1.02 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gems that are seen, and then there are gems that are sought after by those who understand true rarity, and this is one such stone. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this is a beautiful transparent blue sapphire in a refined marquise shape, weighing 1.02 carats, a weight that immediately places it in the sweet spot between wearable elegance and collectible significance. Sourced from Ceylon, a name synonymous with legendary sapphires, this stone arrives to you unenhanced, a genuine expression of nature preserved in crystal form. The mixed brilliant cut lends a scintillating life to every facet, and the excellent polish ensures that light dances across the surface with a clarity and intensity that are unmistakable. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade reads very very slightly included, an affirmation of the gem's purity to ordinary observation, and together with its vivid color intensity this sapphire presents a rarity that is increasingly scarce in today s market.

The heart of this sapphire s prestige is anchored by its 1.02 carat weight, a number that speaks to both the tactile presence of the gem and its premium market standing. One carat plus stones in the marquise profile are especially prized for their ability to read larger on the finger, and this sapphire measures 10.25 by 4.39 by 2.83 millimeters, dimensions that create an elegant silhouette with a commanding yet refined profile. The marquise shape elongates the finger and offers a dramatic linear beauty, while the mixed brilliant cut works to maximize both depth of color and brilliance, so the gem appears saturated without losing the lively sparkle that collectors and connoisseurs demand. In a world where treatment and enhancement are common, the fact that this stone is free from enhancement elevates its value further, and the precise 1.02 carat weight tells a discerning buyer that this is a premium quality sapphire meant for those who seek authenticity alongside beauty.

Owning a sapphire of this character is less about following fashion, and more about joining a select group of individuals who prioritize provenance, condition, and enduring allure. The very very slightly included clarity, as assessed at eye level, means the stone reads as eye clean to most observers, a quality that complements its vivid color intensity and excellent polish. For those commissioning a bespoke piece, the gem adapts gracefully to a variety of settings, whether set lengthwise in a sleek solitaire to showcase its marquise silhouette, turned east west for modern refinement, or surrounded by a diamond halo to enhance perceived size and brilliance. The blue tone, vivid yet pure, pairs exquisitely with platinum for cool elegance, and with warm yellow gold for a classic, heirloom feel. At 1.02 carats this sapphire offers a rare balance, substantial enough to be a focal point, yet versatile enough to be worn daily, making it a jewel that both dazzles and endures.
