0.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a small ocean folded into a single stone, a tranquil vesper of blue that seems to hold the hush of twilight within its oval frame. This is a transparent 0.52 carat sapphire, measured at 4.94 x 3.79 x 3.28 mm, cut in an elegant oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut that catches and scatters light like moonlight on water. Its color is vivid, a true, deep blue that speaks of mangled seas and timeless promises, and its polish is excellent, so each facet sends out a quiet, steady song. Slender inclusions are present, graded slightly included at eye level, lending the gem a fingerprint of origin that reminds you this is a jewel born of the earth and not of artifice. There has been no enhancement, so what you see is pure Ceylon sapphire, untreated and honest, a natural heirloom from Sri Lanka carried to you with care and provenance, a stone that wears its history with luminous pride.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire offers steadfast endurance, a hardness that is one of the great practical poems of gemstones. On the Mohs scale this stone ranks at 9, a measure that places it second only to diamond, which is 10, and above most other gems that are commonly set into daily wear jewelry. What that means for you is tangible, it means a resilience against scratches and marks that makes this gem ideal for rings destined to be worn each day as a token of devotion, or for a pendant that catches light as you move through a room. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies the stone s natural fire and makes its vivid color feel alive, while the excellent polish keeps its surface smooth and enduring. Slight inclusions should not be feared, they are a gentle reminder of its natural origin, and with ordinary care such as avoiding hard knocks and extreme heat, your sapphire will keep its radiance for generations.

When you choose this Ceylon sapphire you invite a story into your life, a story that begins in crystalline depths and unfolds in your hands. Imagine it set by The Natural Sapphire Company into a slender band that embraces the finger like a promise, or nested in a pendant that rests against the heart, each facet catching light like a memory. Its 0.52 carat size and classic oval silhouette make it a versatile muse for both minimalist designs and vintage inspired settings, a companion to platinum, to warm gold, to mixed metals, each pairing elevating the vivid blue in a different language. The unenhanced nature of this gem makes it particularly meaningful for those who seek authenticity, a blue that has not been altered, a voice of the earth preserved in perfect honesty. Let us at The Natural Sapphire Company help you imagine the setting that will honor this stone, to craft a piece that will be whispered about, passed along, treasured, a tangible poem of commitment and beauty.
