0.65 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Owning a sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is not merely an acquisition, it is an invitation to join a select circle of collectors who value authenticity, provenance, and refined taste. This oval blue sapphire of exceptional poise is a rare offering that will not be easily replaced. Its modest carat weight conceals a presence that reads far larger once set, and its classic oval silhouette lends itself to bespoke designs intended for those who seek distinction rather than conformity. We present this gem as a singular opportunity, a choice for someone who understands that true rarity is measured not only in scarcity, but in the confidence of owning something cultivated and curated with the utmost care.

This particular stone is a transparent 0.65 carat oval sapphire with precise dimensions of 5.96 x 5.17 x 2.20 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and depth. The clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are subtle and contribute character without diminishing the gems overall brilliance. The color is a medium intense blue that carries the timeless allure of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where this sapphire originated. The polish is excellent, delivering crisp facet junctions and lively light return. The gem has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that deepens color and refines tone, a practice that our specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company disclose openly and manage with responsible standards.

Practical beauty matters as much as visual appeal, and this sapphire excels in durability. On the Mohs hardness scale the sapphire rates a nine, which places it immediately below diamond, the hardest natural mineral at ten, and well above commonly encountered gemstones such as topaz at eight and quartz at seven. This impressive hardness means that the stone resists daily wear and surface abrasion, making it an excellent choice for rings that will be worn often, as well as for pendants and bracelets. While a sapphire is highly resistant to scratching, we advise prudent handling to avoid hard knocks against metal edges, and we recommend consulting our gem care guide for safe cleaning methods. Heat treated sapphires are generally stable under normal wear, but ultrasonic cleaning and steam cleaning should be used with care when inclusions are noted, and our gemologists are always available to advise on the best care protocol for long term beauty.

The aesthetic versatility of this 0.65 carat Ceylon sapphire is another of its compelling attributes. Its medium intense color and fine transparency offer a flattering balance that adapts to different metal choices and design directions. Set in warm yellow gold the blue will sing with vintage elegance, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the stones cool, crystalline depth for a modern, refined effect. The mixed brilliant cut provides both table brilliance and pavilion sparkle, allowing designers to incorporate this gem as a refined center stone for a delicate engagement ring, an intimate pendant for a meaningful gift, or an elegant accent in a bespoke cocktail ring. For collectors who prefer bespoke commissions, The Natural Sapphire Company can arrange matching accent stones, a custom setting, and detailed sketches so that the finished piece reflects the owners personal story and aesthetic.

We understand that acquiring a gem is a conversation as much as a purchase, and our commitment to bespoke service ensures that each client feels both guided and empowered in their decision. This Ceylon sapphire is presented in limited quantity, and once reserved it can be held for custom mounting or shipped with secure documentation upon request. Our gemologists can provide additional details about its evaluation, and our design team can propose settings that enhance the stones color and presence while ensuring security and longevity. If you are seeking a remarkable blue sapphire that embodies rarity, provenance, and practical resilience, allow The Natural Sapphire Company to introduce you to this unique gem, and to assist you in transforming it into a cherished heirloom.
