0.70 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a moment just after dusk when the sky forgets the sun and remembers the sea, when the air tastes of salt and old promises, and in that gentle hush a single blue light gathers itself into a perfect tear, ready to be held. This pear shaped sapphire arrives like that evening, a small, precise moon caught between fingers, deep and luminous and full of quiet intent. Hold it and you can almost hear waves folding around a hidden cove, you can almost feel a hand finding yours under a sky that has kept its best color for the giving. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish that instant where nature and craftsmanship meet, and we present this transparent 0.70 carat pear shape blue sapphire as if it were a sentence written in a lover's hand, a promise made in the language of color and light.

This gem is measured with a careful, reverent eye, a compact and perfect form measuring 6.34 by 4.45 by 3.75 millimeters, each dimension a note in a quiet chord. Cut with a mixed brilliant face, the facets dance between fire and depth, slicing the intense blue into flashes, while the excellent polish allows every plane to sing. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a detail that reads like a small, intimate truth, almost invisible until one leans in and witnesses the gem up close. The color intensity is intense, a true Ceylon blue that leans toward the pure, saturated tone collectors and romantics both adore, and crucially, this stone has no enhancement, it arrives to you untouched by heat or artifice, a natural voice from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. These technical truths give the sapphire a real presence, a tangible authenticity, and they explain why the light that lives inside it feels so alive.

Imagine the backstory of this blue as an old sea tale, passed mouth to ear across generations of islanders, the sapphire born where rain meets the earth and miners tumble through red soil by lantern light. Picture a small river carrying pebbles and color down through monsoon softened valleys until a single crystal is pulled free, washed and lifted and carried into a world where hands know how to reveal its heart. The intense blue is not merely a color, it is a memory of sky and water, a depth that suggests vows and constellations, a devotion folded into mineral. The clarity is like a secret language, it is almost flawless to everyday sight, very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a private whisper tucked into the stone that proves its natural origin and gives it personality. Because there is no enhancement, the gem tells the unvarnished story of its origin, a truth that becomes part of the romance when you place it into a ring and into a life. In that setting the pear shape becomes a teardrop of joy, a comet of promise, a little ocean to carry a lifetime of small bright moments.

Let me paint for you the ways this sapphire will live once it is set, the practical poetry of a jewel that is both wearable and deeply expressive. As a 0.70 carat pear it sits with elegant restraint, long enough to flatter the hand and intimate enough to keep its secrets close, dimensions that allow for a variety of clasps and mountings while maintaining a whisper of presence on the finger. A mixed brilliant cut ensures scintillation with every turn, the excellent polish enhancing the sparkle so that candlelight and sunlight both play upon the facet planes, and the intense color means it will read as a rich blue whether set in warm gold or cool platinum. For an engagement it reads as a devotion that is both bold and discreet, for a commemorative piece it reads as a memory that is beautifully preserved, for an every day treasure it reads as a companion that will answer to your moods and to the light. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how a gemstone becomes story, and we invite you to imagine this sapphire set with hands that match its intention, carried forward into ordinary moments that are made luminous by a single, enduring blue.
