0.85 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Sapphire Company proudly presents an exquisite 0.85 carat round blue sapphire, originating from the renowned gem-rich terrains of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Known for producing some of the most dazzling and superior-quality sapphires, Ceylon's mines continue to captivate with their ability to yield such remarkable gemstones. This sapphire, with dimensions measuring 5.87 x 5.89 x 3.40 millimeters, embodies both precision in its crafting and brilliance in its nature, making it a gemstone that stands out in any setting.

The sapphire's clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, indicates that it is very slightly included, providing an enchanting view into the stone's pure interior without significant obstructions to brilliance. This feature is critical as it ensures that the gemstone emanates clarity without undermining its natural beauty and value with notable inclusions. Compared to sapphires from other illustrious regions such as Kashmir’s famed cornflower blue or Madagascar’s deep, velvet hues, the medium intense color intensity of this Ceylon sapphire is strikingly vibrant yet classically serene, offering a unique balance between deep saturation and lively brightness.

Its mixed brilliant cut optimizes the reflection and refraction of light, enhancing the sapphire’s innate ability to sparkle. The meticulous cutting technique results in a kaleidoscope of light, captivating onlookers much like the famed diamonds from South African mines, yet doing so with the distinct allure attributed to blue sapphires. The facets are polished to an exceptional standard, ensuring that the surface of the gemstone does not diminish the vividness of its striking blue coloration or compromise the sophisticated interaction with light.

Contrasting against other major sapphire locales—such as the Australian sapphires known for their more muted colors and American sapphires which can carry a slight greenish tone—this Ceylon sapphire holds its own with a royal blue hue that demands attention. The tonal quality of this gemstone is both deep and clear, reminiscent of the serene waters encircling its island of origin. This illustrates not only the quality synonymous with The Natural Sapphire Company but also a testament to the purposeful selection of each gemstone we offer, favoring those that exude both geographic heritage and exquisite allure.

Such a charming sapphire is ideal for those seeking to celebrate a momentous occasion with a gemstone that has both historical significance and unparalleled beauty. The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to deliver such a fine example of nature's artistry, beautifully encapsulated in this round blue sapphire from Ceylon. It represents the perfect synthesis of nature's design and human craftsmanship, elevating any piece of jewelry to which it is added. Whether destined for a bespoke ring or a celebrated necklace, this sapphire will undoubtedly shine in any cherished collection.
