This piece was created by GemTreeJapan member Ruru, who sourced gems that particularly captivated her during her trip to Sri Lanka. The cut design was conceived and crafted under the supervision of the representative.

Before cutting, the pavilion side had a considerable curve, the proportions were somewhat unbalanced, and there were fine inclusions.

By refining the overall shape and removing unnecessary inclusions, the stone now has a clean appearance, increased brilliance, and a remarkable contrast with the silk inclusions.

This is a piece that captivated us with its cuteness in Sri Lanka; we were thrilled to find it, thinking, "This is a rare encounter! I want it!"

The way the silk inclusions are distributed and their color perfectly complement the body color, making this a captivating stone that is both incredibly cute and enchanting in its beauty.

With its gentle purple hue and softly dancing silk inclusions, this piece embodies a delicate beauty and dreamlike world, brought to life by its exquisite proportions and other elements.

The pale, bluish-purple color reveals faint pink tones at certain angles, and due to the silk inclusions, a very faint orange sometimes appears.

The color changes significantly depending on the light source; it appears stronger pink in natural light and stronger blue under LED light.

Fine silk inclusions are partially present, exhibiting a pale blue-white color, but they create an orange sparkle at certain angles.

This is a rare phenomenon, mainly observed in unheated Sri Lankan sapphires, where silk inclusions appear orange at certain angles due to light reflection and other factors.

The silk inclusions are so delicate that they seem to vanish when tilted, adding a very faint milky blue hue without compromising the brilliance.

The plump, arcing oval is adorned with a flower cut, creating a shower-like brilliance of fine sparkles.

Upon closer inspection with a loupe, there are fine inclusions, but they are obscured by the brilliance and are not noticeable to the naked eye, thus not detracting from the beauty of the piece.
