1.03 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to present this exquisite transparent 1.03 carat round shape greenish blue sapphire. This remarkable gemstone measures 5.62 x 5.58 x 3.97 mm and boasts a mixed brilliant cut that accentuates its inherent sparkle. What makes this sapphire truly outstanding is not only its vibrant hue but also its notable weight. At 1.03 carats, this is a gemstone that exemplifies the perfect balance between size and brilliance, adding significant value and rarity to any collection or jewelry piece.

The weight of a gemstone is one of the primary factors that determine its value, and this sapphire does not fall short in that regard. A carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams, but the term carries far more importance than its mere numerical representation. Typically, the larger the gemstone, the rarer it becomes. Sapphires, in particular, become exceptionally rare as they increase in size because perfect specimens without blemishes or inclusions are rare. At slightly over one carat, this sapphire strikes the fine balance between being noticeable and maintaining its purity, making it an ideal choice for investors and collectors alike.

When we examine the clarity of a gemstone, we are investigating the natural inclusions and imperfections that may affect its transparency and brilliance. This exquisite greenish blue sapphire features a clarity grade of eye clean, evaluated at eye level, meaning there are no visible inclusions to the unaided eye. An eye clean rating is especially desirable in the realm of gemstones, as it indicates a high quality that permits maximum luster and light reflection. This crystal-clear appearance enhances the inherent charm of the gemstone, allowing its medium color intensity to shine unencumbered, thus amplifying its appeal to discerning individuals and collectors.

Intensifying its allure further is the origin of this captivating gemstone. Known as one of the preeminent sources of exquisite sapphires, Ceylon, or present-day Sri Lanka, has a storied history of mining some of the world's most sought-after gemstones. The island nation's sapphires are synonymous with exceptional quality and stunning color. The greenish blue hue of this sapphire is reminiscent of the lush landscapes and the surround of pristine blue waters for which Sri Lanka is acclaimed. With origins as culturally rich as its geological underpinnings, owning a Ceylon sapphire not only comes with an aesthetic preference but also speaks to a legacy of rarity and sustainable sourcing that The Natural Sapphire Company steadfastly upholds.

This gem is not only remarkably polished, boasting an excellent finish that perfects every facet to perfection, but it also encapsulates countless qualities that make it a wise investment choice. Properly cared for, sapphires can retain and even increase their value over time due to their perennial demand and gemstone durability. By purchasing from The Natural Sapphire Company, you are assured of authentic quality and unsurpassed expertise that pioneers industry standards. Whether this sapphire becomes a cherished centerpiece of engagement jewelry or forms part of an esteemed gemstone collection, it promises exceptional value to the educated buyer.
