0.87 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a jewel that feels like a secret that only you and the world share, a jewel that captures the deep blue of a twilight sky, and holds it close enough to make every heartbeat feel like a celebration. This is a transparent 0.87 carat round blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, with precise dimensions of 5.72 by 5.67 by 3.67 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut that sings with light, vivid color intensity that arrests the eye, and an excellent polish that allows each facet to whisper brilliance. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the stone has been heat treated to reveal and stabilize its ideal hue. Among similar options this particular combination of size and saturated, vivid Ceylon blue is exceptionally rare, because most sapphires in this near one carat range tend to trade off depth of color for size, or struggle with windowing and muted tone. At The Natural Sapphire Company we seek gems that do not compromise, gems that deliver a fuller, more emotional experience, and this sapphire feels like a discovery you will treasure for a lifetime.

Think of the moment you present this stone to someone you love, or of the day you slide it into a setting that will be worn for decades, and imagine the way the light will dance across that mixed brilliant cut, how the vivid blue will glow against skin, and how the excellent polish will lend a mirror like finish to every gesture. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen for its ability to marry the fire of a brilliant with the depth of a step influenced pavilion, giving this sapphire a lively sparkle while preserving a velvety, saturated body color. Many stones in this size class appear either too pale under indoor lighting, or they show inclusions that interrupt the visual flow, however this sapphire presents an unusually strong, saturated hue, and very slight inclusions that do not detract from its visual purity at normal viewing distance. For those who seek rarity, a vivid Ceylon blue at 0.87 carat is a rare find, and for those who seek emotion, this gem has the capacity to become the memory that marks an anniversary, a promise, or a quietly monumental everyday luxury.

When you choose this sapphire you will be choosing more than a gemstone, you will be choosing a story of provenance, care, and expertise from The Natural Sapphire Company, and you will be choosing a stone that stands out among its peers for color, cut, clarity perception, and finishing. Heat treatment is a longstanding, stable enhancement used to bring out the most flattering and lasting color in fine sapphires, and when combined with expert cutting and meticulous polish the result is a gem that will reward thoughtful settings and gentle daily wear. Consider a classic solitaire to allow the vivid blue to command attention, or a delicate halo to add a whisper of additional fire while letting the core color remain the star. We are here to advise on metal choices, prong design, and setting depth to optimize the way this 5.72 by 5.67 by 3.67 millimeter round sapphire sits and sparkles, because a stone this rare in its balance of size and color deserves a custom approach that honors its individuality. Let this sapphire be the joy that arrives on a special day, the quiet pride that accompanies daily moments, and the radiant beginning of a story that only grows more precious with time.
