1.02 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional Ceylon treasure, presented exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company, a single, transparent 1.02 carat round blue sapphire that carries the unmistakable signature of Sri Lankan origin. Measured at 5.96 x 5.95 x 3.67 mm, this stone is meticulously faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that maximizes scintillation while preserving the gem family elegance that collectors prize. The clarity grade reads very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which, paired with an excellent polish, produces a purity and window into the heart of the sapphire that is immediately apparent to the discerning eye. With an intense color intensity that lives somewhere between deep royal and vivid cornflower, this sapphire commands attention the moment it meets light, making it an ideal candidate for a centerpiece that defines a bespoke collection. Treated by traditional heat methods to refine and stabilize its hue, this sapphire remains wholly natural in origin, a statement of provenance and enduring beauty from Ceylon Sri Lanka.

The proportions and craftsmanship of this stone create a presence that is both powerful and wearable, a rare combination that elevates it from a mere gem to a signature piece. At just over a carat, the round silhouette delivers classic symmetry, while the mixed brilliant faceting pattern allows for extraordinary light return, giving the impression of greater size when set in the right mounting. The dimensions translate into a comfortable, eye catching fit on a ring or as the focal point of a pendant, ensuring that the wearer will become part of an exclusive few who carry such intensity in a compact form. The very very slightly included clarity observed at eye level means inclusions are minute and do not distract from the gem’s impact, particularly under the excellent polish that reveals a sparkling table and a lively pavilion. Designers and collectors alike will appreciate how this sapphire responds to different metals and settings, offering a deep, saturated core that contrasts beautifully with a slender bezel, and an expansive play of light that a halo or solitaire setting will only amplify.

Owning this sapphire is to step into an elite circle of connoisseurs who value not just beauty but rarity and provenance, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer personalized service to match the gem’s pedigree. Because such stones are uncommon in this combination of carat weight, clarity, and intense Ceylon color, opportunities to acquire a piece like this are limited, and each stone carries its own story from mine to hand to design. We invite you to explore bespoke mounting options designed to showcase the stone’s presence, or to arrange a private viewing where you can experience the sapphire under varied light sources to appreciate its full range. Whether set for daily wear as a bold signet, crafted into an heirloom ring that will be passed down, or reserved as a museum quality loose gem, this sapphire promises distinction, timelessness, and membership in a very small fraternity of collectors who possess truly exceptional Ceylon sapphires.
