating from Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, this star sapphire hails from a location renowned for producing some of the world's most exquisite gemstones.

The historical significance and geographic origin of this sapphire infuse it with a unique story, one that offers depth and context to the gemstone's journey from the heart of the earth to its arrival at The Natural Sapphire Company. Our commitment to sourcing from such distinguished locations is integral to the promise of exceptional quality and authenticity that each gemstone carries.

The craftsmanship of this gem is further exemplified by its excellent polish. Achieving such a fine polish on a cabochon cut requires an intricate level of skill and attention to detail. The smooth, lustrous surface reflects light with an elegant sheen, underscoring both the skill of the gem cutter and the innate beauty of the sapphire itself. This level of craftsmanship not only enhances the aesthetic value of the gemstone but also speaks to its durability, making this star sapphire an ideal candidate for a family heirloom that can be passed down through generations.
