1.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This remarkable Sri Lankan treasure is a transparent blue sapphire of 1.04 carats, cut to an elegant oval measuring 7.44 by 5.77 by 3.10 millimeters, offering a classic silhouette that flatters every setting. Precision fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, this gem is designed to balance scintillation with depth, catching light across both the crown and pavilion so the blue appears lively from every angle. At eye level it reads as very slightly included, which means the stone remains visually clean and delightful to behold, while the excellent polish ensures every facet returns light with crisp, luminous clarity. The color intensity sits at a medium level, a soft, refined Ceylon blue that exudes quiet luxury rather than loud spectacle, and notably this stone has no enhancement, a feature that places it in a rarefied category among natural sapphires. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance long celebrated by connoisseurs for producing sapphires of exceptional character, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we value this gem as a singular find, perfect for a bespoke commission or a distinguished heirloom piece.

Beyond its physical beauty, this sapphire carries the living heritage of centuries, a lineage of meaning and ritual that elevates it from precious stone to cultural emblem. Ceylon sapphires have been sought after since antiquity, trading hands along ancient routes and finding their way into crowns, talismans, and sacred jewelry. In many traditions sapphires were worn by clergy and monarchs as symbols of wisdom, virtue, and protection, believed to guard the wearer against envy and harm and to attract blessings and clarity of mind. Healers and astrologers of old valued blue sapphires for their calming influence and their association with truth and devotion, placing them over the heart or on the third eye in ceremonial uses meant to sharpen insight and steady intention. The soft medium blue of this particular stone evokes the clear, serene tones favored by artisans and monarchs of the Indian Ocean world, a color that reads both regal and meditative, a perfect companion for someone who cherishes continuity with the past and wishes to carry forward a piece of that same legacy.

Ownership of a no enhancement Ceylon sapphire of this quality is an invitation to join a small circle of collectors and patrons who demand authenticity, provenance, and artistry in equal measure. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this 1.04 carat oval as a one of a kind opportunity, a gem whose natural state and refined proportions make it especially well suited to bespoke settings, whether set in a slender platinum solitaire to highlight its clarity, embraced by a vintage halo for a romantic engagement ring, or mounted as a statement pendant that lets the light play freely across its mixed brilliant facets.
