0.87 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Exclusivity begins with provenance and is sealed by beauty, and this superb Sri Lankan treasure from The Natural Sapphire Company embodies that rare combination. This is a transparent 0.87 carat oval blue sapphire, precisely measured at 6.95 by 4.65 by 3.30 millimeters, faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. Its intense color intensity gives a rich blue that plays between royal and cornflower tones depending on light, and the excellent polish ensures surfaces that flash and return light with a lively, refined pulse. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone reads clean and luminous to the wearer while retaining the subtle internal fingerprint that testifies to natural formation. Enhancement is heat treated, a longstanding, stable, and accepted practice that optimizes color and clarity without altering the stone s natural origin, and the gem s source in Ceylon Sri Lanka roots it in one of the world s most celebrated sapphire districts known for color and character. The proportions and mixed brilliant faceting create a gem that sits beautifully in delicate rings or bespoke pendants, and when set it offers both intimate brilliance and unmistakable presence for someone who values the exceptional.

When you compare this natural Ceylon sapphire to lab grown alternatives the distinctions go beyond chemistry into story, rarity, and long term value. Lab grown sapphires can be perfectly uniform, often offering competitive initial cost and flawless appearances, but they lack the singular geological history that gives a natural stone its soul. The very slightly included features in this sapphire are not imperfections to be hidden, but a unique internal map created by millions of years of earth processes, a fingerprint no laboratory can reproduce. Natural sapphires, especially from storied origins like Ceylon, are finite and unpredictable in supply, which makes them inherently rarer and more collectible over time, while lab created stones are reproducible and therefore lack the scarcity that drives collector markets. Heat treatment in natural sapphires is widely recognized by gemmologists and the trade as an enhancement that improves beauty while preserving natural origin, and many connoisseurs prefer the nuanced color complexity that results from natural crystallization plus thoughtful enhancement. Moreover natural stones often command stronger resale and heirloom value, are more likely to be sought by future generations of collectors, and carry a provenance that becomes part of the piece s narrative, a narrative The Natural Sapphire Company can document and help preserve.

Owning this 0.87 carat Ceylon sapphire places you among a select group of collectors and wearers who prize authenticity and story as much as visual allure, and The Natural Sapphire Company presents it as a singular opportunity for bespoke commissioning.
