Translucent Blue Sapphire 0.48 CT | Ceylon, Sri Lanka
This 0.48 carat oval sapphire shows a poised balance of royal and cornflower blue, shifting gently as the gem moves. The cut emphasizes a broad open table with neatly aligned star and kite facets that return crisp flashes across the crown. Luster is bright and glassy, while a gauzy inner silk gives the stone a soft glow without muting its brilliance. The body is translucent, letting light ripple through the interior in waves rather than a mirror flash, a look that reads refined and elegant. Proportions are harmonious and the girdle is even, giving the gem a face up spread that feels generous for its weight. Subtle internal needles and feathery wisps add natural texture yet remain eye friendly at normal viewing distance.
Mined in the storied gravels of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, this gemstone is corundum with the formula aluminum oxide colored by traces of iron and titanium. With a Mohs hardness of nine it is ideal for rings or daily wear jewels. Ceylon has supplied celebrated blue sapphires to royalty for centuries and that legacy is evident in this stone’s poised color and make. We selected it for our Vault for its graceful hue and balanced cut, a choice that offers lasting value to a thoughtful collector.
