Description

A vivid royal blue sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon).

***DETAILS***

Variety: Blue sapphire

Weight: 1.22 ct.

Color: Vivid royal blue

Shape & cut: Oval, brilliant crown with a step cut pavilion

Dimensions: 6.30 x 5.00 x 4.50 mm

Clarity: Eye clean

Treatments: Unheated

Lab report: Yes, a full format lab report with heat and surface/lattice diffusion checks

***ADDITIONAL INFO***

Medium-dark tone and a vividly saturated pure blue hue with no green tints - typical fine Ceylon royal blue.

The stone is 100% eye clean when closely examined in any type of lighting, despite some silk showing in the photos.

Overall, a rare and desirable combination of color and clarity that seems to work really well for blue sapphires. Not too light, not too dark.

Caveat: please note the dimensions. The pavilion was cut a bit deep to keep it above a carat and keep its color even.

***COLORS AND ACCURACY***

All of our images are extensively, carefully and thoroughly edited and color-matched to reflect the stones in normal diffused daylight viewing conditions by editing with the stone and the monitor side by side in daylight. Consequently, the colors in the photos are as close as they get to reality when viewed on a normal monitor with a generic RGB display calibration profile - this includes most mobile devices but if in doubt, please always check on a desktop/laptop.

If you'd like more photos or videos of anything, please by all means just e-mail anytime.

***SHIPPING***

Tracked and insured shipping is included in the price.

***PAYMENT***

PayPal preferred under $1,000. Over $1,000 a direct bank TT is preferable but PayPal is still an option if their fees are covered.

***RETURNS***

Returns are totally okay but please note that they come minus the insured shipping costs paid to send you the stones. A government-issued invoice signed and stamped by Customs, government valuer-gemmologists and postal agents for stones + shipping comes within every parcel with the exact breakdown of shipping and insurance costs paid on export. Most of the time those amount to $55-60 for sub $1k value stones.
