1.08 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Owning this 1.08 carat round bicolor sapphire is an invitation to belong to a very small and discerning circle of collectors who appreciate rarity and refined provenance. This transparent gem measures 6.14 x 6.13 x 3.63 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize both scintillation and the stone s innate two tone drama. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, the surface reads clean to the eye while revealing character under closer inspection. The color shows a medium intense presence that moves between cool cornflower blues and softer, silvery lavenders as light and angle change, a visual subtlety that only a true bicolor sapphire can offer. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and disclosed as heat treated to enhance stability and color, this sapphire is the sort of rare, personal treasure that collectors seek when settling for nothing less than exceptional quality and storied origin.
