0.41 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A pear shaped blue sapphire carries with it a lineage that reaches back through dynasties and oceans, and this transparent 0.41 carat stone is a modern heirloom ready to begin its own story. Cut in a mixed brilliant style and measuring 5.66 by 3.98 by 2.38 millimeters, it combines the sparkle of modern cutting with the tear shaped silhouette beloved in antique jewelry. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for producing sapphires of vivid, velvety blue, this gem displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that allows light to play across its surfaces. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, the clarity of this sapphire presents an open window into its depth, and responsible heat treatment has been applied to enhance its natural beauty while preserving its character. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate stones that feel timeless, and this pear sapphire is precisely the sort of piece that translates tradition into contemporary wearable art.

For a custom setting that honors the stone s history while feeling fresh, envision this pear sapphire as the focal point of a classic three stone ring flanked by two tapered baguette diamonds for an elegant Art Deco gesture, or set as a solitaire pendant suspended from a simple chain so the jewel reads like a small, sacred talisman. A halo of old mine cut diamonds will amplify its vintage presence and create the impression of a larger, more luminous center, while a pairing with soft cream pearls will reference Victorian sensibilities and underscore the warmth of the blue. For a bolder contrast consider pairing it with small rose cut rubies or pink sapphires to echo colonial era color palettes, or include tiny white spinels as subtle accent stones for a restrained, museum quality effect. In a custom piece the pear shape naturally points the eye, so orienting the tip toward the wearer s hand in a ring or downward in a pendant creates a flattering, elongating line. Whether set in warm yellow gold to evoke an antique luster, in cool platinum for a crisp museum look, or in rose gold for a romantic period feel, this Ceylon pear sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company will carry centuries of tradition into a new chapter, ready to be designed into a family treasure.
