The featured gemstone is a stunning transparent 0.36-carat Asscher-cut sapphire with a distinctive yellowish brown hue. This exquisite sapphire, characterized by its precise octagon shape, measures 4.05 x 4.05 x 2.65 mm, a testament to its refined dimensions and appealing geometry. The Asscher cut, with its step-cut pavilion and high crown, is expertly executed to amplify the gem's internal brilliance. This choice of cut not only enhances the overall scintillation but also allows the viewer to appreciate the intricate linear patterns that are inherent to this design. Known for its perfect symmetry and deep angles, the Asscher cut reveals an extraordinary depth and clarity, making this gemstone an excellent choice for those with a discerning eye for precision and detail.
The clarity of this sapphire is graded as very slightly included, evaluated meticulously at eye level. These inclusions, while minimal, add a natural charm unique to gemstones. The light color intensity of the sapphire's yellowish brown tone sits at the intersection of subtlety and sophistication, capturing the essence of a warm autumnal palette. This specific color intensity provides a versatile appeal, set to complement both white metal settings and colored ones. When compared to gemstones from other renowned locations, such as the rich blues of Kashmir sapphires or the vibrant hues from Madagascar, the Ceylon sapphire stands out for its more subdued yet equally captivating color profile.
The impeccable polish on this sapphire testifies to the expertise and craftsmanship behind its creation, ensuring a surface that maximizes brilliance by minimizing light scatter. The origin of this gemstone, Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, is legendary in the realm of high-quality sapphires. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated not just for their beauty but also for the historical significance associated with their mining practices, rooted in centuries of artisanal skills. The Natural Sapphire Company, with its dedication to offering only the finest gemstones, proudly includes this outstanding Ceylon sapphire in our curated collection. Each gem is chosen with care, ensuring that it meets the standards of excellence that our clients have come to expect.
