1.05 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The offerings from The Natural Sapphire Company exemplify the extraordinary craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail required in the creation of fine gemstones. This exquisite 1.05 carat round white sapphire, originating from the fabled gem-rich region of Ceylon, serves as a stunning testament to the artistry and skill of gem cutting. Occupying dimensions of 6.38 x 6.41 x 3.84 mm, this sapphire is distinguished by its mixed brilliant cut, a particular method that combines elements of both the brilliant and step cuts. This technique is selected to enhance the gemstone's unique optical properties, achieving unparalleled light return and engaging visual phenomena.

The mixed brilliant cut utilized in this white sapphire is notably effective in maximizing the inherent properties of light reflection native to the gemstone. This method involves precise and strategically planned faceting styles that work in harmony to return most of the entering light back to the viewer's eye, a process scientifically validated. The brilliant nature of this cut primarily involves the upper portion of the gemstone, or the crown, consisting of triangular and kite-shaped facets that exploit the initial entry of light. Meanwhile, the pavilion, or lower section, takes advantage of step-cut facets which are fashioned parallel to the girdle, optimizing the refraction and internal reflection before the light exits the crown.

Evaluating the clarity of this gemstone reveals a grade of very slightly included at eye level, indicating the presence of negligible inclusions that do not interrupt the gem's overall transparency or brilliance. This clarity attribute, in combination with the mixed brilliant cut, ensures that light can pass through the sapphire with minimal interruption, preserving the integrity and purity of its radiant spectral display. Moreover, the high standard of the polish enhances its reflective abilities, allowing each facet to act as a mirror, contributing collectively to the remarkable sparkle and purity this sapphire presents.

This sapphire’s color grading, identified as colorless with an intense purity, further augments its ability to reflect light in its true form. It has an optimal balance for buyers who prefer a gemstone that delivers brilliance without any color distraction. The technical expertise involved in its creation results in a stone that exceeds the aesthetic limitations typical of other white sapphires. As a centerpiece or an integral component of high jewelry, the characteristics facilitated by the mixed brilliant cut distinguish this gemstone as a peerless example of craftsmanship, promising to captivate those who possess a discerning eye for premium jewels. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer such masterpieces that speak volumes of their dedication to quality and detail.
