1.10 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Tanzania

This transparent 1.10 carat round bi color sapphire is an exceptional example of natural colored corundum, precisely measured at 6.07 by 6.07 by 3.81 millimeters, and expertly fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut. The mixed brilliant configuration combines a faceted crown designed for lively table brilliance with a finely faceted pavilion that optimizes return of light, yielding a lively, scintillating appearance in both direct and diffuse lighting. With an intense color intensity and a distinct bi color presentation, this stone displays compelling color zoning that adds visual complexity and rarity, qualities highly regarded by educated collectors. The clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are present but do not materially interfere with the gem's transparency or sparkle, a favorable trade off for such vivid natural color. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and strong light performance, and importantly this sapphire is supplied with no enhancement, confirming that its color and transparency are entirely natural and untreated, an attribute that significantly increases its value and appeal to discerning buyers. Origin is Tanzania, a source known for producing richly colored and characterful sapphires, and provenance from this region adds further interest and market desirability.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize how this stone's combination of size, color intensity, cut quality, and untreated origin makes it remarkably versatile for both casual and formal settings. Its 1.10 carat weight and round shape sit comfortably in everyday solitaire rings, subtle stud earrings, and classic pendants, while the intense bi color effect lends dramatic flair when used in cocktail rings and evening jewelry, ensuring it performs equally well under daylight and incandescent lighting. Sapphires are renowned for their durability, and with corundum hardness this gem is well suited to regular wear when properly set, which makes it a practical choice for customers seeking a jewel that combines everyday resilience with collector level attributes. For the educated buyer seeking transparency in gem grading, this sapphire offers documented clarity notes, exact dimensions, cut style, and a confirmed no enhancement status, all of which provide confidence in long term value.
