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

One beautiful transparent 1.43 carat round shape bi color sapphire takes center stage in this offering, a gem whose weight and presence announce itself with elegant authority, measuring 7.09 by 7.10 by 3.78 millimeters and fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut. From the moment light meets its facets, the stone reveals a gentle duality of tone, a whisper of cool blue and a hint of warm, pale gold, combined in a light color intensity that reads as refined and utterly sophisticated. The clarity is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, a rarity for stones that display such subtle color play, and the excellent polish ensures each facet returns light with a crisp, lively scintillation. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, a testament to nature and careful lapidary, and its origin in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, ties it to a storied heritage of some of the world’s most desirable sapphires, a provenance that elevates its allure for the informed collector.

Weight is the most immediate measure of a gem’s physical importance, and in sapphires one hundredth of a carat can, at times, mean a quantum leap in desirability, rarity, and value. At 1.43 carat this round sapphire occupies an exceptional position, large enough to command attention as a solitary center stone, yet intimate enough to retain an understated, personal elegance. The 1.43 carat weight gives the gem a presence on the hand that reads as accomplished taste, it provides a face up size and proportional depth that maximizes brilliance while preserving comfortable wearability. Collectors and connoisseurs understand that untreated sapphires of this weight, particularly those with a bi color character and eye clean clarity, are uncommon, and as such their market place value is amplified by both scarcity and provenance. When set in a bespoke ring or a refined pendant, this 1.43 carat sapphire will not merely be an accessory, it will be an emblem of distinction.

The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to heighten both sparkle and color separation, a sophisticated cut choice that allows the stone to balance scintillation with windowing, preserving the delicate bi color effect while maximizing light return. The dimensions of 7.09 by 7.10 by 3.78 millimeters translate into a beautifully proportioned round that sits gracefully on the finger, offering a generous face up appearance thanks to its careful depth, while maintaining strong light performance through the crown and pavilion. The light color intensity gives the sapphire a refined luminosity, an airy elegance that lends itself to both modern minimalist settings and intricate vintage inspired designs. Eye clean clarity at this weight is a feature that significantly enhances value, because it permits unobstructed appreciation of the sapphire’s internal color transitions and facet architecture, a quality further reinforced by the excellent polish that delivers crisp facet junctions and a surface free from luster interfering abrasions.

Owning a gem like this is an achievement, a reflection of refined taste and an appreciation for natural rarity that only a discerning collector truly understands, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present such a stone to clients who seek authenticity and provenance. Untreated Ceylon sapphires carry the whispered history of ancient deposits and skilled craftsmanship, and this particular 1.43 carat round bi color sapphire embodies that lineage while offering a contemporary elegance suitable for enduring jewelry. For the client who values the story behind the stone as much as its aesthetic, this sapphire offers both, a natural, no enhancement origin, exceptional polish, and a weight that secures its place in a collection or in a bespoke commission. Allow this sapphire to be the center of a unique creation, a personal herald of achievement, one that announces taste without ostentation, and one that will be cherished for generations.
