1.07 Ct. Color Change Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for the perfect stone to end your quest for an engagement ring that feels both rare and radiant, or if you are a collector seeking a single example that captures a story in every light, this transparent 1.07 carat pear shape color change sapphire answers that call. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem measures 8.57 x 4.87 x 3.43 mm, with a refined mixed brilliant cut that marries the best of brilliant and step cutting techniques. Its intense color intensity gives it a presence that reads as rich and alive, and the clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level means the view through the table is clear and clean, with only the tiniest natural markers that confirm authenticity rather than distract from beauty. The excellent polish on every facet produces a surface so smooth that light meets it and returns with pronounced brilliance, and the stone has been heat treated to enhance its innate color and clarity in a way that is both common and fully disclosed among fine sapphires.

What sets this sapphire apart from many others is the way its internal structure and precision cutting collaborate to create an unmatched sparkle. The mixed brilliant cut places small, precisely angled brilliant facets on the crown to increase scintillation, while the pavilion contains longer step facets that channel and reflect light back through the table with depth and color saturation. The pear shape further accentuates this effect, concentrating flashes of light toward the tip and across the breadth of the gem for a lively, directional shimmer that changes as the gem moves. Because the stone is very very slightly included, there are minimal interruptions inside the crystal lattice, which allows beams of light to traverse the gem with maximum freedom, refracting and dispersing into lively flashes instead of being absorbed. Add the excellent polish and you have mirror like facet faces that act like windows and mirrors in concert, returning bright white sparkle and deep colored flashes in equal measure. On top of these optical virtues this sapphire displays a pleasing color change, showing different hues under fluorescent and incandescent lighting, which is a signature of fine color change sapphires and offers the wearer an experience where the gem feels almost alive, responsive to its surroundings.

For someone wanting a single stone to become an enduring centerpiece, this pear shape color change sapphire is an exceptional solution. Its 1.07 carat weight balances presence and wearability, fitting elegantly into solitaire, halo, or three stone designs while still allowing the cut and clarity to sing. Collectors will appreciate the combination of Ceylon origin, intense color, and disclosed heat treatment, all of which speak to value and provenance, and couples planning an engagement will find its transparent personality and lively color change a romantic daily reminder that every glance can reveal something new. At The Natural Sapphire Company we place an emphasis on matching a gem to its future life, whether that life is a handcrafted bespoke ring or a secure place in a curated collection, and we welcome inquiries about mounting suggestions, complementary accent stones, and setting styles that protect and showcase the pointed end of the pear. Simple care keeps this sapphire brilliant for generations, clean it gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and have settings inspected periodically to ensure the gem remains secure.
