0.86 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for the perfect sapphire to mark a life milestone or to add a rare gem to a curated collection, this 0.86 carat round blue sapphire answers the call with timeless elegance and confident provenance. Transparent and luminous, this gem measures 5.68 x 5.66 x 3.44 mm, presenting a pleasing round silhouette that adapts beautifully to a wide variety of settings, from a classic solitaire engagement ring to a discreet, high end pendant for everyday wear. The mixed brilliant cut has been expertly executed to balance scintillation and depth, allowing the medium intense blue color to sing under both natural daylight and warm evening illumination. Clarity has been graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to the eye while retaining the natural character collectors value. The polish is excellent, ensuring smooth facets and strong light return, and importantly this sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, directly from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for delivering sapphires with lively blue tones and respected provenance.

Your desire for a gem that combines immediate beauty with lasting meaning is precisely what this sapphire fulfills, because it is easy to set, visually impactful, and versatile across styles and occasions. For an engagement ring the mixed brilliant cut provides lively scintillation that complements prong settings as well as bezel styles, while the near one carat weight creates presence without overpowering proportionally delicate hand sizes. For collectors or investors who prefer stones that tell a story, the Ceylon origin adds desirable geographic distinction, and the untreated nature of the stone preserves both its visual integrity and its market desirability. The excellent polish and the very very slightly included clarity mean that the piece will wear well over time, maintaining luster and sparkle, and the round shape is universally flattering and enduring, avoiding trends that might date your purchase.

When considering gemstones as an investment, provenance, rarity, and natural state are key determinants of future appreciation, and this sapphire performs strongly on each of those metrics. Natural, untreated sapphires from Ceylon have a long history of commanding premium interest from collectors and connoisseurs, because they combine appealing color with traceable origin and minimal human alteration. Global demand for high quality, untreated colored gemstones has been firm, as investors seek tangible assets that are portable, durable, and historically resilient in value. The medium intense blue color of this stone places it in a sweet spot where desirability meets accessibility, and the excellent polish and near impeccable eye level clarity enhance marketability in both private sales and auction settings. Even modest sized stones can appreciate significantly if they possess exceptional quality attributes and clear documentation, because rarity is not solely about size, but about the confluence of color, clarity, cut, and treatment status. Owning a well documented, untreated Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company means you are holding a gem that benefits from traceable origins, expert grading, and ethical sourcing, factors that increasingly influence premium in resale markets and that support long term appreciation.
