1.24 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Blue Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient alluvial fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, these sapphires began their long voyage, buried within river gravels and shaped by time and tectonic patience. Miners working in traditional pits and sluices first uncovered the rough material, small blue flashes against the earth, and each stone was carefully selected for color and clarity. At our partner workshops in Sri Lanka the rough was assessed and heat treated to reveal the full potential of its hue, a common and accepted enhancement that deepens blue tones while preserving the natural character of the gem. Cut and polish followed, a rhythm of hand and eye, and the result is a matched pair of oval blue sapphires weighing 0.60 carats and 0.64 carats, with dimensions of 5.92 x 4.06 x 2.69 mm and 6.06 x 4.16 x 2.71 mm respectively, a mixed brilliant cut that balances sparkle with depth, an excellent polish that sings under light, and a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which allows for beautiful transparency and life within each gem. The intense color intensity speaks to their Ceylon heritage, a classic blue that is at once vivid and velvety, and these stones carry the fingerprint of their origin in every facet.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we imagine these sapphires as the heart of a custom pair of earrings, a story finished by your design. Their matched sizes and complementary proportions make them ideal for settings that celebrate symmetry, whether as delicate stud earrings that let the blue stand alone, or as part of a halo or drop design where light and movement enhance their mixed brilliant cut. The slight weight difference is natural and negligible to the eye, and the close dimensions ensure a harmonious pair that sits beautifully on the ear. When set in warm yellow gold the blue will glow, when set in cool white metal the sparkle will be crisp, and when paired with small accent diamonds the contrast will feel modern and timeless. We craft each commission with the same respect those stones received at their source, matching metal, mount, and finish to the personality of the wearer, and guiding you through choices that honor both the gem and the story it carries. Choose these Ceylon sapphires for earrings that begin in nature and end in a piece made for everyday elegance and meaningful moments.
