1.09 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This one point zero nine carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is an exceptional example of what collectors and fine jewelry buyers seek, measuring seven point five eight by five point four one by three point zero two millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and face up size. Compared to the many commercial sapphires on the market that trade off color saturation for size, this stone pairs a vivid color intensity with an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level, a combination that is notably rare in stones of this weight. Many stones near this size show weaker tone or visible inclusions that reduce brilliance, and many vivid blues are only found in much larger or much smaller specimens. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish amplify light return so the gem appears livelier and more luminous than many stones of similar carat weight and proportions, giving it visual presence beyond the numbers.

When you compare this Ceylon sapphire to alternatives from other origins and treatments, its provenance and presentation stand out, The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem with transparent disclosure that it is heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color while preserving natural origin and durability. In terms of value this sapphire outperforms many similar market options where either the color is muted or clarity is compromised, because vivid saturation and eye clean clarity are the principal drivers of price and desirability in this size range. For a jeweler or buyer seeking a rare, wearable blue that balances brilliance and depth without resorting to larger budget tiers, this stone is a superior choice. It is particularly well suited for a refined engagement ring or an elegant pendant, because the cut and polish present a strong face up color that reads larger and richer than its carat might suggest. Choosing this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company means selecting a gem that combines scarcity, craftsmanship, and honest provenance, a combination that is difficult to find in the current market.
