0.55 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.55 carat round Ceylon blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a rare combination of vivid color, excellent polish, and confident proportions for its size, making it an exceptional choice for someone building a thoughtful gemstone collection. The stone measures 4.89 by 4.83 by 3.15 mm and is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and face up size. At eye level it is described as very very slightly included, which means it remains remarkably transparent to the unaided eye while retaining the natural character and internal fingerprint that distinguish natural sapphires from synthetic alternatives. Heat treated to enhance its vivid blue intensity, this sapphire presents a lively, saturated hue and fine polish that outperforms many small stones on the market which can appear dull or heavily included. Because The Natural Sapphire Company carefully selects stones from Ceylon, this gem presents a balance of the bright, lively blue typical of Sri Lankan material, and a price and scale that make it wearable and versatile for an ethical jewelry piece.

Compared with other options available today, this Ceylon sapphire offers superior value for conscious buyers who want natural origin, visual appeal, and responsible sourcing without paying a premium for rare or museum quality stones from historic mines. Versus untreated stones, which can be more expensive and inconsistent in color, a professionally heat treated sapphire like this one delivers a stable, permanent improvement in color and clarity while preserving natural origin and unique internal characteristics. Versus lab grown alternatives, this gem provides provenance, geological story, and natural variation that many collectors prize. Against heavily included or poorly cut commercial goods, this well cut mixed brilliant stone shows superior light performance and face up color, making it a better candidate for everyday wear or a refined custom setting. For the conscious consumer The Natural Sapphire Company prioritizes traceability and responsible procurement practices when sourcing Ceylon sapphires, working to maintain transparent supply chains and foster positive relationships with local mining communities. Choosing this 0.55 carat Ceylon sapphire means selecting a naturally sourced, carefully treated gem that combines visual excellence, ethical consideration, and strong value, ideal for someone who wants their jewelry to reflect both taste and principle.
