0.68 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine the moment you lift a small velvet box to meet the eyes of someone you love, and there it is, a perfect point of blue that seems to hold the sky, the sea, and a promise all at once. This transparent round blue sapphire weighs 0.68 carats, and measures 4.87 by 4.89 by 3.40 millimeters, a gem that feels intimate in the hand and luminous on the skin. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, every facet has been shaped to sing with light, producing sparkle and depth that invite a second and third glance. The color intensity is vivid, a deep, soulful blue that is unmistakably Ceylon in character, and the polish is excellent, allowing smooth, reflective surfaces that enhance brilliance. At eye level the clarity is very very slightly included, which means the stone reads clean and clear to the heart, while owning a tiny, natural fingerprint that assures you of its origin in the earth. Heat treated as is common for sapphires to bring out their best possible color, this gem has been carefully enhanced to reveal its full emotional potential, and sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka where sapphires have long been treasured for their beauty and story.

There is a certain joy in knowing that beauty and resilience can travel together, and this blue sapphire offers both in abundance. On the Mohs hardness scale this sapphire rates a nine out of ten, which places it directly beneath diamond, which is ten, and well above many other popular gemstones such as topaz which is eight, and quartz which is seven. That hardness translates into real life confidence, allowing this stone to withstand everyday moments with grace, from holding hands to washing dishes, from breezy commutes to candlelit dinners. The toughness of corundum means you can design your jewel with freedom, choosing settings that express your heart, whether you prefer the timeless purity of a solitaire, the halo that amplifies sparkle, or a custom piece that tells your unique story. The mixed brilliant cut combined with excellent polish enhances durability as well, by dispersing light and minimizing the visual impact of very small inclusions, and the result is a gem that feels as enduring as the sentiment it represents.

When you choose a gemstone from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing provenance, care, and a voice for your emotion, and this Ceylon blue sapphire sings a particularly compelling song. Imagine it set as the centerpiece of an engagement ring that will be touched every day, or as a pendant that rests over the heart during celebrations and quiet mornings. The vivid blue will deepen when paired with warm yellow gold, and will glow with a crisp elegance in white gold or platinum, giving you design versatility that suits a lifetime of changing styles and memories. Heat treatment is a widely accepted enhancement that improves color stability, and when performed professionally it offers a permanent enhancement that stands up to wear and time. Our gem cutters and gemologists have examined this stone carefully, ensuring that its round proportions at 4.87 by 4.89 by 3.40 millimeters are ideal for maximizing both color and brilliance, and that the clarity, described as very very slightly included at eye level, will provide both beauty and value.

Owning this Ceylon sapphire is like keeping a little story of wonder close at hand, it is a gem that invites compliments and starts conversations, it is a perfect gift for anniversaries, milestones, proposals, or for the moment when you want to give someone a tangible piece of the extraordinary. The richness of its vivid color calls up feelings of devotion and admiration, while the hardness of nine on the Mohs scale offers peace of mind that it will go with you through the chapters of life. We at The Natural Sapphire Company would be delighted to help you explore settings, certifications, and custom options that make this stone the emblem of your most cherished emotions.
