Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A matched pair of two natural sapphires, reported together by AGCL (Arctic Gem Certification & Laboratory) as 0.87 cts (Total), shape Tapered Baguette, cut Step Cut, colour Light Yellow. Tapered baguettes are long and rectangular, narrower at one end than the other, and these two are sized for side-stone placement either side of a centre stone — in a three-stone ring, or as a facing pair in earrings.
This is a pair, not a single stone. The 0.87 figure is the weight of both stones together, which is why AGCL prints it as 0.87 cts (Total). The report gives no separate weight for either stone, and neither do we.

Reproduced as printed. The date is written day/month/year on the report. The report carries these fields and the variety heading, and no others.
The Dimensions Are an Average of the Two
AGCL prints 6.03 x 3.05 x 2.55 mm (Avg). On a pair that figure is averaged across both stones, so it is not a measurement of either one on its own. It is the number to give your setter as a starting point, and the reason to confirm the seat against the stones in hand before any metal is cut.
On Heat
The report's COMMENTS field reads No Indication of Heating (Un-Heated). That is a finding about heat, and AGCL writes the word itself. It is the only treatment field on the report, so it is the only treatment statement we make about these stones.
Where These Stones Came From
We bought this pair in Sri Lanka, in the trade we work in directly. That is our own sourcing record, not a laboratory finding. Origin is not a field on this report, and AGCL gives no origin opinion on it. If you need a laboratory opinion on origin, this pair does not carry one.
Our Own Notes on This Pair
None of the following is on the report. It is what we see handling the stones, and we are telling you so.
-
Clarity — eye-clean to the unaided eye. Our assessment; the report has no clarity field.
-
Transparency — transparent. Our assessment.
-
The match — the two were selected to sit either side of a centre stone. We are not putting a grade or a score on how closely they match; look at the photographs and the video and judge it yourself.
-
Stock — we hold one pair at this size. When it sells, replacing it means sourcing and matching two stones again rather than reordering a line item.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"Buying one tapered baguette is easy. Finding the second one that belongs next to it — same colour, same taper, same length — is the part that takes time, and it is the reason a pair is sold as a pair rather than as two stones."
Setting Them
-
Confirm the pair suits your design before ordering. Two tapered baguettes totalling 0.87 cts (Total) are side stones, not a centre stone — check that against what your design needs.
-
Give your jeweller the printed dimensions. 6.03 x 3.05 x 2.55 mm (Avg), and tell them it is an average over the two stones so the seats are cut to the stones rather than to the figure.
-
Keep the report with the stones. The AGCL report is the document that records what these two stones are and what it found on heat. It travels with them.
-
Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the pair in hand before finalising the purchase.
