GEMSTONE APPRAISAL / EVALUATION: Based on the characteristics of the vivid pastel blue sapphire, including its eye-clean clarity, expertly crafted round checkerboard cut, and strong saturation of color, a fair market value appraisal would place this gemstone in the range of approximately USD 850 to USD 1,200. This estimation reflects its quality, origin from Sri Lanka, and the increasing demand for blue sapphires in the market.

This Ceylon sapphire can be seen as a valuable asset for the future due to its well-balanced carat size and vibrant color, which are often sought after by collectors and investors. However, while it does hold potential as an investment piece, its heated treatment may limit its long-term appreciation compared to untreated stones. Therefore, it may be best suited as a personal heirloom or a statement piece of jewelry, where its aesthetic qualities can be fully appreciated rather than purely as an investment.
