Here's an undeniably blue sapphire. The color is very rich.

The stone has an amazing ability to exhibit such a pure, deep blue while still being lively and sparkling.

We got an amazing price on the stone. I assume the sapphire was heated prior to polishing.

That is a customary step in cutting - especially in a stone that looks this good, in this price range. The reason is that the heat evens the natural color.

The stone is beautifully cut.

Blue and white make perfect bedfellows! Wow, the colors really do set each other off.

The diamonds are super well cut. They are large enough to make an individual impact as opposed to blending together.
