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

This matched pair of Ceylon sapphires is a strong example of why origin, cut, and clarity matter to an educated collector, designer, or client. The stones weigh 0.59 carat and 0.68 carat respectively, they are round shaped blue sapphires with dimensions of 5.00 by 4.98 by 3.29 mm and 5.07 by 5.06 by 3.06 mm, and they display a mixed brilliant cut with excellent polish. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means they are essentially eye clean with only minor inclusions that do not interfere with brilliance. Color intensity is described as intense, and the gems have been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that brings out the rich blue tones associated with Sri Lankan material. The Ceylon provenance is important, because sapphires from this source often show a lively vibrancy and an appealing balance of tone and saturation, characteristics that connoisseurs value for their rarity and aesthetic harmony. Cut proportions in this pair support strong light return, with depth ratios that work well for a mixed brilliant design, and the excellent polish ensures maximum sparkle and a refined surface finish, all reasons these stones are a trustworthy purchase from The Natural Sapphire Company.

Because they are closely matched in hue and finish but slightly different in weight and profile, this pair is exceptionally versatile across multiple jewelry settings. They make a superb set of stud earrings where the near match will present as a beautifully balanced pair, and they also function well as accent stones in a halo or three stone ring where the intense blue will complement a white diamond center or contrast warmly with yellow gold. The mixed brilliant cut offers scintillation that reads well in both prong and bezel settings, so you can choose a modern tension mount or a more protective bezel for everyday wear without sacrificing sparkle. Their durability as corundum with a Mohs hardness of 9 means they are suitable for rings, pendants, cufflinks, and bespoke ear climbers alike. If you are considering a custom commission, The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on metal choice, prong style, and setting depth to maximize color and balance, preserving the integrity and provenance of these Ceylon sapphires while creating a piece that will perform beautifully for years.
