Is this sapphire heated?
Yes. This sapphire has undergone traditional heat treatment, a standard practice in the gemstone industry that enhances colour and clarity. Heat treatment is disclosed on the AGCL certificate.
Where does this blue sapphire come from?
This sapphire is from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), one of the world's most respected sapphire sources. Ceylon blue sapphires are prized for their balanced colour saturation and excellent light performance.
Is 0.79 carats too small for a ring?
Not at all. The oval cut maximises face-up coverage, so this 5.98 x 4.46 mm stone appears larger than its carat weight suggests. It is well-suited for solitaire rings, halo settings, or as a centre stone flanked by accent diamonds.
