This 0.93ct Ceylon blue sapphire displays a prized cornflower blue hue with excellent light return through its oval mixed cut. Sourced from the gem-rich alluvial deposits of Sri Lanka, it carries the soft, even saturation that collectors associate with the finest Ceylon blues.
At under one carat, this stone offers an accessible entry into certified Ceylon sapphires without compromising on colour quality. The oval shape maximises face-up coverage, making it appear larger than its carat weight suggests.
Origin & Certification

The stone has been enhanced through traditional heat treatment, a widely accepted practice in the gemstone industry that improves colour saturation and clarity. The Arctic Gem Certification Laboratory (AGCL) has confirmed the treatment and authenticated the stone's natural origin on the accompanying certificate.
