0.71 ct Blue Sapphire - Oval

At 0.71 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its blue color through an oval cut, measuring 6.9 x 4.1 x 2.9 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Sri Lankan sapphire is hand-picked from river gravels worked for two thousand years, and the island's signature is bright, glassy color with high transparency. It is heat-treated, the common and honest preparation for most sapphire and ruby on the market, disclosed on every listing.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
