1.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional Ceylon blue sapphire offered exclusively through The Natural Sapphire Company, a gem that reads as much like a work of art as a gemstone, and a piece reserved for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate true rarity. This transparent pear shape sapphire weighs 1.06 carats, and measures 8.25 by 5.03 by 3.09 millimeters, a balanced proportion that speaks to thoughtful material selection and exacting cutting. The gem displays an intense color intensity that saturates the eye without becoming heavy, a tone that is unmistakably Ceylon in character, and an excellent polish that completes the surface with a mirror like finish. It has been heat treated to enhance its innate beauty, a long established and fully disclosed practice, and it carries a clarity grade described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone reads extremely clean to the viewer and retains both transparency and depth. The mixed brilliant cut and the elegant pear outline make this sapphire versatile for both classic and contemporary settings, and its individuality ensures that it will never be commonplace in any jewelry collection.

What sets this sapphire apart is the precision of its geometric faceting, deliberately engineered to produce maximum light play, and to reveal the many tonalities hidden within a single stone. The mixed brilliant cut harmonizes a brilliant pattern on the crown with thoughtfully arranged pavilion facets, creating a choreography of light that alternates between scintillating flashes and broad windows of pure color. Each facet has been placed to optimize return of light to the eye, to capture and channel light from every angle, and to create a lively scintillation that animates the stone with movement. The pear shape acts as a lens for color, directing the blue through converging facets so that the point of the pear anchors the gaze while the rounded end presents a full, velvety field of hue. The geometry produces a balance between brilliance and depth, so that in bright light the sapphire dances with pinpoint flashes, and in softer light it reveals velvety, saturated blue that glows from within. This interplay between geometry and light is what distinguishes fine cutting from ordinary fashioning, and it is why a precision faceted sapphire like this can seem to change its presence with every turn of the wrist.

The provenance of this gemstone enhances its desirability, and its Ceylon origin lends a pedigree respected by gem aficionados around the world. Sapphires from Sri Lanka are celebrated for their pure, vibrant blues and their capacity to combine saturation with brightness, a blend that many collectors prize above all else. The very very slightly included evaluated at eye level clarity means that the stone maintains exceptional transparency and brilliance while retaining natural character, and the excellent polish heightens the surface luster so that light moves across the gem with minimal resistance. Heat treatment has been applied to improve color uniformity and clarity in a stable and permanent manner, a treatment we fully disclose and one that has been standard practice across the trade for generations. Because gems of this quality and of this particular Ceylonic expression are seldom available in these dimensions and weight, this sapphire represents not only a singular beauty but also a strategic acquisition for anyone curating a private collection or commissioning a truly unique engagement piece.

As custodians of rare sapphires, The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to consider bespoke settings that will honor the stone and highlight its geometric brilliance, settings such as a classic solitaire that allows the stone to speak for itself, a tapered halo that plays with contrast and scale, or a modern three stone design that pairs this pear shape with brilliant cut accents to emphasize its scintillation. We can provide tailored mounting advice, custom design services, and a full gemological report on request, ensuring that your investment is documented and understood. For everyday wear the sapphire responds beautifully to secure prong work that shows off the pointed profile, and for a pendant placement the pear silhouette offers a graceful drop that catches light with each movement. Availability is limited to a single piece at this specification, and owning it places you among an intimate group who appreciate genuine rarity and provenance. Contact The Natural Sapphire Company to reserve this exceptional 1.06 carat Ceylon pear sapphire, and let us assist you in creating the setting that will forever celebrate its geometry, its light, and its singular beauty.
