1.01 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that adorn, and then there are gemstones that define. This exquisite transparent blue sapphire, weighing 1.01 carat, is a rare example of the latter, a perfectly round gem that measures 6.04 by 6.04 by 3.83 mm and is finished in a mixed brilliant cut that marries classic proportions with modern radiance. Its medium intense color emanates the storied blues of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a hue that is deep enough to convey gravitas and clarity enough to feel luminous at every angle. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, the clarity complements rather than competes with the stone s natural presence, and the excellent polish allows each facet to sing. Importantly, this sapphire has received no enhancement, making its color and clarity an honest expression of the earth s secrets, a fact that distinguishes it as a true natural treasure from the collection of The Natural Sapphire Company.

To behold this sapphire is to experience a conversation between light and form, where the mixed brilliant cut orchestrates a scintillating performance. The crown and pavilion facets are balanced to return light with vitality, producing flashes of blue that shift from cornflower to a deeper oceanic tone as the stone moves. Its transparent body offers depth without heaviness, and the precise cutting ensures that the face up appearance is both lively and refined. The pleasing proportions measured in its millimeters create a sense of presence on the finger or pendant, a size that is at once discreet and unmistakably luxurious. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a mirror like finish that speaks to meticulous lapidary skill, a finish that enhances both brilliance and tactile pleasure.

Beyond its immediate sensual appeal, this sapphire represents a considered investment in beauty and craftsmanship. Ceylon Sri Lanka has long been celebrated for producing some of the world s most elegant blue sapphires, and this gem carries that lineage with authenticity because it is untreated, preserved in the state nature intended. A stone of such provenance and condition is inherently more desirable to connoisseurs and collectors who value rarity and transparency in origin. The very slightly included clarity, when paired with the medium intense color and exceptional cut, offers an enduring balance between character and perfection, a balance that tends to age gracefully both in market value and in the esteem of those who wear it. When you choose this sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company, you choose rigorous evaluation, ethical sourcing, and a commitment to presenting jewels that are as honest as they are beautiful.
