1.01 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the Indian Ocean, the island of Ceylon—now known as Sri Lanka—has been renowned for producing some of the world's most exquisite gemstones for centuries. Among these treasures, the blue sapphire stands out as a beacon of nature's brilliance and opulence. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to offer a stunning specimen of this extraordinary gemstone that embodies both the timeless beauty and the rich cultural heritage of its origin. Our featured blue sapphire, with its mesmerizing pear shape and eye-clean clarity, captivates the beholder with its enchanting medium intense color, truly making it a masterpiece of nature.

This particular 1.01 carat blue sapphire measures 8.69 x 4.55 x 3.46 mm and is crafted with a mixed brilliant cut. This sophisticated cut enhances its inherent brilliance and fire, allowing the stone to glisten under any light. The polish is of excellent quality, ensuring a surface that mirrors its exceptional internal beauty. Its Ceylon origin imbues it with a storied history, as these sapphires have been prized for their ethereal beauty and have adorned the crowns of royalty and masterminds of fashion alike. The blue hues of this sapphire are reminiscent of the deep and tranquil ocean, evoking feelings of serenity and strength, qualities that have long been associated with this regal gem.

When contemplating a custom piece, imagine pairing this sublime blue sapphire with complementary gemstones that enhance its natural allure. Consider the warmth of brilliant white diamonds or the subtle verdant glow of emerald accents. These choices create a breathtaking contrast that highlights the rich, blue depths of the sapphire. Oval and pear-shaped diamonds can form an elegant halo around the central sapphire, creating a magnificent display that sparkles with each movement. With this combination, the necklace or ring would serve as not only a testament to tradition but also as a modern marvel that would turn heads in any room from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations.

Alternatively, a symphony of colored gemstones alongside this blue sapphire offers another avenue for artistic expressions. Imagine the soft pinks of morganite or the pastel elegance of aquamarine, each lending their subtle hues to amplify the sapphire's resplendence. The arrangement of these gems permits a bespoke creation that speaks to personal styles while honoring classic elegance. A handcrafted bracelet or ring adorned with these complementary gems would transcend mere ornamentation, becoming a narrative piece that echoes tales of the magnificent Orient and timeless beauty that knows no bounds.
