{"product_id":"1-62-ct-blue-sapphire","title":"1.62 ct Natural Heated Blue Sapphire – Round Cut | GIA Certified | Sri Lanka (Ceylon)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA natural 1.62 carat blue sapphire in a round cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), heat treated and certified by GIA (Sapphire Origin Report #2245017785, confirming Sri Lanka origin). The round brilliant-family cut produces excellent light return in colored gemstones — in Ceylon blue, this translates to a stone that is vivid and active under any lighting condition, from natural daylight to indoor incandescent. At 1.62 carats, this sits solidly in the center stone range, with sufficient face-up surface for clear visibility in any ring or pendant setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f;
