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

One beautiful transparent 1.17 carat emerald cut bi color parti sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, a gem that speaks to centuries of reverence and the quiet dignity of heirloom jewels. The emerald cut measures 7.55 x 4.90 x 2.67 mm and is faceted to emphasize clean lines and broad planes of color, with a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, an excellent polish, and no enhancement. This sapphire carries the long lineage of Ceylon stones that have been prized by kings and collectors for their vivid hues and enduring beauty, and its parti nature offers an intimate dialogue between tones as light travels through the pavilion and across the table. Where classical sapphires are celebrated for their depth and consistency of color, this bi color example offers a storied contrast, a living landscape of shade and light that makes each viewing an act of discovery.

In comparison to other gemstones in its category this Ceylon sapphire displays a distinct kind of reflective character, owing to corundum chemistry and masterful cutting. Its refractive properties lend a strong, satiny luster that outshines many common gem species such as quartz, and it offers crisper internal reflections than spinel and topaz which tend to deliver softer, more diffuse flashes. Compared with single tone sapphires this parti stone reflects light in shifting bands of color rather than uniform glints, and the emerald cut transforms those bands into elegant linear highlights and broad flashes rather than small scintillation. The excellent polish enhances this response, creating mirror like facets that celebrate the gem s classical restraint. For the collector or the lover of tradition this no enhancement Ceylon sapphire represents a rare harmony of history and optical refinement, a gem that will wear like a legacy and age with the same gracious composure that has defined fine jewels for generations.
