1.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One transparent 1.04 carat oval blue sapphire, dimensions 6.05 x 5.16 x 4.23 mm, presents a classic oval silhouette that balances presence with wearability. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, producing a well controlled pattern of light return through the crown and pavilion, and it displays a vivid color intensity that is true to Ceylon origin, with rich medium to deep blue tones that remain lively under a range of lighting conditions. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor internal characteristics that do not detract from face up appearance or durability. The polish is excellent, providing crisp facet junctions and a smooth surface that supports strong luster, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves color and clarity. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with desirable hue and saturation, and the overall presentation of this gem reflects careful cutting and finishing to maximize its optical performance.

The size and oval shape of this 1.04 carat sapphire make it particularly well suited for custom jewelry, offering versatility for a variety of settings and design priorities. At 6.05 x 5.16 mm the stone provides a comfortable center for a refined solitaire ring or for an elegant halo design that amplifies perceived size without overwhelming the natural proportions. The mixed brilliant cut supports both open prong settings that emphasize brilliance and bezel settings that prioritize security, and the moderate depth of 4.23 mm aids in achieving a balanced visible diameter while maintaining strong pavilion structure for setting stability. For bespoke pieces, this sapphire adapts readily to three stone layouts, pendant mounts, and paired earring designs when matched with complementary stones, and its vivid Ceylon blue offers excellent contrast against both white and yellow metals. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide detailed mounting recommendations and technical specifications for custom fabrication to ensure the stone is set to optimize its color, clarity, and light performance, helping makers and clients translate this gem into a finished piece that performs as intended in everyday wear.
