Orange Sapphire Pair 1.56 ct, Bullet Cut – Vintage 1930s Ceylon Loose
Product details
Style ID: RJ-309102
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.
- Vintage. Fiery. Matched. Made to be remembered.
- Matched pair of natural Ceylon orange sapphires, 1.56 ct total (0.80 + 0.75 ct)
- Bullet cut, hand-cut in the 1930s Art Deco era, about 7.8 mm long
- Vivid fiery orange-red with golden undertones
- Ideal as a matched gemstone pair for earrings or as side stones for a three-stone ring
- A matched pair of loose natural orange sapphires, sold unmounted. Both stones were cut by hand in the 1930s and selected as a pair for their shape and colour. There is only one of this 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
- Matching pendants or rings
- Yellow or rose gold settings to warm up the orange-red
Perfect for
A pair of Art Deco earrings or the side stones of a three-stone ring, for designers, makers and anyone who loves vintage jewelry.
