1.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are stones that whisper and stones that sing, and this sapphire sings like the sea beneath a moon that remembers your name, a lucid, transparent blue that seems to hold an entire evening in its heart. GIA certified, weighing 1.06 carat, this emerald cut blue sapphire measures 5.99 x 5.04 x 3.56 millimeters, a precisely proportioned jewel that sits with calm assurance in the palm of your hand. The stepped facets of the emerald cut create a tableau of deep velvety planes, a corridor of light that draws the eye inward to the gem core, and it is there that the vivid blue color intensity reveals itself with the quiet drama of twilight. Imagine a ribbon of indigo silk folded into an everlasting bow, a color that answers vows without words, and you will begin to understand the romance this stone brings to a ring, a pendant, or a bespoke heirloom piece.

As someone who has studied the breath and bones of fine gems, I can tell you the personality of this sapphire is as honest as it is beautiful. It is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a clarity that keeps the gem looking clean and luminous while retaining the natural fingerprint that speaks of its formation in the earth. The polish is excellent, every table and step shined to mirror clarity, so that light flows and rests, returning in flashes of royal blue and deep ocean. This sapphire has been heat treated, a practice that is common and stable in the trade, and a treatment that we disclose openly, because transparency is part of the romance. The GIA certification pairs with these details to give you expertise and assurance, the written promise of origin and quality that matches the emotional promise you make when you choose a gem for a lifetime.

The provenance of this gem is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place where sapphire lore is woven into the landscape, and where miners and cutters uphold traditions as old as the trade itself. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that lineage by insisting on responsible sourcing, by working with partners who pay fair wages, maintain safe working conditions, and steward the land. We trace our sapphires through transparent channels, so that when you place this stone in your collection you are not only acquiring beauty, you are endorsing ethical practices that sustain families and communities.

Consider this gem as the heart of a collection that speaks softly of stewardship, a core piece that reflects your taste and your principles.
