0.71 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Ceylon, a land renowned for its storied past and vibrant landscapes, lies a rare treasure that has captivated the world for centuries—the blue sapphire. Our exquisite transparent 0.71-carat pear-shaped blue sapphire, elegantly cut to a dimension of 7.26 x 3.91 x 2.95 mm, is a testament to the beauty and elegance that Ceylonese sapphires are celebrated for. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are inspired by the profound legacy of gemstones like this one, whose heritage dates back to ancient times, cherished by royalty and revered in folklore.

This blue sapphire's captivating allure lies in its unique combination of classic design and the inherent brilliance that sets it apart from more common gemstones. Unlike the more ubiquitous diamonds, whose icy sparkle captivates through sheer scintillation, the blue sapphire enchants with its deep hues and subtle play of light. Its mixed brilliant cut is masterfully crafted to enhance its natural beauty, each facet reflecting a piece of history that resonates with those who value tradition and legacy. The medium intense color intensity ensures that it commands attention, drawing the observer into its depths with every glance.

Its clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, allowing the true beauty of the stone to shine without distraction. This clarity, coupled with an excellent polish, is reminiscent of the time-honored practice of meticulous lapidary work, where skilled artisans refine each stone to the pinnacle of its potential. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we honor these traditions, preserving the ancient techniques while marrying them with modern innovations to produce gems of unparalleled quality.

The lush landscapes of Sri Lanka—or Ceylon, as known in antiquity—have produced some of the most breathtaking sapphires known to man. These gemstones, steeped in history, have adorned the crowns and jewels of kings and queens, becoming emblematic of wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. Our sapphire, with its intense azure hue, is a direct descendant of this illustrious heritage. It represents not only the beauty of nature but the craftsmanship and legacy that is unique to gemstones with such an enduring origin.

When one chooses a gemstone from The Natural Sapphire Company, they do not merely select a piece of jewelry. They embrace a piece of history that will continue to narrate tales of grandeur and elegance for generations. Our 0.71-carat blue sapphire, with its rich backstory and inherent beauty, remains timeless, a gem that stands apart not just for its brilliance but for its connection to the past, securing its place as a luminous relic in the ever-changing tapestry of time.
