1.05 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.05 carat pear shape blue sapphire from Ceylon, with dimensions of 8.15 x 5.54 x 2.99 mm, offers a rare combination of vivid color intensity, clean eye visible clarity, and superb craftsmanship. This gem has a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, attributes that make its deep Ceylon blue sing with life and movement. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity is graded as very very slightly included, and you will find those minute inclusions add character without affecting the stones ability to deliver a pure, saturated blue that reads vivid in every light. Importantly, this sapphire carries no enhancement, so the color and clarity are entirely natural and unchanged, a distinction that separates it from many market alternatives that rely on heat treatment or clarity filling to simulate the look of a higher quality stone.

When compared to other engagement options, this Ceylon sapphire stands out for quality, value, and authenticity. Compared with many heated or filled sapphires that dominate the mid market, an untreated Ceylon stone preserves every nuance of natural formation and therefore commands a unique presence on the finger, color that shifts with life and depth that synthetic processes cannot replicate. Against diamonds, the sapphire presents a more personal, characterful statement, offering saturated color where a diamond delivers colorless brilliance, and it gives a distinctive alternative for couples who prefer personality and hue over traditional sparkle. Versus lab grown gemstones, the provenance from Sri Lanka and the absence of enhancement provide an emotional and long term value advantage, because natural stones with traceable origin retain desirability and market confidence. From a practical standpoint, sapphires are second only to diamond in hardness, so this pear shaped gem is as appropriate for everyday wear as it is beautiful, and the mixed brilliant cut was selected to maximize both scintillation and color saturation, balancing fire with the deep Ceylon blue that collectors and brides frequently seek.

For an engagement setting, the pear shape is inherently flattering, elongating the finger and offering both a classic and modern silhouette that adapts beautifully to solitaire, halo, three stone, or bespoke vintage inspired designs. At 1.05 carat, with dimensions of 8.15 x 5.54 x 2.99 mm, this piece is roomy enough to hold its own as a center stone, yet versatile enough to sit comfortably in a variety of mounting styles. The excellent polish and precise facets ensure exceptional light return, so whether the setting emphasizes the stones profile with a prong mount, cradles it in a bezel for a contemporary feel, or surrounds it with diamonds to heighten contrast, you will find the gem translates into a memorable engagement ring. Choose this sapphire for a bride who values origin, for a couple who prefers natural beauty over treated gemstones, and for anyone who desires a ring that will age gracefully while maintaining both visual appeal and resale integrity.
