1.08 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Held within a cushion shape of timeless proportion, this 1.08 carat blue sapphire is a rare invitation to ownership, a stone that reads like a private chapter in the story of fine jewels. Carefully sourced from the storied gemfields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, its vivid color intensity arrests the eye at once, a saturated cornflower blue that remains vibrant under varied light. The gem measures 6.53 by 5.63 by 3.28 millimeters, a compact and wearable size that translates into a presence that feels both intimate and commanding on the hand. Clarity is described as very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a mark of natural authenticity that does nothing to diminish the purity of tone. Finished to an excellent polish, the surface is pristine, each facet meeting with crisp definition, a reflection of both the cutter s skill and the provenance that The Natural Sapphire Company brings to every offering. Heat treated to enhance and stabilize its natural color, this sapphire offers the best of ethical sourcing and expert enhancement, a stone prepared to show its brilliance for generations.

What sets this sapphire apart is its geometric faceting, a mixed brilliant architecture designed to coax the maximum play of light from the crystal. The mixed brilliant cut combines the scintillating geometry of brilliant facets on the crown with a more measured arrangement on the pavilion, producing a dance of pinpoint flashes and broad internal glow. At the surface, the table and crown facets act as windows and mirrors, capturing ambient light and fragmenting it into lively scintillation. Beneath the girdle, the pavilion facets gather and return those rays with purposeful angles, creating depth and contrast that enhance the vivid blue rather than wash it out. This geometry minimizes windowing and balances face up color with internal brilliance, so the stone reads richly colored from any viewing distance while offering lively fireworks when the hand moves. The cushion outline softens the geometry with elegant curves, a counterpoint to the precise facet angles that results in a gem both modern in its optical performance and classic in its silhouette.

Owning this sapphire means joining an exclusive circle of collectors and connoisseurs who understand the language of exceptional gems. It is a jewel that translates easily into a bespoke engagement ring, a pendant that centers every ensemble, or a singular study piece in a private collection, each setting amplifying aspects of the stone s personality. Because each sapphire of this quality and origin is uncommon, The Natural Sapphire Company brings limited opportunities to acquire stones of this caliber, and personalized advice is available to pair this gem with a setting that will further enhance its geometry and color. When set with complementary metals and design, the mixed brilliant faceting will continue to reveal new facets of beauty, each movement generating fresh scintillation and deepening the impression of rarity. For those who seek a gemstone experience that combines provenance, technical excellence, and a palpable sense of exclusivity, this 1.08 carat cushion shape Ceylon sapphire offers an unmatched proposition, a private treasure made visible to the world through precise faceting and consummate polish.
