Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A 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.
Why Choose this 1.04 ct Marquise Ceylon Blue Sapphire?
The marquise shape in blue sapphire at just over 1 carat gives strong visual impact without the weight of a 1.5+ carat oval. The elongated outline reads larger face-up than a round or cushion of the same weight, and in a solitaire ring setting it creates the finger-elongating effect that makes marquise the preferred choice for certain engagement aesthetics. Ceylon origin adds the provenance and color quality that defines fine blue sapphire.
