1.05 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.05 carat pear shape blue sapphire arrives to you with measured dimensions of 6.53 by 4.92 by 3.83 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, and a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level. This gem exhibits vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, qualities that together define its visual and market value. The pear shape combines classic elegance with a modern silhouette, and the mixed brilliant cut balances depth and scintillation to maximize face up color and light return. At 1.05 carats this sapphire sits in a highly desirable weight class for a center stone when set in a ring or pendant, and the eye level clarity assessment indicates inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when viewed without magnification. The sapphire has undergone standard heat treatment to enhance tone and saturation, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in the trade, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with lively, saturated blues and fine crystal structure. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone as a combination of measured beauty and technical merit, appealing to an educated buyer who values traceable origin, balanced proportions, and cutting that respects the natural color zoning of the rough.

The journey of this Ceylon sapphire from mine to market is a narrative of geology, skill, and careful stewardship. Formed over millions of years in metamorphic host rocks, the rough was recovered from Sri Lankan alluvial terraces by small scale miners whose knowledge of local deposits guides responsible sourcing. After initial sorting by color and clarity in the field, the rough was sent to experienced cutters where lapidaries studied the crystal orientation and internal features to decide on a pear shape and a mixed brilliant faceting plan that would preserve weight while enhancing color and brilliance. Controlled heat treatment was applied by seasoned technicians to optimize hue and saturation, followed by precision polishing to achieve the excellent surface finish you see. The Natural Sapphire Company then performed independent inspection and selection, photographing the gem in hand to show scale and wearable presence, and offering it with full disclosure of treatment and origin. For the buyer seeking a sapphire that combines Sri Lankan provenance, technical integrity, and refined cutting, this stone represents a thoughtful acquisition, ready to become a lasting piece of fine jewelry.
