1.08 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

As a specialist at The Natural Sapphire Company, I am delighted to present a truly evocative example of Ceylon heritage, a transparent 1.08 carat cushion shape blue sapphire that speaks to centuries of admiration and tradition, dimensions 6.02 x 5.84 x 3.31 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, excellent polish, heat treated, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka. This sapphire carries the soft, luminous blue that has defined classical jewellery for generations, a hue prized by collectors and connoisseurs who value provenance and history. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut combine to offer a classical silhouette with contemporary fire, while the excellent polish maximizes light return and surface scintillation. Slight inclusions, visible only at eye level, are characteristic of natural Ceylon sapphires and provide assurance of natural origin and authenticity, reinforcing its narrative as a genuine parcel of geological history rather than a manufactured replica.

From an investment perspective, this Ceylon sapphire represents more than an object of beauty, it is an assertion of enduring value. Historically, well provenanced sapphires from Sri Lanka have demonstrated steady demand due to their consistent color character and longstanding place in both royal and private collections, and this 1.08 carat cushion sits in a size bracket that is highly wearable yet scarce enough to remain desirable. Heat treated sapphires are accepted in the market and while treatment is disclosed, the enhancement is stable, industry standard, and does not negate the stones desirability or future appreciation potential. Factors that support future value include origin documentation, quality of cut and polish, and the gems transparent medium blue tone, all present here. For clients seeking a piece to become a family heirloom, or investors looking for tangible assets with aesthetic utility, this sapphire offers liquidity within specialist markets, potential for appreciation as supply pressures and provenance awareness grow, and the reassurance of acquisition from The Natural Sapphire Company, an established source committed to ethical sourcing and expert curation.
