1.10 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the heart of Ceylon, where ancient rivers have long whispered secrets to the earth, this blue sapphire began its journey as a small, hopeful crystal buried in metamorphic rock, patiently catching light between layers of time. Our miners in Sri Lanka recognized its potential and sent it to skilled cutters who revealed its soul without altering its nature. At 1.10 carat, with precise dimensions of 6.84 x 4.66 x 3.33 mm, this emerald cut sapphire was shaped to honor the stone rather than to hide it. The emerald cut creates a serene rectangular pavilion and broad step facets that emphasize the gem's intense color intensity and its transparent quality. Polished to an excellent finish, with no enhancement applied, the result is a gem that reads as honest and pure, a sapphire that shows the landscape of its origin in every facet.

When you hold this stone you can see why The Natural Sapphire Company chose it for a statement setting, because its size and clarity allow it to command attention without shouting, and because its very very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level means the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem's overall brilliance. The deep, Ceylon blue is vivid and lively, able to move from royal calm to electric presence as the light shifts, and the clean geometry of the emerald cut gives a contemporary silhouette that flatters both classic and modern designs. This sapphire will sit beautifully as a solitaire ring center or as the central gem in an elegant cocktail piece, offering a balance of presence and refinement. As with every offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem carries a story from the mine to the master cutter, and then to you, ready to become part of the next chapter in its life, an heirloom formed by nature and perfected by human hands.
