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

These two exceptional oval blue sapphires announce themselves with a clarity and presence reserved for connoisseurs who understand rarity, provenance, and the quiet confidence of a perfectly matched pair. Weighing 0.66 carats and 0.69 carats respectively, each stone measures 6.12 x 4.19 x 2.81 mm and 6.16 x 4.19 x 2.96 mm, and they are cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation with depth. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, their transparency allows light to pass and sparkle without distraction, while their intense color intensity and excellent polish deliver an immediate sense of refined luxury. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a name that has long been synonymous with luminous, lively blues that carry a sweetness and brightness unique to that island terroir. These sapphires have been heat treated, a conventional enhancement that deepens tone and stabilizes color, and it is applied with the restraint necessary to preserve each stone s natural character. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company this matched pair is a rare opportunity to own Ceylon sapphires that combine professional gem cutting with the sort of optical harmony that becomes the centerpiece of a tailored design.

Compare their hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations and the distinction becomes unmistakable. Compared to Kashmir sapphires, which are often celebrated for a velvety cornflower blue and a slightly softer, more powdered appearance, these Ceylon stones lean brighter and clearer, presenting a livelier blue that reads as sunshine touched and ocean fresh, rather than velvet deep. Against Mogok and other Burmese sources where sapphires can show a deeper, more saturated royal blue with a hint of inky depth, this pair remains more transparent and buoyant, favoring clarity over opacity and light play over brooding intensity. When placed alongside Australian and Thai stones that can trend toward darker, steely tones, these Ceylon sapphires stand out for their mid to medium tone brightness and for the way they emit color from within, rather than merely reflecting it at the surface. Madagascar sapphires sometimes echo the vivacity of Sri Lankan material, yet these particular stones possess a pearly inner glow and a finely tuned balance between saturation and brightness that is emblematic of the best Ceylon pieces. In short, the hue of these sapphires is a refined, intense blue that reads as both classic and contemporary, and the tone is lively without sacrificing depth.

Compare their hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations once more and the conversation shifts from simple comparison to an appreciation of subtleties that only seasoned gem lovers notice. Where Montana sapphires and certain sapphirine blues introduce greenish or icy notes, these Ceylon sapphires maintain a pure blue axis that flatters both warm and cool metals and complements a broad palette of design choices. Where Kashmir examples may whisper of antique repose and Burmese examples may declare regal depth, this pair declares a modern form of elegance, an immediacy that complements daily wear as easily as it elevates evening silhouettes. The matched dimensions and harmony of cut and polish make them ideal for bespoke earring commissions, or for a companion set in a custom pendant and ring where continuity of color and proportion matters more than anything else. Acquiring such a pair through The Natural Sapphire Company places you among a select group of collectors who value vetted origin, precise cutting, and the quiet assurance of eye clean clarity. These stones are not mass produced inventory items, they are rare matched gems, ready to be set into a one of a kind creation that will be worn as a statement of personal taste and exclusivity. If you seek a pair that will read as both heirloom worthy and unmistakably contemporary, these Ceylon sapphires offer a singular chance to own blue with both presence and provenance.
