Blue Sapphire - Bracelet - Myanmar faceted stones

Exceptionally beautiful bracelet made of blue sapphire from Myanmar (Burma), composed of round beads of about 8 mm. The beads are both polished and faceted, causing the dark sapphire-blue tones to be subtly accented under different lighting. The bracelet displays an appealing spectrum of deep navy blue and midnight blue to blue-gray nuances, combined with the natural internal structures and color variations that give each bead a unique character. The facets provide extra light reflection and give the whole a more pronounced, luxurious appearance. Sapphire belongs to the mineral group corundum and has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale. Thus sapphire, after diamond, is among the hardest natural minerals. The blue color of natural sapphire is typically associated with trace elements such as iron and titanium. With a weight of 27.1 grams this bracelet feels noticeably substantial for beads of circa 8 mm.
