1.05 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You have searched for a sapphire that speaks to both heart and eye, whether for an engagement ring that will be worn every day, a statement piece that captures attention at special events, or a prized addition to a careful collector, and this 1.05 carat oval blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is poised to answer that search. Its size is substantial enough to make a confident presence without overwhelming a delicate setting, and its classic oval silhouette offers timeless elegance with a modern flair. If your priority is a gem that balances wearability with showstopping personality, this stone meets that need with exacting detail and natural charisma. The oval shape flatters the hand and translates beautifully into four claw, bezel, or custom halo settings, so if you are imagining a minimalist solitaire or a bespoke vintage inspired design, this sapphire is a superb canvas ready to be set into the piece you have been envisioning.

What will most likely capture your attention first is the way this sapphire plays with light, and that is a direct result of its mixed brilliant faceting and the precise geometry employed during cutting. The mixed brilliant cut combines the scintillation and break up of light from a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with carefully calculated pavilion facets that guide light back through the table with lively return. The crown features kite and triangular facets that catch and multiply incoming light, while the pavilion facets are arranged to optimize both brilliance and depth of tone, creating a dynamic contrast between bright flashes and saturated windows of color. This geometry is intentionally designed to maximize both sparkle and color depth, so in bright light the stone scintillates with quick, lively flashes, and in softer light it rests into a rich, intense blue that exhibits a velvety allure. Every facet edge and angle has been adjusted to enhance optical performance, and the result is a gemstone that performs elegantly under varied lighting conditions, rewarding the wearer with constant visual interest.

Beyond its cutting geometry, the physical and gemological details of this sapphire are tailored to discerning tastes. The stone weighs 1.05 carats and measures 6.54 x 5.32 x 3.54 mm, dimensions that translate to a flattering face up size and reliable spread in a variety of mounting styles. Its clarity is graded included as evaluated at eye level, which means it has natural inclusions visible under careful observation, and those inclusions are part of its authenticity and story, a reminder that you are acquiring a natural, mined gemstone rather than a synthetic or overly treated imitation. The color intensity is recorded as intense, a deep and vivid blue that reflects the classic Ceylon character of lively saturation and clarity of hue, and the polish is excellent, giving each facet a crisp finish that contributes to the gem’s overall brightness. This sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement used across the trade to refine color and clarity, and when combined with the cutter’s art it yields a reliably beautiful and durable gem. The origin, Ceylon Sri Lanka, is renowned for producing sapphires with bright, inviting blues, and this stone carries that legacy in its tone and personality.
