No reserve price - 1 pcs Blue Sapphire - 2.23 ct - International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA GemLab) - Royal blue sapphire #1196

Sapphires are among the most treasured of colored gemstones, celebrated primarily for their intense blue hues but available in many colors. The 2.23-carat blue sapphire certified by the International Colored Gemstone Association's GemLab is described as a royal blue, a particularly vivid and desirable saturation known for its strong depth without overpowering darkness. Sapphires belong to the corundum mineral family and are second only to diamonds in hardness, contributing to their widespread use in fine, durable jewelry. Their rich color comes from trace elements like iron and titanium, with untreated sapphires highly valued for their natural character. The ICA GemLab certification assures gemological quality and authenticity, appealing to buyers who seek both beauty and investment potential in their gemstones.
