9.28 Ct. Color Change Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The showcased gemstone is a remarkable 9.28-carat cushion-shaped color change sapphire with an impressive degree of eye appeal. Carefully crafted with precision by master gem cutters, it features a mixed brilliant cut that optimizes the play of light within its crystalline structure. The dimensions of the sapphire, measuring 12.59 x 10.52 x 7.44 mm, are meticulously proportioned to enhance both its visual impact and intrinsic brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut is a combination of step cuts on the pavilion and brilliant cuts on the crown, which together work harmoniously to maximize shimmer and light dispersion. This particular cutting style enhances the internal reflection, allowing an uninterrupted flow of light that results in a distinctive sparkle unrivaled by other gemstones.

The color change phenomenon displayed by this sapphire is another defining characteristic, setting it apart within the realm of colored gemstones. Displaying dark color intensity, this gem captivates onlookers with its ability to exhibit different colors under varying lighting conditions. In fluorescent lighting, the sapphire appears a rich blue, while incandescent light evokes shades of violet. Such dynamic color changes occur due to the presence of trace elements within the crystal lattice, interacting with light to produce different hues. The consistency of its dark color intensity ensures a captivating visual experience, regardless of the environment, further accentuating its desirability to discerning collectors.

This eye-clean sapphire has been evaluated at eye level for its clarity grade, ensuring that the gemstone is free from inclusions visible without magnification.
