1.02 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped bluish green sapphire offers an immediate and lasting first impression, combining classic form with a contemporary hue, and it stands apart from many stones available on the market today. At 1.02 carats and measuring 7.04 x 5.31 x 3.86 mm, this transparent gem strikes a rare balance between presence and wearability, large enough to read as a significant center stone while remaining perfectly suited to everyday jewelry. The mixed brilliant cut gives lively sparkle and scintillation, making the stone appear brighter and more dynamic in motion than many standard step cuts. Evaluated as eye clean at eye level, this sapphire presents a clean window into its color and cut without the worry of visible inclusions, a clarity level that elevates perceived luxury while keeping value accessible compared with stones that command premiums for flawless grades. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and heat treated to optimize hue and clarity, this sapphire offers the best of traditional provenance and modern enhancement standards, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer it as a stone that blends natural origin with responsible enhancement practices.

When comparing this sapphire to other options, several qualities justify its superior position for discerning buyers who want beauty, longevity, and value. The medium intense bluish green color occupies an elegant niche between classic blue sapphires and more trendy teal or green stones, which makes it a more versatile choice for those seeking something distinctive but not fleeting. Many market alternatives either push into heavily saturated colors that limit matching options, or they present pale hues that lack presence, while this sapphire maintains a refined intensity that works equally well in platinum or warm yellow gold settings. The pear shape is inherently more flattering on the finger and creates a focal point that draws the eye along its elegant taper, a quality that few round or generic shapes can match. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet edges and clean reflections, so the stone maintains sparkle comparable to higher priced examples, but because this sapphire is eye clean rather than internally flawless, it delivers exceptional visual performance without the premium cost of the rarest clarity grades.

Beyond immediate appearance, the long term value proposition of this sapphire makes it an especially wise investment compared to many commercial options. Sapphire ranks second only to diamond on the Mohs hardness scale, providing remarkable resistance to scratches and wear, which means a properly set sapphire will withstand daily life more faithfully than most colored gemstones. For families considering a piece that will move from generation to generation, that toughness translates directly into lower maintenance and fewer repair interventions over decades. The mixed brilliant cut contributes to the stone s brilliance without sacrificing durability, since the pavilion angles and facets are balanced to preserve depth and protect girdle integrity. Heat treatment is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and optimizes color in Sri Lankan sapphires, and when disclosed openly as we do at The Natural Sapphire Company, it enables buyers to obtain beautifully colored stones without paying the inflated premiums associated with wholly untreated material. This transparency and commitment to responsible sourcing position this sapphire as both a beautiful adornment and a prudent long term purchase.

To transform this sapphire into a true generational heirloom, consider how its physical attributes and story will endure through time and family narratives. The pear shape offers classic elegance that will not feel dated in decades, making it ideal for redesigns and resets as personal styles evolve, and the stone s 1.02 carat weight provides versatility for use as a solitaire engagement gem, a pendant center, or an accent in a cluster design, ensuring it can be adapted to suit future tastes. The eye clean clarity and excellent polish mean the stone will retain visual purity without extensive conservation, while the Sri Lankan origin gives a provenance that adds emotional and historical value, as Ceylon sapphires have long been prized for their distinctive and desirable hues. With appropriate settings and routine care from a trusted jeweler, this sapphire can be passed from one generation to the next with minimal risk of degradation, and it will carry with it the personal stories of proposals, anniversaries, and family milestones that transform material value into priceless heritage.

When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you receive more than a beautiful gemstone, you gain a partner that understands how to preserve and present heirloom quality. Our knowledge of cutting, color grading, and sourcing means we can advise on setting styles that protect the stone s integrity and showcase its unique bluish green tone for decades to come. We encourage investing in a supportive setting that protects the pointed end of the pear shape and secures the girdle, and to consider periodic professional checkups to ensure prongs and mountings remain sound. Over time, this sapphire will not only retain its physical beauty and structural resilience, it will accumulate the intangible value of family history, becoming a treasured object whose worth is measured in memories as much as in market terms. For collectors and families seeking a sapphire that blends exceptional visual appeal, practical durability, and provenance, this 1.02 carat Ceylon pear sapphire is a compelling choice that will shine for generations.
