1.10 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.10 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, measuring 5.73 x 4.70 x 3.98 mm, presents a rare balance of weight, color, and craftsmanship that sets it apart from the run of stones on the market. At 1.10 carats this sapphire passes an important threshold where presence and value increase disproportionately compared to smaller gems, making it substantially rarer than the more common 0.50 to 0.90 carat stones you will often see. The mixed brilliant faceted cut was chosen to retain weight while maximizing light return, so the stone reads larger on the finger than its millimeter dimensions might suggest. With intense color intensity, excellent polish, and a clarity graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the overall face up appearance is vivid and lively, the inclusions adding character without interrupting the deep blue saturation. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and a standard heat enhancement further secure its place as a top value piece for collectors and designers who want that classic Ceylon brightness with the impact of over one carat.

Compared to many market options, this sapphire represents superior value because it combines the weight that buyers prize with the intense, clean color that collectors demand. Many larger stones sacrifice tone or polish to achieve size, and many smaller stones offer good color but lack presence. This 1.10 carat cushion bridges that gap, offering the visual heft of a larger gem while keeping proportions ideal for rings, pendants, or bespoke settings. Heat treatment is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color, making this sapphire a practical and durable choice, while untreated stones of comparable color and weight command exponentially higher prices. The Natural Sapphire Company curates gems like this to emphasize balanced quality, so you receive a stone that is both rare in its weight class and honest in its presentation. For buyers comparing carat for carat value, this Ceylon cushion sapphire outperforms many alternatives, delivering a combination of rarity, intense color, and cut efficiency that is difficult to find in the current market.
