0.89 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a deep and enduring story behind this exquisite pear shape bluish green sapphire that begins in the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka and continues through the ages into the present with timeless elegance. At 0.89 carat, with dimensions of 5.76 x 6.13 x 3.37 mm, this gem carries a presence that is both intimate and unmistakable. The pear shape is a classical form that has been treasured since antiquity for its graceful silhouette, a shape that suggests both a teardrop of the ocean and the soft point of a leaf. Mined in the historic soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing some of the most admired sapphires in history, this stone embodies the geographic heritage that has inspired jewelers and collectors for centuries. As a representative of The Natural Sapphire Company I am proud to present this gem as a bridge between past and future, a jewel that honors tradition while remaining perfectly suited to modern designs.

The cut and finish of this sapphire reveal the skill of experienced cutters who sought to balance maximum color and light return. It features a mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes scintillation with the pear silhouette, and an excellent polish that allows every facet to sing when it meets light. The clarity is graded as slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem has natural inclusions that are visible only upon close inspection and that do not detract from its essential beauty. Its color intensity is classified as intense, a hue that sits between blue and green to create a bluish green character that changes subtly as you view it from different angles and under different lighting. As with many fine Ceylon sapphires this stone has been heat treated to enhance clarity and color stability, a widely accepted enhancement that improves appearance while preserving provenance and value. The combination of expert cutting, excellent polish, and thoughtful enhancement produces a gem that feels alive, with depth and movement that reward repeated admiration.

Color plays a defining role in how a sapphire complements a wearer, and this bluish green sapphire is particularly versatile in that regard. On fair and porcelain skin tones the stone reads as a fresh oceanic blue green that provides a striking contrast, bringing clarity to the hand without overwhelming delicate coloring. For warmer fair complexions with peachy undertones the bluish green takes on a slightly greener warmth that harmonizes with those tones, creating a gentle balance. On medium and olive skin tones the sapphire truly sings as its bluish notes brighten and its green undertones deepen, offering a jewel tone that appears both rich and natural against neutral skin. For deeper and dark skin tones the gem achieves a dramatic and majestic effect, with intense color showing as a luminous oceanic jewel that highlights the skin and creates high impact. Choosing the metal setting will further refine this interaction. Yellow gold will warm the sapphire and emphasize its green facets, white gold or platinum will lend cool elegance and enhance the sapphire aspect of its color, and rose gold will introduce a soft romantic contrast that can make the bluish components appear more vivid. A simple solitaire setting will allow the color to command attention, while a halo of small white diamonds will add sparkle and a perceived increase in size while framing the bluish green hue with classic brilliance.

Beyond its immediate beauty this sapphire is an invitation to own something lasting and heirloom worthy. The pear shape and intense color make it adaptable to a range of timeless designs from classic engagement rings to pendant drops and bespoke earrings. At The Natural Sapphire Company we appreciate the desire to pair provenance with artistry, and we are available to assist with setting suggestions that will protect and showcase this gem for generations. This stone responds beautifully to secure settings that protect the pointed tip of the pear shape while exposing the crown to light, and to choices in metal that either complement the blue green duality or create deliberate contrast. Routine care is straightforward and consistent with fine sapphires, and with proper setting and maintenance this gem will continue to display its intense color and excellent polish for many years. If you are considering a design that will make this Ceylon sapphire the centerpiece of a personal legacy we would welcome the opportunity to guide you through design options and to ensure the finished piece speaks to both heritage and modern taste.
