The Cornflower Blue Difference
Cornflower blue sapphires are renowned for their distinctive velvety appearance - lighter than royal blue but with superior vibrancy. This 1.08ct specimen achieves the perfect balance:
| Characteristic | This Sapphire | Ideal Range |
|---|---|---|
| Length-to-Width Ratio | 1.18 (5.99/5.08) | 1.15-1.25 |
| Depth Percentage | 64.2% (3.88/5.99) | 60-65% |
| Table Percentage | 58% | 55-65% |
The 1.18 ratio creates a classic oval silhouette, while the 64.2% depth percentage ensures neither too shallow (washed out color) nor too deep (dark areas). This precision cutting explains the stone's exceptional color uniformity.

Gemologist's Perspective: The 1.08ct weight hits the sweet spot for oval sapphires - large enough to show the cornflower color beautifully (5.99mm length visible in settings) but not so large as to make the color appear diluted. The 3.88mm depth is particularly noteworthy - it's precisely calibrated to maintain color saturation while allowing proper light return through the crown.
