As apparent from the before and after images, this stone was recut primarily to fix its light return since it used to look almost entirely dark face up prior to recutting.
While its light return, facet distribution, shape and symmetry issues got fixed, it did lose a bit of blue in the process.
Even so, it still retains zones of clear blue and orange – a not too common combination when it comes to bi-color sapphires.

The only website where all gems get diligently color-matched and edited for accuracy until they reflect what the eye sees in diffused daylight outdoors.
Accurately represented in practical terms rather than abstract grading systems. When we say "eye clean", we really mean it as close up as the eyes can focus.
No commercial cuts here - all of our stones are recut to a high standard for added value, rarity and beauty.
