0.85 Ct. Bi Color / Parti Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a jewel that captures a memory of sunrise and sea, something that feels both rare and intimately yours. This is a transparent 0.85 carat oval bi color parti sapphire, measured at 6.42 by 4.90 by 3.23 millimeters, cut in a faceted, mixed brilliant style that dances with light. The color shows a delicate balance, a medium intensity that shifts gently between golden yellow and soft blue green, a natural duet that invites second glances. Clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which gives the stone character without interrupting its luminous window of color, and the polish is excellent, allowing every facet to sing. This sapphire is heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that deepens and clarifies the colors while respecting the stone's natural spirit, and it hails from the storied gem lands of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where sapphires have inspired love and legend for centuries. When you look at this gem you do not just see a mineral, you see a moment captured, a soft warmth that could become part of a story you tell for decades.

Pairing this parti sapphire in a custom piece creates a visual and emotional harmony that feels like music. Set the oval as the heart of a ring or pendant and surround it with small natural blue sapphires to echo the cooler tones at one end of the stone, creating a natural gradient that feels like a horizon line moving through light. Tiny yellow diamonds or warm champagne colored sapphires on the opposite side will amplify the golden facets, creating contrast and balance that makes the center stone glow with life. For a vintage inspired piece, imagine a halo of old mine cut diamonds with faint warmth, their soft scintillation emphasizing the mixed brilliant cut of the center stone, while slender baguette sapphires along the shoulders draw the eye outward in an elegant sweep. For a modern design, picture two tapered kite shaped emeralds or tsavorite garnets flanking the sides, their vivid green setting off the parti nature and adding fresh, joyful energy. In every setting the oval shape and mixed brilliant cutting promise a dynamic play of light, so the gem will seem to change expression as you move, a living emblem of a day remembered or a promise kept.

Choosing a piece from The Natural Sapphire Company means acquiring more than a beautiful stone, it means receiving a jewel crafted with knowledge, heart, and respect for origin. Our gem specialists can help you imagine custom metal choices that enhance the sapphire, warm yellow gold to bring out golden notes, white gold or platinum to emphasize the cool blues, or a subtle two tone mount that mirrors the gem itself. We will discuss proportions so that the 0.85 carat oval sits perfectly on the finger or at the throat, we will advise on accent stones that will highlight rather than compete, and we will ensure the setting protects the stone while allowing light to travel through its facets. A commission from us is an invitation to create a memory, a family heirloom, or a daily spark of joy, something you will reach for on mornings of triumph and evenings of quiet celebration. Let this Ceylon parti sapphire become the color that marks a milestone, the glint that returns a smile, the small treasure that grows more beloved with every passing year.
