0.70 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

As a representative of The Natural Sapphire Company I am pleased to present an exceptionally rare Ceylon blue sapphire that speaks to both refined taste and discerning provenance. This transparent 0.70 carat emerald cut shape blue sapphire measures 6.28 x 3.68 x 3.02 mm, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, an intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. Heat treated to enhance and stabilize its color, this stone arrives from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region long celebrated for producing some of the most luminous and sought after sapphires in the world. Each facet has been carefully evaluated by our gemologists to ensure that the stone meets the exacting standards that collectors and connoisseurs expect, and the combination of weight, cut and provenance makes this a gemstone of quiet but unmistakable rarity.

The emerald cut shape offers a modern, architectural elegance that allows the sapphire to reveal its depth of blue in broad, luminous planes. Because the emerald cut emphasizes clarity and color over flash, the intense blue of this sapphire reads with a composed, regal presence, and the very very slightly included clarity grade ensures that the gem remains visually clean at normal viewing distances. The excellent polish creates velvety reflections across the table and step facets, giving a tactile sense of finish that complements the stone dimensions. At 6.28 mm in length the gem is perfectly scaled for a refined solitaire ring, an elegant pendant, or a bespoke piece where the clean lines of the emerald cut can be highlighted by handcrafted metalwork. The measured proportions permit a versatile design vocabulary, from minimalist modern settings to heritage inspired designs that let the blue tone remain the singular focus.

This sapphire carries the heritage of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where sapphires have been treasured for centuries by royalty, clergy, and those seeking protective and auspicious adornment. Historically similar blue sapphires were set into signet rings and devotional ornaments, believed to bring wisdom, protection, and clarity of thought to their wearer, and to mark rites of passage across generations. Owning a Ceylon sapphire connects one to that lineage, it becomes an heirloom ready to carry stories forward. Heat treatment is a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that has been used to reveal the best color locked within these stones since early gem cutting practices, and when fully disclosed it sits comfortably within the expectations of collectors who prize both transparency and provenance. The combination of a classical origin with an elegantly modern emerald cut means this gem will fit seamlessly into the storied tradition of sapphire use while asserting its own distinct character.

Because this stone is both specific in origin and particular in its gemological attributes it is available in extremely limited supply. The Natural Sapphire Company selects only the finest examples to offer to our clients, and this sapphire sits within a very small class of Ceylon stones that combine sub one carat weight with such intensity of color, exceptional polish, and a refined emerald cut. If you are seeking a singular piece to represent a private collection, a meaningful engagement, or a bespoke commission, we can assist in designing a setting that elevates the sapphire to a personal masterpiece. Each purchase is accompanied by detailed documentation from our gemologists regarding origin, cut, clarity, enhancement, and measurements, and we offer custom design consultations along with lifetime care guidance to preserve the jewel for future generations.
