1.00 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones, and then there are singular treasures that arrive so rarely they immediately elevate any collection, any setting, any moment they touch. This is one such treasure, a beautiful transparent 1.00 carat oval shape blue sapphire with dimensions of 6.56 x 5.43 x 3.21 mm, a stone whose combination of clarity, cut, and provenance places it in a category few will ever have the opportunity to own. At The Natural Sapphire Company we have long seen how the very finest examples define what is possible for sapphire connoisseurs, and this sapphire embodies that promise. Its mixed brilliant cut allows for dynamic fire and scintillation, its excellent polish delivers a surface finish that maximizes light return, and its overall presence is refined and singular. Availability is inherently limited, because sapphires of this exact proportion and quality rarely occur in nature, and when they do they are quickly sought by collectors and makers of bespoke jewelry who understand that owning one is to join an exclusive circle.

Look closely and you will appreciate the details that distinguish this gem from more common alternatives. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads as visually clean, without the visual distractions that diminish brilliance in many stones at this size. The color intensity is described as very light, a characteristic that when found in Ceylon Sri Lanka sapphires is deeply prized for its soft, elegant, and ethereal blue, a hue that captures light in a way darker stones cannot. This is not a pale or washed out specimen, rather it is a delicately nuanced blue that speaks of provenance and tradition, of the renowned Sri Lankan lapidary heritage that yields sapphires with clarity and a crystalline purity often absent in other sources. Heat treatment has been applied, a customary and stable enhancement that brings harmony to the tone and saturation while preserving the inherent natural character. Compared to similar 1.00 carat stones, which may present heavier inclusions, denser color concentration, or less refined finish, this sapphire stands apart through its combination of transparency, cut quality, and the signature Ceylon light blue that is so sought after by discerning buyers.

For those who seek rarity in both size and color, this stone represents a rare alignment of desirable attributes. Ovals at this carat weight with mixed brilliant cutting and such exceptional polish are already less common than round brilliants, because their proportions must be exact to achieve optimal brilliance and face up measurements. Add to that the very light Ceylon blue tone, and the result is an object both intimate and distinct, suitable for settings where the sapphire is the central narrative rather than a background accent. It wears with quiet confidence, catching and channeling light with a subtlety that invites repeated examination. Imagine it set in a handcrafted ring or pendant, the stone playing with daylight and evening illumination, revealing its depth and the slight internal character that attests to its natural origin. Owning this sapphire is to own a piece that is rarely offered to the market, a gem whose very nature confers exclusivity, and whose provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds a lineage of craftsmanship and esteem.
