0.93 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a small, perfect ocean held in a hand, a 0.93 carat oval shape blue sapphire that seems to breathe with the calm of a seaside dawn, a gem offered with care by The Natural Sapphire Company. This stone measures 6.06 by 5.13 by 3.84 mm, its proportions tuned to a mixed brilliant cut that balances lively fire with gentle depth. It is transparent, its clarity described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the eye is invited rather than interrupted, a whisper of natural character beneath a surface of excellent polish. The color is a light blue, a soft and luminous intensity that speaks of Ceylonan skies, the origin of this sapphire traced to Sri Lanka, a land famous for its timeless sapphires. There is no enhancement, just nature and skilled cutting, an honest and unfettered gem whose facets were coaxed to sing. Mention must be made too of a companion presence in imagination and design, the White Opal, whose pearly, vaporous flashes can be paired as a halo or a tender accent, its opalescence courting the sapphires blue like moonlight on still water.

Think of how this gem will perform as the world moves through light, how it will change like a small living thing that reflects love back to the beholder. In bright midday sun the mixed brilliant cut scatters clean, crystalline white highlights and a soft, sheltering blue that reads as a cool, luminous cornflower, the table delivering pools of color while the pavilion facets send sparks through the heart of the stone. Under warm incandescent or candlelight the sapphire becomes intimate and shy, the light turns to honey and the light blue takes on a softer, dreamier tone, the facets glowing with a quiet warmth that makes it perfect for evening vows and whispered promises. Under LED and gallery lighting the precision of the cut reveals itself, scintillation dancing with every movement, smaller bright flashes that travel across the surface like laughter. Fluorescent light will emphasize the stones purity and transparency, bringing out the pale intensity without overpowering it, while moonlight and lamplight will render the blue like a memory, pale and deep at once, inviting touch and lingering gaze.

Wear it, set it, make of this sapphire a story that is worn and told, a jewel that pairs exquisitely with White Opal for a setting that balances cool clarity with ethereal fire. Imagine a slender band of polished platinum or warm rose gold embracing the oval, the mixed brilliant cut offering a chorus of light with each tilt of the hand, the very very slight inclusions a proof of the earths hand in its making, not flaws but fingerprints of origin. The excellent polish ensures every facet reads cleanly, every reflection is crisp, and the absence of enhancement guarantees that the stones whisper is wholly natural, a genuine Ceylon voice. At 0.93 carat the presence on a finger is quietly assured, intimate yet visible, a companion for the tender and the bold alike. If you seek a center that is soft and sophisticated, that will play with sunlight, candlelight, and moonlight with equal poetry, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready, a little sky to carry with you, and it sits beautifully beside a White Opal that will soften edges and add a pearly halo to your forever.
