0.94 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This heart shaped Ceylon blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company weighs 0.94 carat and measures 6.11 x 6.75 x 2.99 mm, it is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle, it is transparent with a clarity grading of very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, it shows a medium intense color intensity with an excellent polish, and it is free of enhancement. Compared with classic Kashmir sapphires, which are prized for their deep velvety cornflower blue and rich saturation, this Sri Lanka stone leans toward a brighter, more luminous blue with a livelier tone, offering a fresher appearance on the finger while still retaining depth. Against Burmese stones from Myanmar, often darker and more royal in hue, this Ceylon gem reads as airier and more youthful, with a slight suggestion of violet that lifts the overall color rather than weighing it down. Compared with Madagascar sapphires that can vary widely and sometimes show greener or grayer undertones, this Ceylon piece maintains a purer blue clarity, and compared with Australian sapphires that tend toward inky, deep tones, and Montana sapphires that favor steel or teal notes, this heart shaped gem stands out for its cheerful medium intensity and superior transparency. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies scintillation in a way many traditional cuts do not, creating a lively play of light that enhances the Ceylon hue.

The combination of natural, untreated origin, eye level clarity, and excellent polish gives this sapphire a distinctive value proposition, it is rarer in the market to find Ceylon sapphires of this clean, transparent quality with no enhancement, many comparable stones have been heat treated to adjust tone and saturation which affects both appearance and long term value. For customers seeking an elegant balance of color and brilliance, this heart shape is ideal for a delicate engagement ring or a pendant that reads both romantic and modern, its 0.94 carat weight provides presence without overwhelming the design, while the mixed brilliant cut ensures exceptional fire compared with step or traditional facet patterns.
