1.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This heart shaped blue sapphire weighs 1.04 carat, with dimensions of 5.25 x 6.62 x 3.68 mm, cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style that combines precise facet geometry with a sculpted pavilion profile. The gem originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and has undergone heat treatment to enhance its chroma and stability. Color intensity is classified as intense, presenting a deep, vivid blue that maintains saturation across the crown and pavilion. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, and the material is otherwise transparent. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and smooth mirror surfaces that maximize light return, while symmetry and proportional depth have been controlled to present balanced brilliance and even color distribution throughout the heart motif. These objective attributes are documented by The Natural Sapphire Company, and reflect the rigorous selection standards applied to our inventory.

Although the stone contains minor inclusions when examined at eye level, the combined effect of the mixed brilliant cut and the superior polish gives an overall appearance of clean, uninterrupted light and color from multiple viewpoints. The brilliant facets on the crown capture and refract incident light into vivid flashes, while the pavilion architecture directs that light back through the heart silhouette, producing scintillation and depth that read as near flawless to the naked eye. The excellent polish minimizes surface disruption, so each facet face yields a sharp return and contributes to consistent sparkle as the gem is rotated. The heart outline, with its rounded lobes and defined cleft, benefits from the cutter s attention to proportion, allowing the intense Ceylon blue to play evenly across the form, and to appear rich and saturated in close setting photographs and when mounted in fine jewelry. For a client seeking a classic yet distinctive center stone, this sapphire offers a measured combination of natural origin, controlled enhancement, and lapidary craftsmanship that enhances its visual impact from every angle, presented and guaranteed by The Natural Sapphire Company.
