0.75 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare moment of oceanic intensity is captured within this transparent 0.75 carat round blue sapphire, a gemstone that announces itself with a luminous, vivid blue hue and a clarity that is eye clean at viewing distance. Measuring 5.05 by 5.07 by 3.52 millimeters, this stone has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and light return, and it carries an excellent polish that allows its facets to sing with each movement. Originating from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire exhibits the island s signature vibrancy and lively tone, a pure expression of color that reads as both regal and effervescent. Heat treated to enhance its color and stability, this stone is prepared for lifelong wear, while retaining the natural character and provenance that discerning collectors prize, and it is presented with the assurance of The Natural Sapphire Company.

In hue and tone this Ceylon gem speaks a different language than sapphires from other famous locales, and those distinctions are the very things that make it desirable. Compared to a Kashmir sapphire, celebrated for its velvety cornflower blue and a sumptuous medium dark tone that seems to glow from within, this Ceylon stone is more lively and transparent, offering a brighter, more vivid blue that flashes with brilliance rather than the plush, whispering depth of Kashmir material. Against classic Burmese sapphires, which often present a richer, royal blue with intense saturation and a sometimes deeper, more closed tone, the Ceylon example reads as fresher and more luminous, its color leaning toward a vibrant, crystalline blue rather than the heavy, saturated blue typical of Burma. Madagascan sapphires can rival Sri Lanka in color purity and vividness, but Sri Lankan stones frequently carry a lighter, airier quality, a clarity that allows light to dance within the pavilion, and a blue that is at once both elegant and effusive. Australian sapphires tend toward a darker, inky navy with greenish undertones, and Montana sapphires favor steelier, more muted blues and teals, both of which place this Ceylon stone in a distinct class of clarity driven, vivid blue that is unmistakably luminous.

The craftsmanship of the mixed brilliant cut on this round gem is a study in proportion and performance, the pavilion facets calibrated to harness internal reflection while the crown facets deliver scintillation and fire. At 0.75 carat the stone commands presence without excess, an ideal size for a sophisticated solitaire or as a dazzling centerpiece flanked by diamonds, where its eye clean clarity will be admired without the need for magnification. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions, the kind of finish that turns everyday light into a cascade of playful flashes, emphasizing the vivid color intensity that sets Ceylon sapphires apart. Heat treatment is a long established, widely accepted enhancement in the trade, and in this instance it has been applied with care to stabilize and enrich the blue, producing a durable, enduring hue that will remain true through generations. As with every piece we offer, The Natural Sapphire Company sources and presents this gem with complete transparency and the kind of provenance narrative that collectors value most.
