0.77 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 0.77 carat oval shape blue sapphire, measuring 4.90 x 4.53 x 4.14 millimeters, has been selected for collectors who value natural color and integrity. This gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, a choice that brings the sparkle of a brilliant cut to the body of the stone while preserving face up depth and table brilliance, delivering a lively play of light in a classic oval silhouette. Its clarity is described as very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the naked eye while still retaining the character of a natural sapphire. The color intensity is intense, a saturated blue that sits between vivid and deep, offering the visual impact people seek in fine sapphires. The polish is excellent, so each facet returns light cleanly and consistently, and importantly, there has been no enhancement, the sapphire is natural and untreated. The origin of this stone is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for producing sapphires with a particular clarity and tone, and this specific sapphire captures that provenance in its hue and internal structure.

Compared to the many options on the market, this Ceylon sapphire stands apart in several practical and perceptual ways. Many sapphires available at similar sizes have undergone heating or other treatments to intensify color or clarify inclusions, and while those stones can be attractive and affordable, they do not carry the same story as an untreated gem. Untreated sapphires with intense color are rarer, and rarity translates to lasting value for collectors and for pieces intended as heirloom jewelry. Compared with lab grown sapphires, which are often uniform and predictable, a natural Ceylon stone offers subtle variations and a depth that collectors describe as soul or provenance. In terms of cut, the mixed brilliant approach used on this oval emphasizes scintillation and brilliance more than a purely step cut would, and it is more flattering in everyday jewelry than cuts that sacrifice face up color for internal reflections. When you weigh clarity versus intensity, this sapphire balances both with very very slight inclusions that do not distract from the intense blue, making it a superior choice for someone who wants both visible purity and verifiable natural origin.

For the conscious consumer, the way a gem is sourced matters as much as its optical qualities, and that is where this sapphire embodies thoughtful choice. The Natural Sapphire Company has built long term relationships with miners and lapidaries in Sri Lanka and elsewhere, focusing on traceability and responsible procurement practices, and this stone arrives with the clarity of origin that ethical buyers seek. Choosing this Ceylon sapphire supports a supply chain that prioritizes fair compensation and sustainable mining practices, and because the gem is natural and untreated, there is no additional chemical processing or alteration involved. This reduces the downstream environmental impact associated with some enhancement procedures, and it preserves the gem in the form nature intended. For buyers who curate a conscious jewelry collection, owning an untreated, traceable Ceylon sapphire connects you directly to a known source, enhancing the personal and ethical narrative of each piece you choose to wear or pass on.

When considering value, durability, and style, this 0.77 carat Ceylon sapphire offers a compelling proposition that outperforms many alternatives in the mid market range. Corundum, the mineral family that includes sapphire, is second only to diamond in hardness, so this sapphire is suited to daily wear in an engagement ring or a frequently worn pendant, while maintaining its polish and faceting over time. Because it is untreated and intensely colored at face up view, it promises not only immediate visual impact but also a stable market position for future resale or appraisal. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide guidance on settings that maximize the stone engineering, for example a low bezel for protection without losing face up color, or a classic prong mount that lets light animate the mixed brilliant facets. For customers who want a gemstone that aligns with ethical priorities, offers rarity relative to treated stones, and delivers enduring beauty and performance, this Ceylon sapphire is a superior choice.
