0.88 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.88 carat Ceylon blue sapphire carries with it the appeal of centuries of gem lore, a gemstone shaped by the same ancient earth that supplied the courts and temples of old Sri Lanka. Sourced by The Natural Sapphire Company, this round stone measures 5.57 x 5.50 x 3.53 mm and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances lively sparkle with classic symmetry. Its vivid color intensity recalls the deep Mediterranean blues prized by royal jewelers, while an excellent polish ensures the surface reads bright and clear to the eye. Importantly this sapphire is unenhanced, no enhancement, a rarity in the market that preserves the stone s original character and the honest story of its origin.

What makes this stone unmistakable are the unique internal signatures that tell of its geological journey, inclusions that act as a natural fingerprint rather than a flaw. Under gentle scrutiny you will observe delicate silklike rutile needles that soften light and create a velvety glow, tiny mineral crystals that sit like stardust within the blue field, and discrete two phase pockets that capture minute reflections of the world around them. These features combine to produce a layered depth that changes with viewing angle and light, adding personality and life to the stone. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is very slightly included, which means the gem remains transparently beautiful yet undeniably natural. These inclusions also corroborate the Ceylon origin, a hallmark of Sri Lankan sapphires that many connoisseurs seek as proof of provenance and authenticity.

This sapphire is an invitation to craft a piece that speaks of continuity and legacy, suitable for an engagement ring meant to be worn and remembered, or a brooch and pendant intended for generations. The mixed brilliant cut ensures scintillation for everyday wear, while the stone s historic lineage and natural inclusions promise a story to be told at every glance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we welcome inquiries for detailed imagery and independent reports, and we stand behind the stone s unenhanced Ceylon origin and superior polish. Allow this exceptional, naturally marked sapphire to become a timeless heirloom, a link between ancient earth and contemporary devotion.
