0.70 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A jewel of rare refinement, this transparent 0.70 carat oval blue sapphire measures 6.31 x 4.72 x 2.67 mm, and it arrives to you with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes both fire and depth. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is graded very slightly included, a detail that lends the stone an authentic character while preserving an immaculate visual experience. The color intensity is vivid, a deep and lively blue that calls to mind both the ocean at twilight and the velvety sky just after dusk, and an excellent polish enhances every facet so that light plays across the surface with effortless sophistication. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and carefully heat treated to optimize hue and clarity, this sapphire represents the most admired lineage of historic sapphires, a lineage curated and presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. Every numerical measure and every descriptive grade is given with absolute transparency, because owning a stone of this calibre is a statement of both taste and knowledge.

When held to the light, this sapphire reveals a luminous, saturated blue that seems to breathe from within, a vivid saturation that does not overpower, but rather invites prolonged admiration. The mixed brilliant cut is a bespoke choice for an oval of these proportions, balancing scintillation with depth, and allowing the eye to travel across the table and along the girdle in a continuous, elegant motion. The very slight inclusions noted under eye level do not diminish the gem, rather they authenticate it, a gentle signature of natural formation that assures the collector of its origin and story. The excellent polish ensures a mirror like finish to the facets, so that each flash of light becomes an intimate conversation between gem and wearer, an unspoken elegance that elevates collars and cuffs, evening gowns and daywear alike. For refined clients seeking a stone that reads as both classic and contemporary, this sapphire stands apart, ready to be set into a custom piece that reflects your singular sensibility.

Allow yourself to be carried by the romantic provenance of this blue, imagined as the last light of day preserved in a single gem. Born in the storied soils of Ceylon, this sapphire could have lain beneath verdant hills as oceans reshaped coastlines, absorbing the slow, patient blues of sky and water. Its vivid color speaks of a deep, unwavering devotion, and its clarity offers the perfect mirror for the sincerity of sentiment. Picture a letter sealed with a sapphire, a promise made with a gem that reflects loyalty across seasons, a token exchanged under a canopy of stars, where the same vivid blue was reflected in the eyes of the beloved. In this way the stone becomes more than ornament, it becomes a witness to vows, a private archive of emotion, an heirloom in the making. The very slight inclusions are like footprints of time, gentle reminders that true beauty carries memory, and that a gem chosen with deliberation will carry your story for generations.

From a design perspective, this sapphire is exquisitely versatile, suitable as the sovereign center of an engagement ring, a solitary pendant suspended on a delicate chain, or the refined focus of a bespoke cocktail ring. Its dimensions of 6.31 x 4.72 x 2.67 mm place it in the ideal sweet spot for a timeless oval solitaire or a halo setting that will enhance its vivid blue without overshadowing its natural integrity. Pairing this sapphire with brilliant cut diamonds will emphasize its polish and scintillation, while a simple bezel in warm gold will draw out the Mediterranean like warmth of Ceylon blue.
