0.77 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape blue sapphire weighs 0.77 carat and measures 6.77 x 5.06 x 3.26 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return and face up brilliance. Compared to many market options, this stone offers a rare balance of transparency and softly luminous color, coming from Ceylon Sri Lanka where sapphires are celebrated for their lively tone. The clarity is very slightly included at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the gem's sparkle or overall appearance. The light color intensity gives this sapphire a delicate, wearable blue that reads beautifully day to day, while the excellent polish elevates the surface luster beyond standard commercial finishes. Many stones on the market sacrifice cut quality or clarity for carat weight, but this sapphire demonstrates that careful cutting and finishing produce superior visual impact even at a modest carat size. Heat treatment is noted, which is a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves color without compromising structural integrity, making this gem both a practical and an attractive choice when compared to untreated stones that may have uneven color or less appeal.

When considering durability for daily wear, sapphires are among the best choices, registering nine on the Mohs hardness scale and offering exceptional resistance to scratching and abrasion compared to almost all other colored gems. This Ceylon sapphire combines that natural toughness with a solid cutting and polish, which together reduce the risk of chipping along facets and maintain a lasting sparkle in rings and pendants that see everyday use. The mixed brilliant cut helps distribute light and minimize the visual impact of any minor inclusions, preserving beauty under typical wear. Against other popular alternatives, emeralds can be more brittle and require more care, and topaz and quartz are significantly softer, making this sapphire a superior option for engagement rings and frequently worn pieces. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select and finish stones to offer durability, transparency, and a pleasing natural hue, giving you a gemstone that not only stands up to daily life but also delivers enduring value and distinctive Ceylon personality.
