0.58 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A small, luminous moon of Ceylon, this oval blue sapphire weighs 0.58 carat and measures 5.85 x 4.28 x 2.85 mm, a compact treasure that feels like a secret pressed into the palm. Its mixed brilliant cut scatters light in a soft parade of flashes, the facets breathing life through a medium intense blue that is neither too bold nor too shy. At eye level the clarity reads very very slightly included, a whisper of natural character that makes the stone feel honest and alive, while an excellent polish gives every curve and plane a mirror finish. Untreated and born in Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the old island light in its heart, an unenhanced, authentic glow that speaks of warm monsoon skies and evenings that hold the first stars.

Envisioned for an expression of affection that is both intimate and timeless, this Ceylon sapphire sings when set beside tiny white diamonds that act like a ring of fireflies. A halo of delicate brilliant cut diamonds will brighten the blue and add a steady, crystalline shimmer, creating a contrast that feels like moonlight reflecting on deep water. For a softer, more romantic harmony, pair the sapphire with blush morganite or pale pink sapphires to summon the feeling of dawn, the cool blue leaning into peach tones for a gentle, modern vintage look. For a vibrant and unexpected duet, small green tsavorite or mint tourmaline accents will set the blue ablaze, the warm and cool colors entwined like sea and shore. A trio of tapered baguette diamonds will lend architectural grace, while scattered rose cut diamonds will introduce an old world glitter that harmonises with the stone s natural inclusions.

In a custom piece the choices are a poem of metal and setting, each line chosen to make the sapphire s eye catching personality sing. Set in platinum or 18 karat white gold with a fine diamond halo, the sapphire becomes an elegant solitaire for an engagement ring that reads understated and refined. Set in warm 18 karat rose gold with pale pink sapphire shoulders, it becomes a romantic talisman, the metal warming the blue into a violet edge that glows against the skin. For everyday wear choose a low bezel that protects the oval silhouette while allowing the mixed brilliant cut to flash with every turn of the hand. For a dramatic heirloom consider a three stone ring with the Ceylon oval at the center flanked by two tapered diamonds or by a pair of soft champagne diamonds, their warm fire complimenting the medium intense blue. Whatever setting you imagine, The Natural Sapphire Company can craft the design to balance proportion and poetry, the small, honest 0.58 carat gem becoming a focal point that carries meaning. This sapphire is not merely a stone, it is a memory waiting to be set, a soft blue promise that will catch light and hearts for years to come.
