Vintage Orange Sapphire Pair 1.55 ct, Tapered Baguettes – 1930s Ceylon Loose

Looking for something truly unusual? This is a matched pair of natural orange sapphires from Sri Lanka, hand-cut in the 1930s in the tapered "bullet" shape of the Art Deco era. Their vivid orange-red glows like hot embers, and you won't find this cut in modern calibrated stones. They're made for a jewelry designer, a maker or anyone planning a one-of-a-kind pair of Art Deco earrings or a three-stone ring. This is our larger pair, with deeper, more saturated colour than our 1.06 ct pair.

The Art Deco cut

Bullet cuts were a signature of 1920s and 1930s Art Deco jewelry, when geometric shapes and strong lines were in fashion. Old hand-cut stones like these have slightly individual facets, which is part of their charm.

Colour under different light

• Daylight: Deep vivid orange with fiery red flashes
• Warm indoor light: Rich amber-orange glow
• Candlelight: Intense ember red
• Flash: Bright geometric flashes from the bullet facets

Design ideas

• Long drop earrings, where the bullet shape adds length
• East-west bezel earrings that show off the elongated shape
• Side stones flanking a center diamond in a three-stone ring
