Sapphire Description
Presenting a refined 1.21 carat white / colourless Ceylon sapphire, unheated and precisely cut in a distinctive octagon princess style, offering a clean, contemporary expression of natural brilliance. This gemstone is completely colourless, displaying exceptional clarity and a crisp, glass-like sparkle that makes it an elegant alternative to traditional diamonds for a ring, pendant, or bespoke fine jewellery design.
The octagon princess cut combines geometric precision with strong light performance, using step-like facets and sharp symmetry to create a structured, mirror-like reflection. This cutting style enhances the stone’s brightness and gives it a modern, architectural feel while maintaining timeless sophistication.
Being completely unheated, this sapphire retains its pure, natural formation without enhancement, making it especially desirable for those seeking authenticity in a colourless gemstone. Its untouched nature ensures true individuality and long-term value.
Carefully selected for its clarity and precision cutting, this Ceylon sapphire is a rare and elegant centrepiece, perfectly suited to minimalist, contemporary fine jewellery designs
Imaging Accuracy
Imaging Accuracy
We understand that it can be hard to assess loose sapphires colours from photos alone. All our images and videos are taken by a specialist gemstone imaging company who produce images to 99% colour accuracy with ISO standard natural daylight in high magnification. This ensures you will get the best view for colour, clarity and any visible inclusions.
Whilst this is the most accurate representation of the stones colours, sapphire colours vary depending on the lighting conditions.
Certification
Certification
All our sapphires come certified, guaranteeing authentic natural sapphires from Sri Lanka. This will come in the form of a certificate on delivery of the sapphire. Certain stones may include extra certification by GIA or SSEF Switzerland, this will be highlighted in the description. Please do contact us if you wish to discuss any certifications.
Clarity Rating
Clarity Rating
While some sapphires can appear "eye-clean" (meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye), most natural sapphires do contain inclusions, which are considered natural characteristics and not necessarily flaws.
Our sapphires are graded in the below format:
VVS (Very Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have very, very small inclusions that are difficult to see even under 10x magnification.
VS (Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have minor inclusions that are clearly visible under 10x magnification, but they might be difficult to see with the naked eye.
SI (Slightly Included):These sapphires have noticeable inclusions that are easy to observe under 10x magnification, and some may be visible to the naked eye.
I (Included):These sapphires have obvious inclusions that are easily visible under 10x magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.
