Not sure yet? Let's discuss your needs to ensure the perfect match.
- This handcrafted Ceylon Sapphire weighs 1.66 carats and features a square checkerboard cushion cut. Its dimensions measure 6.71 mm in length, 6.33 mm in width, and 4.65 mm in height. The stone showcases a vivid silver-blue color that stands out due to its unique color variations from its limited geographical source in Sri Lanka.
The sapphire is untreated, meaning it has not undergone any heating processes. This allows the natural color of the stone to remain intact, which is particularly important for collectors and custom jewelers seeking high-quality, unaltered gemstones.
In terms of clarity, this sapphire is slightly included, which means there are some inclusions visible under magnification but does not affect its overall beauty when set in jewelry. The cushion cut enhances the stone's visual appeal, allowing for a pleasing light reflection that draws attention.
The gem comes with certification from our in-house gem laboratory, confirming its authenticity and untreated state. If additional certification is desired from an external lab, we can assist with that for the applicable fee.

| GEMSTONE APPRAISAL / EVALUATION: | Based on the characteristics of this handcrafted Ceylon Sapphire, including its premium square checkerboard cushion cut, eye-clean clarity, and vibrant blue color with moderately strong saturation, the fair market value is estimated to be in the range of USD 800 to USD 1,000. The gemstone's lack of treatments and its authentication by an in-house gem laboratory further enhance its desirability and value in the market. This Sri Lankan Ceylon Sapphire can be viewed as a potential asset for the future, particularly due to its good carat weight and appealing color. However, while some gemstones appreciate over time, this sapphire might not see significant investment returns as larger, rare, and more well-known stones. Instead, it would be ideal as a personal piece of jewelry or as a unique gift, providing both beauty and emotional value rather than a strictly financial investment. |
