{"product_id":"1-04-ct-marquise-blue-sapphire-ceylon","title":"1.04 ct Natural Heated Blue Sapphire – Marquise Cut | Sri Lanka (Ceylon)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA natural 1.04 carat blue sapphire in a marquise cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), heat treated. Marquise-cut blue sapphire is an unusual combination — the pointed-oval outline is rare in colored stones because the two sharp tips are structurally vulnerable and lose weight relative to oval or cushion cuts. When well-executed, however, a marquise is the format that elongates the finger most dramatically of any cut shape, and the elongated face-up footprint makes the stone read significantly larger than its carat weight suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 28px 0; background-color: #f9f5fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px; color: #4a235a;\"\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ar-cn\/pages\/ahmed-shareek-about-the-owner\" style=\"color: #4a235a; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAhmed Shareek\u003c\/a\u003e's Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\"Marquise is a shape you don't see often in blue sapphire — the pointed tips cost the cutter yield — so finding one at 1.04 ct with even, medium-intense blue saturation and no visible tip damage is a genuine find for buyers who want an elongated silhouette.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the tips carefully before setting.\u003c\/strong\u003e Because marquise sapphires have two pointed ends, view the stone in person or via video to confirm symmetry and that there's no chipping at the points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlan for V-tip prong protection.\u003c\/strong\u003e A marquise this size needs V-tip prongs to protect the pointed ends — factor that into your setting choice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAsk about certification directly.\u003c\/strong\u003e A lab report wasn't included in this listing's product data — if third-party documentation matters to you, request it before purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeigh availability of this cut and size together.\u003c\/strong\u003e Marquise-cut blue sapphire above 1 carat is uncommon relative to oval or cushion cuts of the same weight, which affects both sourcing and price when comparison shopping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse the Try Before You Buy option\u003c\/strong\u003e if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn More About This Gemstone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ar-cn\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/blue-sapphire-buyers-guide\"\u003eBlue Sapphire Buyer's Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ar-cn\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/what-is-an-unheated-sapphire\"\u003eUnheated Sapphire Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ar-cn\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/what-is-a-gia-sapphire-report-and-how-do-you-read-one\"\u003eGIA Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ar-cn\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/how-to-commission-custom-sapphire-ring\"\u003eCustom Ring Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ar-cn\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/ceylon-sapphire-complete-guide\"\u003eCeylon Sapphire Complete Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/ar-cn\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/sapphire-buying-guide\"\u003eSapphire Buying Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Crescent Gems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665947922499,"sku":"CG7922","price":4062.83,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8982\/8931\/files\/stone_CG7922_image-1.jpg?v=1778308005","url":"https:\/\/crescentgems.com\/ar-cn\/products\/1-04-ct-marquise-blue-sapphire-ceylon","provider":"Crescent Gems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
