At 6.91 by 5.09 by 3.24 mm it offers graceful proportions, a radiant shape that balances presence and refinement, and an intense golden hue that reaches out with warmth and joy. From its origins in Ceylon Sri Lanka this gem carries an island story in its color and clarity, and its excellent polish lets every facet catch light like a promise kept. When you look at this sapphire you see more than a gem, you see a moment waiting to be made permanent, a memory that will glow every time it catches the eye.

Weight matters in gemstones because each tenth of a carat shifts perception and rarity, and this 0.97 carat sapphire sits in a rare sweet spot where practicality meets prestige. The value of a sapphire is shaped by weight, color, clarity and cut, and a stone close to one carat draws attention from collectors and designers because it offers the impact of a larger gem without the compromise of bulk. In everyday wear this weight carries beautifully, offering a secure presence on a ring or pendant, while the radiant cut maximizes the visual spread so it appears generous on the hand. The clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone remains brilliantly transparent and lively, with inclusions that do not interfere with its luminous performance. This combination of near one carat weight, intense color, very slightly included clarity, and excellent polish creates a balance of rarity and wearability that is sought after by those who treasure both beauty and value.

There is a special kind of joy in knowing the origins and treatments of a gem, and we honor that by sharing that this sapphire has been beryllium diffused, a respected enhancement that intensifies its golden personality while maintaining stability for everyday wear. Beryllium diffusion is disclosed because trust is part of the relationship you build with your gemstone, and because the story of a gem includes both its natural birth in the earth and the human care that brings out its best. The intense color intensity of this stone is evocative of warm sunlight on a late afternoon, it carries the optimism of dawn and the promise of celebration. Mounted in a simple setting this sapphire will speak of quiet elegance, mounted in an ornate setting it will command attention with joyful vibrancy, and set as a gift it will become a symbol of affection that has both depth and sparkle. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in connecting you with gems that carry provenance, character and the potential to become family treasures.
