This transparent, well proportioned 1.80 carat round shape yellowish green sapphire measures 7.29 by 7.32 by 4.86 mm, and has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to marry scintillation with depth of color. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity grade is very slightly included, which allows the stone to remain clean to the sight while retaining the character that makes natural gems so compelling. The color intensity is described as intense, a bold and saturated yellowish green that projects confidence and individuality. Excellent polish enhances the gem plane to plane, permitting light to pass and return with lively fire and crisp reflection. This sapphire has been carefully heat treated, a traditional and accepted enhancement practiced for centuries to reveal the truest expression of hue while maintaining the integrity of the material. The combination of Ceylon origin, thoughtful cutting, and meticulous finishing gives this stone an unforced brilliance and a presence that reads as both luxurious and authentic.
