1.26 ct Blue Sapphire-Color Change - Emerald Cut

At 1.26 carats, this color-change sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its blue color through an emerald cut, measuring 5.6 x 5.1 x 4.3 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 wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

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.
