1.08 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite Ceylon sapphire carries with it the weight of centuries of admiration and craftsmanship, an heirloom ready to begin its journey in your collection. We present a beautiful transparent 1.08 carat round shape blue sapphire, measuring 6.03 x 6.02 x 3.70 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth. At eye level the clarity is described as very slightly included, which lends a natural character without compromising brilliance, and the stone displays an intense color intensity with an excellent polish that captures light with a luminous, almost velvety blue. Sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka have long been prized by royalty and collectors for their vivid hues and refined tone, and this gem follows that noble lineage, having been gently heat treated to enhance stability and color in keeping with historic practices that remain the standard among connoisseurs and lapidaries.

Imagine this timeless blue made uniquely yours through a wide range of bespoke settings, created by The Natural Sapphire Company to suit any era or aesthetic. As a solitaire this stone will speak with singular authority in a four or six prong setting, while a classic halo will amplify its presence and evoke vintage elegance. For a modern interpretation the mixed brilliant cut lends itself to a tension or bezel setting for everyday wear, and a three stone or cathedral design will frame the sapphire with diamonds for a traditional engagement piece that honors legacy. Consider pairing it with warm yellow gold to bring out golden undertones, or white metals for a crisp, contemporary contrast, and explore pavé shoulders, milgrain detail, engraved shanks, or art deco filigree to add historic texture. For earrings or a pendant the proportions are ideal for matched studs or a solitaire drop, and for those seeking a statement piece the gem adapts beautifully to cluster brooches, signet accents, or bespoke cocktail rings. Our craftsmen will advise on proportions, setting depth, and mounting style to protect the pavilion and showcase the cut and color, ensuring your commissioned piece becomes a cherished token that honors both the enduring heritage of Ceylon sapphires and your personal story.
