1.09 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.09 carat pear shape blue sapphire measures 8.61 x 4.97 x 3.49 mm, and it has been expertly faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to balance brilliance and color saturation. The mixed brilliant design concentrates fine facets on the crown while maintaining strong pavilion facets, producing lively scintillation and efficient light return in a tapered pear outline. Clarity is graded eye clean when viewed at normal viewing distance, which is particularly desirable at this carat weight because it preserves visual purity without the need for magnification. Color is described as vivid in intensity, a highly sought after category for blue sapphires, and the excellent polish enhances surface luster and the stone s ability to display deep blue tones. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historic source known for producing sapphires with lively, vivid blues that sit between cornflower and royal blue, and this piece has been heat treated, which is a widely accepted and stable enhancement used to optimize color and clarity. As with all of our gems at The Natural Sapphire Company, these attributes together represent a combination of provenance, cutting quality, and natural material that an informed buyer will recognize as value enhancing.

This sapphire s form factor and optical qualities make it exceptionally versatile, suitable for both casual and formal jewelry settings. In everyday wear it performs well because sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs scale, offering strong resistance to abrasion and retention of polish, and in formal pieces its vivid blue and pear silhouette make an elegant focal point for solitaire rings, halo engagement settings, drop pendants, or delicate studs. Choosing white metals such as platinum or white gold will emphasize the stone s cool blue, while yellow or rose gold will create a warm contrast that highlights depth and richness. For care, routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain brilliance, and gentle handling will preserve polish over time. Buyers seeking a responsibly sourced, visually striking sapphire will find this stone appealing for its documented Sri Lankan origin, its eye clean clarity, the precision of its mixed brilliant cut, and the persistent desirability of vivid blue coloration, and The Natural Sapphire Company is available to provide additional gemological details and guidance on settings to match your style preferences.
