1.02 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape blue sapphire is a rare and singular offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, a gem that speaks to connoisseurs who understand that true rarity is defined not only by beauty, but by authenticity. We present a transparent 1.02 carat stone, precisely measured at 9.10 x 5.22 x 2.79 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant standard that produces a lively play of light across its elongated silhouette. The medium color intensity reveals a refined cornflower to silvery blue that is unmistakably Ceylon in character, a hue that carries both freshness and depth. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, an exceptional balance that permits the stone to remain brilliantly clean to the observer while retaining natural signatures that confirm its origin. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, this sapphire offers the purity of an untreated Ceylon gem, a distinction that a discerning collector will immediately appreciate. Because unenhanced sapphires of this size and shape are seldom available, this piece occupies a rare stratum of the market, a jewel that will not reappear on a whim.

When set in jewelry, the blue of this pear shape sapphire becomes an alchemist of tone, flattering a spectrum of complexions with effortless versatility. On fair skin with cool undertones the stone reads as a luminous cornflower blue, creating a crisp, elegant contrast that brightens the face and lends a refined, sophisticated air. For those with warm fair skin, the sapphire’s silvery blue lean softens toward a gentle periwinkle that complements rather than competes with warm highlights, resulting in a harmonious, understated glamour. Medium and olive skin tones unlock the stone’s richer blue facets, where the color deepens just enough to create a vivid, flattering statement, making ring or pendant settings look as if they were crafted to sit naturally against the wearer. On deeper skin tones the medium intensity of the sapphire produces an exquisite interplay between light and shade, the gem’s blue appearing both vibrant and regal, a jewel that asserts presence without overwhelming the wearer. Beyond complexion categories, the stone’s mixed brilliant cut and pear shape offer dynamic reflections that adapt to movement and light, ensuring that whether viewed under daylight, evening light, or the softer glow of candlelight, the color remains compelling and versatile.

This sapphire is ideal for a bespoke commission, imagined for the client who desires exclusivity and craftsmanship. Envision it set as a solitaire pendant to accent a décolletage, or as the centerpiece of an asymmetric ring design that elongates the finger, or as an elegant drop for heirloom earrings, each setting engineered to highlight the stone’s natural luster and poise. The pear silhouette invites elegant mountings that can either emphasize its delicate refinement with a slender bezel, or amplify its prestige with a halo of complementary stones, the unenhanced Ceylon blue remaining the unquestioned focal point. When designed by The Natural Sapphire Company’s gem specialists and partners, each setting is treated as a bespoke project, with careful consideration given to metal color, prong style, and the interplay between surrounding gems and the sapphire’s inherent tone. Choosing white metals emphasizes the stone’s cooler, crystalline aspects, while warm metals add contrast and depth, bringing forward subtle warm flashes within the stone. Our clients who join this small circle gain more than an object, they gain a story, a provenance, and the assurance that their sapphire is an original expression of nature rather than a mass produced commodity.
