Translucent Blue Sapphire 0.49 CT | Ceylon, Sri Lanka
The 0.49 carat oval offers a deeper, more nocturnal shade of blue that blooms to a lighter glow as the gem turns. Faceting is precise with crisp junctions that create clean triangular flashes and broader pools of light across the table. Translucency gives the stone a dreamy, layered appearance, with faint silky clouds and fine needles producing a velvety undercurrent that enhances rather than diminishes brilliance. The polish is excellent and the outline is pleasingly symmetrical, making this a versatile centerpiece for a delicate ring or an elegant pendant. Despite its compact weight, the stone presents confidently thanks to skilled cutting and a richly saturated tone.
Originating from Ceylon, this sapphire belongs to the corundum family, aluminum oxide colored by iron and titanium. Sri Lanka’s gem fields, particularly around Ratnapura, have supplied blue sapphires prized for their lively brilliance and balanced saturation since antiquity. The species is celebrated for durability, standing at nine on the Mohs scale, which translates into dependable performance in everyday jewelry. We curated this piece for its depth of color and refined finishing, the traits discerning buyers seek when pursuing a small yet exceptional Ceylon blue.
