1.11 ct Bi-color Sapphire - Oval

At 1.11 carats, this sapphire from Thailand carries its bi-color face through an oval cut, measuring 6.9 x 5.5 x 4.1 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. Thailand is both a corundum source and the great cutting and finishing hub of the colored gemstone trade. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
