This is a tremendous example of pure sapphire. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka which is known for its exquisite gemstones, this sapphire has had a premium on its price before it ever saw sunlight. Add to that its outstanding VS clarity and amazing steel blue hue, and you could be looking at $1,000+ per carat in a retail setting. And if you went to a jewelry boutique? Then you could be spending as much as $3,000 a carat. Same gemstone, different locations. That is how crazy the gem market is. Fortunately though, you are smarter than that, and you came to our auction. So now, without further delay, back to this amazing sapphire! The color of this piece shows preferred medium saturation with a rich tone that really rounds out its even flowing steel blue hue. It has a modified oval cut that produces crisp flashing, and was finished with a superior luster that sparkles off of every facet. It measures 8mm x 5mm x 3.4mm with a Mohs hardness rating of 9 out of 10 making it perfect for setting and wearing daily now and for generations to come. Heated only!
