1.07 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The 1.07 carat oval blue sapphire presented here is a testament to the enduring allure and unmatched distinction associated with gemstones of superior quality. This sapphire, with its impressive dimensions of 6.52 x 5.41 x 3.64 mm, carries the legacy of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, a region celebrated historically for producing sapphires of extraordinary beauty and richness. Its oval shape is expertly executed through a mixed brilliant cut, which maximizes the stone's ability to capture and reflect light, resulting in a remarkable display of brilliance. The precision of this cut ensures that the sapphire not only stands out for its vibrant blue hue but also for its captivating sparkle.

The intense color intensity of this sapphire is particularly noteworthy. Unlike other members of the corundum family, blue sapphires acquire their depth of color from trace elements, imparting a unique character to each stone. This particular specimen exhibits a deep and even saturation that is reminiscent of historical gems like the illustrious Blue Belle, treasured by the cognoscenti for their profound color intensity and unparalleled beauty. In comparison, this sapphire matches its famous counterparts in terms of its dazzling hue while maintaining an equally compelling visual splendor. Its excellent polish further enhances its appeal, revealing a surface luster that elevates the gem's innate elegance and reflective properties, finely mirroring the sophisticated craftsmanship involved in bringing this gemstone to its full potential.

With a clarity grade evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, this sapphire maintains an appearance of pristine purity. Its subtle inclusions, typical in natural sapphires, do not detract from its beauty but rather add to its authenticity and character, making it a truly special offering for the gemstone enthusiast. The Natural Sapphire Company prides itself on sourcing gemstones like this exquisite sapphire that embody the principles of exceptionality and superb quality. By choosing this gemstone, one not only invests in an asset of enduring elegance but also becomes part of a tradition steeped in historical significance, much like the timeless sapphires that have adorned the annals of history.
