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

This exquisite transparent 1.02 carat round bi color parti sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company sets itself apart from common market offerings by combining precise cutting, superior clarity, and lively color play in one gem. Measuring 5.96 x 5.94 x 3.86 mm, this faceted, mixed brilliant cut stone is finished with an excellent polish that creates mirror sharp facet junctions and a crisp table plane. The mixed brilliant cutting style maximizes light return, giving the sapphire a lively, scintillating presence that many standard cuts fail to achieve. Unlike stones with heavy zoning, cloudiness, or poor symmetry, this sapphire shows intense color intensity across its surface, with the parti color shifting subtly as the gem moves, adding visual interest without sacrificing depth. The clarity grade is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, meaning that the tiny inclusions do not impede transparency or sparkle, and they are easily overlooked when set into jewelry or when admired loose.

Compared to other sapphires on the market that may be darker, less transparent, heavily included, or of imprecise cutting, this Ceylon Sri Lanka origin sapphire offers superior value and aesthetic appeal. Many commercially sold sapphires compromise on polish or clarity to hit a price point, or they present uneven color or poor light performance. This sapphire, heat treated to enhance hue and stability, maintains a natural, vivid appearance that rivals higher priced stones while remaining an intelligent investment for custom pieces. The combination of a very clean eye level appearance and excellent polish means brilliance and color saturation are visible from every angle, the crown facets sing under light, and the pavilion reflects a deep, lively heart color. For customers comparing options, the provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka signals classic, desirable character and consistent quality, while The Natural Sapphire Company provides the assurance of careful selection and transparent grading. Whether mounted in a delicate ring, a pendant, or bespoke settings, this 1.02 carat bi color parti sapphire stands out for its optical performance, its rarity of balanced parti coloring, and its refined finishing, making it a superior choice for buyers seeking both beauty and long term value.
