0.80 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This blue sapphire begins its story deep in the storied gem gravels of Ceylon, where generations of miners have long coaxed luminous corundum from the earth, and where our gemologists at The Natural Sapphire Company first spotted this rare, transparent treasure. At 0.80 carat and measuring 5.43 by 4.41 by 3.33 millimeters, this emerald cut stone carries the calm confidence of Sri Lankan blue, a dark color intensity that draws the eye into a velvet depth. Cut into a precise emerald facet arrangement, the stone returns light with an elegant, architectural clarity, while an excellent polish gives each facet a mirror sharpness. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, this sapphire reads as clean and clear to the viewer, its small natural inclusions certifying its authenticity and origin. Importantly, this gem is free of enhancement, no heat or other treatment has altered its beauty, so the color and character you see are those the earth and time have given it.

Beyond its provenance and beauty, this sapphire is built for everyday life. As corundum, sapphire rates a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, and that intrinsic hardness makes it highly resistant to scratching and abrasion during daily wear. Its toughness also stands up to the small knocks and rubs of an active life, and the stable, natural color of an unenhanced Ceylon sapphire resists fading with normal exposure and care. The emerald cut itself offers protective geometry, the clean lines fitting well into bezel or low profile prong settings that further shield the stone for continuous wear. Because of its compact proportions and excellent polish, it balances sparkle and practicality for rings, pendants, or refined stud settings. When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing a gem with a clear story from mine to master cutter, a gem that is as durable as it is beautiful, and a gem prepared to become a lasting part of your daily jewelry rotation. If you would like guidance on settings that maximize protection and presence, our team is ready to help you design a piece that honors this stone’s journey and endures for years.
