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

One beautiful translucent 1.40 carat round bicolor parti star sapphire, measuring 7.28 by 6.79 by 2.92 millimeters, presents a rare and poetic interplay of warm golden honey and soft lavender tones, with a well defined six ray asterism that shimmers across its cabochon dome. The cutting style is cabochon, clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, color intensity is medium, and the polish is excellent. This sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, and its Ceylon origin from Sri Lanka contributes to the gem quality and lustrous character. The stone’s translucency allows the star to glide gently beneath the surface, creating a wearable focal point that reads as both intimate and distinctive, ideal for someone who seeks a meaningful center gem or a rare collector’s treasure.

When compared to sapphires from other famous locations, this Ceylon bicolor parti star sapphire stands apart in tone and mood. Kashmir sapphires are known for their deep, velvety, intensely saturated cornflower blue, a richness that is more dramatic than the softer, airier medium tone of this star. Madagascar parti sapphires often deliver bold, high contrast zoning and vivid saturation, while this Sri Lankan example favors subtlety and a gentle gradient between gold and lavender that feels more refined and wearable. Australian sapphires tend toward darker, inky greens and blues, a weightier presentation that contrasts with the luminous warmth of this gem. Montana sapphires bring cool, clear teal and green notes that read as fresh and crisp, unlike the warm lavender influence here. The result is a star sapphire that carries the hallmark clarity and brightness associated with Ceylon material, yet offers a uniquely romantic bicolor personality that is uncommon even among other world sources.

If you are searching for the perfect engagement center stone with personality, or a rare untreated star sapphire to add to a curated collection, this gem answers that need with confidence. Its medium color intensity and excellent polish make it equally suited to delicate, vintage inspired settings and bold, contemporary designs, and its untreated Ceylon origin assures a natural story that collectors value.
