A Ceylon sapphire of 1.29 carats in an oval cut, showing a bright cornflower blue with a soft violet undertone — the classical Sri Lankan shade that has been the reference for fine blue sapphire for centuries. The stone is eye clean and reads clearly, holding an even, luminous color across the whole face without darkening at the center. Its shallow proportions spread the stone wide, so it faces up larger than its weight would suggest. Heated, the standard and universally accepted treatment for blue sapphire.
