1.09 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite oval blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka weighs 1.09 carat and measures 7.22 by 5.12 by 3.47 millimeters, a perfectly balanced size that communicates understated authority. Cut in a mixed brilliant style and finished with an excellent polish, this transparent gem reveals an intense, saturated blue that reads as both regal and modern. The clarity is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves the stones natural character without compromising its luminous presence. Heat treated as is customary for many fine sapphires, this gem offers enhanced color stability while remaining wholly authentic, a testament to the careful selection standards upheld by The Natural Sapphire Company. Worn alone as a solitaire or paired with delicate pavé, it commands attention with a sophisticated calm that only genuine Ceylon sapphire can provide.

When compared to more familiar gems this sapphires brilliance is quietly superior in ways that are not measured only by fire. Diamonds, celebrated for their dispersion and scintillating fire, scatter light into many spectral flashes, yet often at the expense of pure, immersive color. This Ceylon sapphire refuses to be merely bright, it is color forward, its mixed brilliant cut engineered to maximize light return while deepening the oceanic blue that defines its personality. Against blue topaz and aquamarine, which tend toward paler, more watery tones, this sapphire offers an intensity that reads as decisive and noble. Against tanzanite, known for dramatic pleochroism but lesser durability, this sapphire brings enduring hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale and a consistent hue that will wear with confidence through generations. The slightly included clarity grants a natural depth that interacts with light to produce a velvety scintillation rather than a clinical sparkle, creating movement and life across every facet. For the connoisseur who seeks a jewel that signals cultivated taste rather than transient fashion, this Ceylon blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare synthesis of color, cut, and provenance, an heirloom quality stone that elevates any design and affirms the owners refined discernment.
