1.06 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare expression of refined taste and measured elegance, this bluish green sapphire is an object of desire, an assurance of quiet luxury carried with confidence. We present a transparent 1.06 carat emerald cut sapphire, sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance famed for producing sapphires with exceptional life and subtle complexity. The stone measures 8.86 x 4.30 x 2.54 mm, a slender, elongated profile that reads as modern and sophisticated, yet timeless in its architectural clarity. Its medium color intensity allows a beautiful balance between depth and light, revealing both the delicate bluish green hue and an inner fire when viewed from multiple angles. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, a testament to the high standard of material offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, and the excellent polish ensures every facet edge captures and returns light with crisp brilliance. Enhancement is by heat treatment, a common and stable process that enhances the gem, preserving its natural character while elevating its color and clarity.

The gem is ideally suited to bespoke jewelry, its dimensions and emerald cut lending themselves to a number of refined settings that celebrate elongation and geometry. An east west setting will transform the stone into a contemporary focal point, a fashion forward bar of color that flatters a slender finger and reads as both minimalist and luxurious. Mounted north south in a low profile bezel or a four prong cathedral setting, the stone will sit with quiet authority as a centerpiece for an engagement ring that favors proportion and modern lines, an ideal choice for the client who seeks an alternative to the traditional round center. The 8.86 length with 4.30 width offers the perfect footprint for a tapered shank or a delicate halo of pavé diamonds that enhances presence without overwhelming the stone, maintaining the sapphire as the unquestioned protagonist in a bespoke creation. For necklaces and bracelets, the emerald cut translates beautifully into linear compositions, pairing as a bar pendant, a sophisticated tennis bracelet anchor, or as a striking center for a lariat design, allowing jewelry designers to craft pieces that are wearable, durable, and unmistakably personal.

From a gemological and aesthetic perspective, this sapphire delivers the attributes that bespoke jewelers prize when creating signature pieces, clarity, cut, color, and polish working in harmonious balance. The emerald cut, with its step facets and open table, offers a refined window into the stone, revealing its internal character and rewarding careful consideration of setting depth and bezel choice. The very very slightly included clarity grade, when evaluated at eye level, speaks to a clean appearance that permits intimate encounters with the color and light of the gem, while the excellent polish ensures smooth facet junctions that contribute to a satisfying tactile and visual experience once set. The medium color intensity is especially advantageous for custom designs, permitting the gem to read differently under varied lighting and metal choices, creating a dialogue with warm metals such as yellow and rose gold, and with cool metals such as platinum and white gold. The heat treatment performed is stable and industry accepted, and given sapphire hardness and toughness that rank at the top for everyday wear, this stone is an excellent candidate for pieces intended to be treasured and worn daily.

Owning this Ceylon sapphire is an invitation to create, a rare opportunity to fashion a piece that communicates discerning taste and a sophisticated point of view. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take a curator s approach, assisting clients and designers in translating the stone s proportions and personality into a finished jewel that feels inevitable and personal.
