0.99 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Discover a rare opportunity to own a superior Ceylon blue sapphire that delivers both immediate visual impact and exceptional versatility for custom jewelry. This transparent 0.99 carat pear shape blue sapphire measures 7.96 x 4.54 x 3.56 mm, a size that reads like a true near one carat classic while offering the elegant proportions jewelers value for bespoke settings. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize light return, producing scintillation and depth that change with every movement. The color intensity is listed as intense, and the hue carries the signature vibrant blue associated with fine Ceylon sapphires from Sri Lanka. Clarity is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level which means the gem presents as eye clean to most wearers while retaining natural character under magnification. The polish is excellent, creating smooth facet junctions and clean reflections, and the stone has been heat treated according to standard industry practice to stabilize and enhance its color. At The Natural Sapphire Company we source and present sapphires that marry beauty and reliability, and this stone exemplifies that commitment.

For anyone envisioning a custom engagement ring or a singular collector piece this pear shaped sapphire is an ideal starting point. The elongated teardrop silhouette flatters the hand, creating a visually lengthening effect when set as a center stone in a solitaire or halo design. With a length close to 8 mm and a width just over 4.5 mm jewelers can craft settings that emphasize the pointed end for a tapered, modern look, or orient the stone conversely for a softer pear on the nail appearance. The near one carat weight means the gem offers presence without overwhelming practical everyday settings, and it adapts beautifully to a range of styles including bezel settings that protect the girdle, three stone arrangements that pair smaller side stones for added brilliance, and bespoke vintage inspired mounts that frame the stone with milgrain and filigree. The mixed brilliant cut delivers concentrated sparkle from the pavilion facets, so open prong settings work especially well to allow light to enter and showcase the intense Ceylon blue. Because the clarity is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level the stone reads as clean in open designs and will appear vivid when placed against either warm yellow gold for a dramatic contrast, or cool platinum and white gold for a crisp contemporary statement.

Collectors and couples in search of a single perfect gem will find this sapphire answers both aesthetic and practical needs with confidence. Its origin in Sri Lanka connects it to a long pedigree of fine sapphires known for lively blues and good saturation, and the heat treatment is a stable, widely accepted enhancement that intensifies the stone’s vivid color while preserving its natural structure. When you design with this gem you are choosing a balanced combination of factors that jewelers prize, including exacting dimensions for predictable setting, a mixed brilliant cut for lively performance, and excellent polish for an effortless finish. At The Natural Sapphire Company we assist clients in translating these attributes into finished jewelry that fits personal style and daily life, whether you are creating an engagement ring meant to be worn every day, a pendant that becomes a signature piece, or a pair of custom earrings for special occasions. Reach out to our design team and we will guide you through metal choices, mounting styles, and setting details to ensure the final piece protects and amplifies the sapphire’s natural splendor. This pear shaped 0.99 carat Ceylon blue sapphire is the kind of gem where the search concludes, and where the next chapter begins with a one of a kind creation made just for you.
