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

From the moment this gem left the earth it carried the warmth of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that journey by telling its story from mine to masterpiece. Formed over millions of years in a sapphire rich seam, this transparent 0.95 carat round shape bi color parti sapphire measures 6.05 x 6.07 x 3.57 mm, and was selected for its rare dual personality. Skilled hands gave it a faceted mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth, with an excellent polish that lets the surface sing. The stone carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an intense color intensity that shifts between deep blue and green gold in certain angles, heat treated to enhance stability and clarity. As with all pieces that pass through our doors, the story of its origin and its careful cutting is part of the value you hold, and the gem will reward thoughtful setting and design for a lifetime of wear.

Under different lights this bi color parti sapphire reveals its full narrative, and the way it shines becomes a conversation between the gem and its surroundings. In bright natural daylight the sapphire shows crisp blue cores with flashes of green gold at the crown facets, the mixed brilliant cut producing lively pinpoints of white sparkle across the table, while pleochroic zones reveal shifting hues as the stone turns. Under warm incandescent or candlelight the intensity softens into richer teals and deep blue, with the pavilion reflecting subtle golden faints that give a cozy glow. Under modern LED lighting the contrast sharpens, facets read with high contrast and the stone displays strong scintillation and a cooler blue bias, while fluorescent light can enhance the green gold undertones that make this parti stone so unique. Because of its excellent polish and very very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level, flashes remain clean and well defined, rather than muddied, and the mixed brilliant cut ensures a pleasing balance of fire and brilliance. This sapphire is ideal for a solitaire or accent setting that lets light play through its crown and back, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we stand ready to design a mount that celebrates both its origin and the way it comes to life in every light.
