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

One beautiful transparent 1.49 carat emerald cut shape bi color parti sapphire awaits a collector who appreciates true rarity, with dimensions of 7.10 x 5.46 x 3.90 mm, a faceted cutting style that showcases a classic emerald cut profile, and an origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka that carries the legacy of some of the worlds most celebrated sapphires. This gem is transparent and displays medium color intensity, with a color interplay that moves between cool blue and warm yellow tones, creating a subtle and sophisticated parti color effect that shifts with each change in light and angle. The clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a mark of natural character that does not detract from the stone presence, and the excellent polish ensures each facet reflects light with crispness and depth. Importantly, this sapphire carries no enhancement, offering the untouched beauty of a natural gem, a rarity in itself and a cornerstone of provenance for discerning clients of The Natural Sapphire Company.

The emerald cut shape and the exact proportions of this 1.49 carat sapphire make it an ideal choice for custom jewelry, offering designers and clients a superb canvas for creativity. At 7.10 mm by 5.46 mm with a depth of 3.90 mm, the table and step facets present a broad, elegant face that allows the bi color nature to be read clearly, while the depth provides secure girdle thickness and proportion that facilitates bezel settings, prong mounts, and more modern bespoke designs without sacrificing stability. Emerald cut sapphires lend themselves to architectural settings, a halo of diamonds, or understated bezel frames that emphasize the clean lines and refined faceting. For an engagement ring centerpiece, this size projects a strong presence on the finger without overwhelming daily wearability. For a pendant, the rectangular silhouette sits gracefully against the neckline, catching light like a window to the gem interior. For a pair of bespoke earrings, the uniformity of an emerald cut offers symmetry and balance, and the faceted step cut ensures color zoning is revealed in a controlled and elegant manner, allowing the interplay of blue and yellow to be integrated into the overall design language.

Owning a truly unique natural sapphire like this one places the buyer in an exclusive circle, and The Natural Sapphire Company takes pride in presenting such singular pieces to clients who seek individuality and provenance. This is not a mass produced stone, it is a one of one example of a bi color sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka with no enhancement, offered for custom creation in limited quantity because gemstones of this specific character are seldom available. Commissioning a piece around this sapphire becomes a bespoke experience, where the stone dictates the design, and where metal selection, accent stones, and mounting techniques are chosen to elevate the color interplay and the emerald cut geometry. Imagine a custom setting where carefully selected melee diamonds are arranged to mirror the step facets, or a tailored gold frame that warms the yellow flash while a platinum head enhances the blue gleam, all conceived to emphasize the gem individuality. The natural clarity, described as very slightly included at eye level, provides authenticity and an organic fingerprint that collectors value, adding to the narrative and the rarity of ownership.

For clients and designers seeking inspiration, consider pairing this sapphire with yellow gold to amplify the warm tones, or with white metals to focus the eye on the cool blue side of the parti color, or embrace a mixed metal design that deliberately plays both tones against each other. The 1.49 carat weight and emerald cut proportions are particularly forgiving when integrating side stones or creating three stone compositions, and they lend themselves to bespoke rings, pendants, and cuff links designed for those who desire a singular statement. Care for the sapphire is straightforward and consistent with fine gemstone stewardship, gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush is advisable, and secure setting choices such as invisible settings are best avoided for step cut stones where a bezel or four prong design will protect the girdle and highlight the elegant profile. If you wish to proceed, The Natural Sapphire Company offers personalized consultations to tailor the design, select complementary accent stones and metals, and oversee the finished piece to your exacting standards, ensuring that when this emerald cut bi color parti sapphire is set, it will stand as an unmistakable exemplar of bespoke gem artistry.
