GEMSTONE APPRAISAL / EVALUATION: The Fair Market Value Appraisal for this Velvet Blue Sapphire, considering its size, clarity, treatment status, and overall quality, is estimated at approximately USD 1,200. This value reflects the premium characteristics of the stone, including its eye-clean clarity, unheated status, and expert checkerboard cut, which enhance its desirability in the gemstone market.

This Sri Lankan Ceylon Sapphire, with its premium cut and vibrant blue color, can be seen as a valuable asset for the future, particularly for collectors and jewelry aficionados. However, given its size of 1.486 carats, it may not appreciate significantly like larger stones. Rather than viewing it strictly as a financial investment, it may serve better as a unique gemstone for personal adornment or as a family heirloom, where its beauty and craftsmanship can be appreciated in a more personal context.
