Today, we’re excited to introduce a stunning 1.30ct heated sapphire from Sri Lanka. This exquisite gemstone combines the best of nature’s artistry with expert craftsmanship, making it a perfect addition to any jewelry collection.

Why Choose a Heated Sapphire?
Many sapphires, including this 1.30ct Sri Lankan beauty, undergo a heating process to enhance their color and clarity. Heating is a widely accepted and safe treatment in the gem industry that brings out the sapphire’s natural brilliance and intensifies its blue hues. The treatment ensures the sapphire’s beauty is enhanced without altering its structural integrity.

The heated sapphire is a popular choice for collectors and jewelers, as it offers a deep and vibrant color while maintaining a high level of quality and value. The heating process also ensures that the sapphire is visually stunning, with increased clarity and the ability to reflect light beautifully.

The Allure of Sri Lankan Sapphires
Sri Lanka has earned a reputation as one of the world’s premier sources for sapphires, particularly for its exceptional Ceylon blue sapphires. These sapphires are renowned for their intense, vibrant blue shades and remarkable clarity. The country’s unique geological conditions produce some of the most beautiful and highly prized sapphires available in the world.

At 1.30ct, this sapphire is a standout example of the quality and brilliance Sri Lanka is known for. The gem measures 6.35 x 5.86 x 3.96mm, making it the ideal size for various jewelry pieces, including rings, earrings, or pendants. Its vivid blue color and excellent clarity make it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to create a lasting piece of jewelry.

The Beauty of the 1.30ct Sapphire
This 1.30ct heated sapphire stands out for its rich blue hue and excellent clarity. The deep, intense blue color is one of the defining features of Sri Lankan sapphires, and this gemstone is no exception. Its brilliant color captures the light and displays a captivating radiance that adds sophistication and elegance to any jewelry design.

The clarity of the sapphire is equally impressive. It has been carefully selected to ensure that it is free of any major inclusions, giving it a flawless, smooth surface. The result is a gemstone that sparkles with a high level of brilliance, making it a standout choice for a wide range of applications.
